From the article

Omarion Hampton was on the field for fewer than 60 percent of the snaps against the Cardinals. That is not going to get it done for an RB1. Keaton Mitchell very much appears to be the third-down and two-minute drill back.

Hampton under 60% snaps in Week 1; needs game script help vs. Raiders.

Hampton was on the field for fewer than 60 percent of the snaps against the Cardinals in a comeback game script, which is not sufficient for RB1 consideration. Keaton Mitchell appears to be the third-down and two-minute drill back. Hampton's fantasy downside was confirmed before upside could be demonstrated, though he has a chance to improve against the Raiders in Week 2 if the Chargers are heavily favored and can dictate game flow.
