The Los Angeles Chargers will visit the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Kimani Vidal.

Should You Start or Sit Vidal in Week 15?
Kimani Vidal got the first two running back touches for the Chargers on Monday night during Omarion Hampton’s, but the rookie outdid him 7-2 for the rest of the first half and seemed to be the desired answer to the backfield questions for this team.
The 60-yard catch on a crossing route, where he broke away and ran free with most of the action on the other half of the field, helped fuel a decent fantasy day for Vidal, but that’s not how I have it ranked in Week 15.
Hampton is a fantasy starter while Vidal is someone I view as a non-factor in a tough matchup. There’s enough contingent value in this profile to hold onto him for one more week, but don’t get too attached. I think it’s likely that he’s cuttable after a low usage Sunday.
