ESPN Fantasy Football on Omarion Hampton
From the article
I was all-in on Hampton this summer. He was a breakout candidate in coordinator Mike McDaniel's new offensive system. And my opinion isn't going to change after Hampton scored 8.3 points in the Week 1 loss to the Cardinals... Hampton has the fantasy profile of a top back in this league. It was a bad game this past Sunday, but I'm expecting adjustments in L.A. for Sunday's matchup against the Raiders. Keep Hampton in the RB1 mix.
STACKED’s take
Hampton's breakout thesis intact despite Week 1 dud; negative game flow and volume adjustments expected.
Hampton scored 8.3 points in Week 1 loss to the Cardinals despite being the source's breakout candidate for the summer in Mike McDaniel's new offensive system. The source's opinion isn't changing after one bad game; the Chargers offense was difficult to watch and negative game flow impacted Hampton's late touches (43 rushing yards, one touchdown on 12 carries). Volume needs to increase, especially pass-game usage (zero targets, seven routes run in Week 1). As the No. 1 back in a run game catering to his physical, north-south traits, Hampton has the fantasy profile of a top back; the source expects adjustments in L.A. for Week 2 versus the Raiders and keeps Hampton in the RB1 mix.
