Omarion Hampton

22-Year-Old Running BackRB
Los Angeles Chargers
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ashton Jeanty tends to hog the headlines, but if Hampton were in any other draft there might have been more spotlight to properly appreciate him. Hampton is either blue-chip or close to it in his own right, heading to Los Angeles as the 22nd overall pick after topping 1,500 rushing yards in back-to-back seasons for UNC. At 6-feet, 221 pounds, Hampton logged excellent athletic testing at the combine, running a 4.46-second 40-yard dash with strong jumps (38-inch vertical, 130-inch broad jump) to finalize a standout prospect profile. He averaged 23.4 carries and 3.2 catches per game in 2024, and more than 20 touches per game in 2023, boasting elite efficiency in both samples without missing any games. Hampton may eventually rank among the league leaders in touches, but he'll first need to compete with Najee Harris, who signed a one-year, $5.25 million contract with the Chargers this offseason. While not on Hampton's level as a pure runner, Harris offers an unusual combination of size, durability and passing-down competence, making him a threat to handle high-value touches even if/when the rookie takes over as the Chargers' lead back.

Shines against Giants
RBLos Angeles Chargers
September 28, 2025
Hampton carried the ball 12 times for 128 yards and a touchdown and caught all five of his targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants.
ANALYSIS
The rookie running back capped his huge performance with a 54-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter as the Chargers tried to mount a comeback. Hampton has erupted for 294 yards from scrimmage and two TDs over the last two games as he takes over as the Chargers' unquestioned lead back in the absence of Najee Harris (Achilles), and he could be poised for big numbers once again Week 5 against a Commanders defense that just got steamrolled for 181 combined yards and a score by the Falcons' Bijan Robinson.

Main back after Harris injury
RBLos Angeles Chargers
September 21, 2025
Hampton served as the Chargers' main option out of the backfield after Najee Harris injured his Achilles during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Broncos, Kris Rhim of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Harris was taken out of the game after suffering a non-contact Achilles injury, and Hampton ended up leading the Chargers' backfield with 19 carries for 70 yards and a touchdown while adding six catches on seven targets for 59 yards. Hassan Haskins didn't record a carry during Sunday's contest, and that lack of usage points to Hampton taking on an even bigger role for the rest of the season. Next up for Hampton and the Chargers is a Week 4 road clash against the Giants on Sunday, Sept. 28.
