Bijan Robinson
vs Omarion Hampton

“RB Receiving Usage *Data from PFF Bijan Robinson is on another planet in terms of usage. He saw 62% of Atlanta’s total rush attempts and targets on the day, the highest rate of his career! Looking at the Buccaneers backfield, Bucky Irving was not usurped by any means by Kenneth Gainwell .”

“However, the literal majority of those yards came from dumpoffs to Bijan Robinson, who finished with 90 yards (mostly on catch-and-runs) on ten targets. That leaves, if you can do the math: 53 passing yards on 12 targets that went to the rest of the team. Unfortunately for managers who drafted them, Drake London and Kyle Pitts combined for two catches for 29 yards on five targets.”

“We’ve seen Robinson put up strong fantasy performances with subpar quarterbacks, and Rush should be checkdown-friendly.”

“Jonathan Taylor , Derrick Henry , Jahmyr Gibbs , and Bijan Robinson could all threaten 300 rush attempts, making them excellent candidates to become the 2026 NFL rushing yards leader.”

“Bijan Robinson (RB – ATL) Robinson has been a fantasy star since entering the NFL, posting a top-nine PPR finish every year of his career. Furthermore, the former Texas star finished as the RB3 in 2024 and the RB2 last season despite totaling only seven rushing touchdowns.”

“Robinson is my favorite bet to be the RB1 overall in 2026.”

“Last year, Bijan Robinson was the RB2 in fantasy points per game. For most of the season, he was pacing towards a 1,000-yard season for rushing and receiving before tailing off at the end of the season (820 receiving yards).”

“Meanwhile, Bijan Robinson is the top overall player on my board and should see a spike in goal-line rushing work with Tyler Allgeier finally gone.”

“The Case for Bijan Robinson Since entering the league in 2023, Robinson has established himself as an elite running back.”

“While Omarion Hampton has been the lead back, he hasn’t come close to justifying his early second-round price tag over three weeks. Keaton Mitchell is eating into some of those high-value touches (not that the Chargers get many), and Hampton’s limited receiving role is capping his fantasy ceiling even further. If drafting today, I wouldn’t consider Hampton until the middle of the fourth round.”

“The Fantasy Points Data Suite also shows that, among 31 qualifying running backs, Omarion Hampton ranks 25th in yards before contact per attempt ( 1.28) and has been stuffed on 46% of his carries. It’s a nightmare for Hampton managers because Seattle hasn’t allowed a rushing touchdown in three games. The volume will be there, as Hampton commands 61.7% of the rushing attempts, but it’s hard to see him finding the end zone.”

“I have been in many situations where people have told me that they have a “great” trade offer… newsflash: fantasy managers can be remarkably persuasive when they are trying to convince you that Omarion Hampton is definitely worth the Lions defense and Brandon Aubrey . Before you accept anything, ask yourself the same basic questions we have been asking all along: Will this player actually make my team better? Would I have to get rid of one of the only reliable players that I have?”

“Hampton is still considered a borderline top-five dynasty running back in the eyes of many. Definitely don’t sell him for any less than what he’s currently worth. In player-for-player deals, I’d be happy shipping Hampton off for guys like Drake London or George Pickens .”

“Still, Omarion Hampton is an RB2 right now. No, that’s not what his redraft price tag was, and his dynasty price tag could be quite high. That said, two games in, with a shoddy offensive line and seemingly no signs of a turnaround, some owners could be hesitant.”

“Omarion Hampton ‘s 8% TPRR is worrisome for anyone who had RB1 aspirations for him.”

“There are so many disappointments here; even Omarion Hampton ’s 23 carries can not get me excited with the fumbling problem.”
