RB Omarion Hampton, LAC (2 Viewers)

[SaintsInDome2006]

>>>
Harbaugh was also asked about the status of rookie running back Omarion Hampton, who returned to practice last week but was not activated for Sunday's game.
"We opened his window and we certainly wouldn't have done that — his 21-day window — if he wasn't close. Again, feel like he's been on track and let the week play out," Harbaugh said.
Hampton has been on Injured Reserve since suffering an ankle injury in Week 5. He said last week that he was excited to get back on the field at some point and help the Bolts with a playoff push.
"It feels good, feels great just to be back out with the guys. Couldn't ask for nothing better," Hampton said Thursday.
He later added: "I don't know a percentage, but I feel super good. I'm getting back to where I'm at. Getting more comfortable with it, so I feel really good where I'm at."<<<

So you are saying he feels good with where he's at?

Should I feel good about where he is at on Monday Night?

CBS: Hampton “likely” back for week 14.

 

[Proteus]

Got no choice in a 14 teamer and McCaffrey on bye to start him.

If he doesn't go, it's goose-egg time or scoop Shipley. Which is probably still goose egg time.

Probably no better options regardless, but will we have a firm status for this week before Sunday's games?

 

[jobarules]

No Jalen Carter. Thats HUGE

Lol. Same situation with McCaffrey. My only "slightly better" situation is I currently have Worthy starting in my flex. I can wait up until about 7pm CT on Sunday to decide between Worthy and Hampton.

Just fearing that he plays, but only gets about 5-7 carries.

Omarion Hampton (ankle) limited in practice Thursday.

[The Frankman]

Limited is a good sign, but I'd feel better if he got in a "Full" tomorrow or Saturday. One thing to look for is do they give him Friday off to then practice again Saturday?

That sounds much different without the comma.

when do we think they take him off IR if he's playing Sunday?
Edit: Monday

He's playing Monday. Usually, teams tend to take players off IR on Saturday for Sunday games. I don't know if that means they will wait until Sunday for the Monday game.

 

[leftcoastheel]

Man can we really start him? I’ve clinched 5 or 6 seed. So selfishly hope they ease him in.

 

[Ray Barboni]

I’d assume most teams that have Hampton, also have Vidal.

What are you guys doing here? Starting Hampton with “confidence”?

Do we really think Vidal just disappears into the ether?

 

[Doubles]

I’m starting him. If he’s in a similar split like with Najee it’s still better than whatever bum I’d be filling in for him.

What if that “bum” is Vidal though?

I would imagine it’s going to be spilt at first so I’d probably start Vidal I guess. Jalen Carter out too. And I like having players on MNF for the comeback.

 

[The Frankman]

Amazed he got a Full in today. I've already clinched so no pressure to start him off the bat and my W/R/T options are pretty solid. Will wait to see how it plays out.

 

[Yorthehunter]

I’m in a win and I’m in situation. Have both Hampton and Vidal and leaning towards starting both. I think a lot will depend on if his IR is lifted Sunday before 4pm games but the team doesn’t have to lift it until Monday. Very frustrating situation as I have not other players to flex on MNF. My alternative flex would be Higgins from Texans (I am already starting Collins) or Corum or Spears.

 

[Soulfly3]

sit and come back 101% next season, fella.

Corum may not be a bad option unless you need serious upside.

Yeah I’m leaning towards this. I will have to choose Hampton or Vidal based on who is starting at kickoff I suppose. Could be a disaster either way just like my whole season.

Hampton has been sidelined since suffering an ankle fracture Week 5, but was off to a stellar start with 450 total yards and 3 TDs on 4.8 YPC. Big news for the Bolts.

Boom. My man.

Keeping him and Vidal on the bench and starting Swift.

NOT doing so confidently.

 

[The Frankman]

Questionable for Monday, still on IR​

Hampton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus the Eagles, but he remains on injured reserve.

Advice: After Hampton logged a full practice Friday, it signaled that he was closing in on his first game action since Week 5, when he suffered a fracture in his left ankle. On Saturday, numerous NFL insiders, including Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, reported that the Chargers were expected to activate Hampton from injured reserve for Week 14. Now that Hampton is deemed questionable, such a procedural move will need to take place by Monday afternoon for him to have a chance to return. Assuming that comes to pass, Hampton is a good bet to retake most of the RB reps from Kimani Vidal, who has dominated Los Angeles' backfield during the former's seven-game absence. - 3:04 PM, Rotowire.com

I would do the same. I dont like the Bears, Swift should catch some today .

 

[Zow]

In a win and in situation but no real viable alternative. Basically him or DK Metcalf in a non-PPR league. I’m an underdog need to take the swing.

I don't know what to do. Risk it with Hampton or Monangai? Neither have good matchups.

the Eagles with no Carter isn't that bad. Bears tore it up.

 

[Footballdaz]

With Alt done for ros,I'm hoping Hampton can help take some pressure off of Herbert..
Amazing how losing 1 stud offense tackle can mess up a passing game.

Bears will be running A LOT. Temps in GB like 7 degrees Today.
Hampton won't get enough touches. Plus Chargers probably playing from behind most the game.
I'd start both Bears backs if had them.

Thanks for the input though it didn't help make my decision any clearer lol

It’s 15 degrees now and will be 18 at kickoff. But yes, with the wind it will feel single digits all game.

Yeah and even more impactful to lose 2 All Pro caliber OTs (Alt and Slater).

I wish they would just activate him this AM.

No shiot. Monday night game and still on IR

What is the deadline to activate him?

400 ET. But this says he was activated Saturday?

NFL confirms OH is active.

Whew!

Let’s party!

 

[zoonation]

I fear broken hearts coming for people who started him. I don't see more than 6-8 touches. Hope he breaks one.

Really hope I am wrong. Would love to start him next week if he gets any type of volume.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

This is Vidal's backfield now boys!!!!!!

 

[urbanhack]

I wanted to start him and wished I would over Jeanty...but this is a scouting game (for me) now to see if he's viable for next week.

Crack is good no?

I think if they plan to give him only 6-8 touches they would have left him inactive another week. I see a 50/50 split or maybe 60/40 split in Hampton's favor
