Sometimes, there's a fantasy football start-sit lineup decision that feels so uncertain, you might as well just flip a coin.
That's what Omarion Hampton vs. Kimani Vidal feels like in Week 14 as Hampton returns from injury to suit up for the Los Angeles Chargers.
Their game is on Monday night, too, which doesn't necessarily complicate things but just makes it more ominous as you wait to see if you made the right choice.
Is there any way to handicap this? Eh, not really.
But here are some thoughts.

Should I start Kimani Vidal in fantasy?
It's tough to start Vidal this week.
He has a case as a FLEX play. It seems, of the two Chargers' running backs, Vidal is more likely to still see a big role. Jim Harbaugh said a bunch of positive things about Vidal this week leading into the game.
But if he only gets 10-12 carries against a stout Eagles interior defensive line, he could have a quiet day. He's not a for-sure start.
Should I start Omarion Hampton in fantasy?
It's probably safe to take a wait-and-see approach with Hampton.
The Chargers can't risk the health of their rookie too much, especially with Vidal playing well. Hampton hasn't played in about 10 weeks due to an ankle injury.
Hampton can be started if bye weeks have you in a tough spot. He'll play, and he's explosive, and the Chargers have a solid offense that could give him a chance at a touchdown.
But it feels a lot simpler to sit Hampton one more week and then decide in Week 15 what to do.
