RB Omarion Hampton, LAC (1 Viewer)

owners that drafted him did so with the hopes that he was the primary back with the uncertainty around Najee's eye injury. With Najee going down today, Omarion took over the backfield afterall--and congrats to the owners that got him. He's a must start going forward.
 
That offensive line is a mash unit and lost another starter today. But he's gonna get lots of volume with Najee likely done for the season.

Just saw Najee tore his Achilles. Yeesh. Can probably close the book on that debate.

Hampton with a nice line - wish I’d been able to buy low.

Denver is a very good defense, too - so…

They are but Becton went down today, hopefully it's not long-term. They were already struggling with the loss of Slater and his backup Pipkins picked up an ankle injury and was in and out of the lineup today too. I still expect big things the rest of the season even if the blocking is going to be suspect

I do have to say that if you were counting on Becton to stay healthy you counted on fleeting vapors in dimly lit attics.
 
Omarion Hampton had 19 rushes for 69 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers’ Week 3 win against the Broncos, adding six catches for 60 yards.

Hampton finally saw a workhorse role in the Bolts backfield after Najee Harris left the game with what appeared to be a season-ending leg injury of some kind. Hampton’s pass-catching role exploded with Harris sidelined: He ran a route on 35 of 58 Justin Herbert drop backs and saw seven targets, the third most among all LA pass catchers on the day. Hampton had just four targets and three receptions in the season’s first two weeks. Hampton’s touchdown came on a short read-option. Unless OC Greg Roman uses Kimani Vidal in the Najee role going forward, Hampton now has the sort of workload that can translate into weekly top-10 fantasy production. Hampton takes on the Giants in Week 4.

Is it? They got abused 2 games in a row now.
 
Maybe I'm reading too much or maybe it was the opportunity but just seemed to play a lot more loose and free after Najee's injury. Like he wasn't waiting for the shoe to drop or whatever, he knew no matter what it was his
 
BTW, who should we be looking to stash in the case hampton goes down? I don’t imagine there’s anyone decent on the roster, but maybe they sign someone

Right now Hassan Haskins is the backup. But Kimani Vidal and Amar Johnson are their practice squad RBs. Vidal probably gets first crack since he's been there the longest. Amar Johnson is a bit undersized (not too badly) but he's got some juice. I think he's from South Dakota State.

I could see Gus Edwards being brought back. Knows the system and can block and fall forward.

Agree with @rockaction that Vidal will almost certainly get signed to the active roster. He was on the active roster all of last season under this staff. I think it is more likely they would sign Miller-Hines to the practice squad after moving up Vidal than signing Edwards to either active roster or practice squad. Edwards was bad last season.

I think this is probably right but Miller-Hines returns kicks. I don’t know if I like having Hampton back there on special teams.

Just got offered Jayden Daniels straight up for hampton in a redraft. I have saquan and CMC + Judkins so considering it

What’s your QB situation and can you start 3 RBs?
Click to expand...
I can start 3 RBS & have Mccaffrey, Saquan, Hampton, Judkins & maybe Harvey later

My qbs suck. Purdy on IR coming back- filled the hole w/ Marriota last week

Then yeah it does seem to make sense. Hate to give up one of the few 3 down RBs on a really good team but getting a QB is a priority for you.

Is Hassan Haskins now a handcuff?

I'll be bidding on him in two redrafts where I have Hampton, but I'm only going a few bucks. If Hampton goes down it looks like Haskins will be the next man up but I'm guessing they'd go with a committee of Haskins, Vidal, etc. if it came to it.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said that running back Kimani Vidal will be the "next man up" after Najee Harris suffered a season-ending torn Achilles in the Week 3 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday, according to Alex Insdorf. Harbaugh also said that general manager Joe Hortiz will be "scouring the market" to see what else is available at the RB position. The Chargers are expected to lean on rookie first-rounder Omarion Hampton as their lead back moving forward, with Harris done for the year, with Vidal and Hassan Haskins mixing in behind him in change-of-pace duties. Vidal, a former sixth-rounder in 2024, did not make the active 53-man roster out of training camp and was sent to the practice squad. The 24-year-old averaged 3.6 yards per carry for 155 rushing yards on 43 attempts in his rookie season. Vidal can probably remain on the waiver wire for now in most single-year fantasy leagues.--Keith Hernandez
 
They will trade for a rb before deadline..
They should go after Isaiah Davis or Tucker from Tampa. Both those guys could be starters on some teams.
 
If guy in my draft picked Cook instead of Henderson Id be a Hampton owner. I wasn't even considering Hndo.Mymimd set on Hampton in that Offense. I chose Cook over Hampton bc he already proved he can more than get it done.and in already in top offense..

Worked out ok for you, Cook is cooking. Good chance we look back in a couple weeks and Hampton vs Cook looks like a win-win between the 2 best 3rd round picks.
 
Unfortunately I own zero shares of Hampton. I've been Team Hampton all off-season. People have been either he looks awesome or he just looks ordinary. The good thing is we about to find out.

Maybe it’s just me, but he seemed different after Harris went down. He didn’t seem to have that hesitation like he was trying to figure out where he should go. He seemed to be moving more instinctively. Probably just me. I guess we’ll see.
