Omarion Hampton, RB, Chargers at Rams – Hampton only topped six fantasy points once in the four games before the Chargers' Week 7 bye. We also watched as this backfield became a true three-man, hot-hand committee, with Kimani Vidal and Keaton Mitchell. It's possible Mike McDaniel and the coaching staff made adjustments during their time off and are ready to fix the long list of problems with this offense, but expecting that to happen against the Rams is a stretch. Sean McVay's crew are 6.5-point favorites and if the Chargers are trailing, that could limit Hampton's upside, since the routes run were split almost evenly in their last outing (Hampton 15, Vidal 13, Mitchell 12). I'm treating Hampton as a TD-or-bust RB3 until further notice.

STACKED’s take

Hampton's committee role and Rams' favored status make him TD-or-bust RB3.
