Latest takes
“In 2025, in Weeks 1-4, Hampton averaged 17 touches and 95 total yards as the RB13 in fantasy points per game. In that small sample of games, he posted a 7.4% explosive run rate, a 19% missed tackle rate, and 2.54 yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data).”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 15“Hampton is one of the few RBs going outside of the first round who could legitimately end up as the RB1 on the season with a potentially healthy offensive line in Los Angeles and the addition of new Offensive Coordinator Mike McDaniel.”
Kurt Mullen· Aug 14“Last year, Omarion Hampton ‘s rookie season was derailed by an ankle injury in Week 5.”

“32 receptions in 9 games on a 57% snap share The Omarion Hampton doubters , rebutted:”
The FF Newsletter· Aug 6“man - top 5 among power-conference WRs last year The case for Omarion Hampton as a late first-rounder:”
The FF Newsletter· Aug 6“The other AFC West breakout candidate at RB is Omarion Hampton .”
Jordan Pullett· Jul 29“Round 2: Omarion Hampton (RB – LAC) At the tail-end of the second round, I shored up my other running back slot with Omarion Hampton.”
Richard Janvrin· Jul 28“Hampton should be a rock-solid RB1 with massive upside in 2026.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 28“I have spent a lot of time pumping up Justin Herbert getting to play with Mike McDaniel , but there is no doubt that Omarion Hampton is going to see a huge spike.”
Rich Hribar· Jul 24“Hampton should be the biggest benefactor of the hire, as De'Von Achane was a fantasy superstar with McDaniel in Miami. More importantly, the second-year pro was outstanding as a rookie despite missing half the season with an injury, averaging 15.1 PPR fantasy points per game despite playing behind arguably the most injury-plagued offensive line.”
Mike Fanelli· Jul 8“In Year 2, Hampton will surely benefit from the arrival of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, a wizard at designing a run game. He'll get the bruising back into space, where Hampton can employ that 4.46 speed to zoom past defenders.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Jul 4“Omarion Hampton played only nine games as a rookie, but we got a glimpse of how good he can be. In those contests, he averaged 15.1 fantasy points per game (FPPG), good for RB12. He rushed for 545 yards and added another 192 through the air on 32 receptions.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Jul 4“Andrew Erickson expects a healthy Chargers offense and Mike McDaniel's arrival as offensive coordinator to unlock Hampton's ceiling. He highlighted McDaniel's history of involving running backs heavily in the passing game while also pointing to Justin Herbert's previous success targeting backs. Combined with Hampton's projected workload and favorable early schedule, Erickson believes he offers legitimate RB1 upside despite being drafted outside the first round.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 4“A healthier offensive line could help the team score touchdowns at a higher rate in the red zone, but so could better health from Omarion Hampton, who played in only nine games as a rookie.”
Josh Shepardson· Jul 1“Omarion Hampton and the Chargers are very much the target of offseason hype, and it's worth remembering there have been plenty of times in the past that the Chargers haven't paid off that hype.”
Tom Strachan· Jun 30
“I opted to go with Ashton Jeanty at the end of the first round. In hindsight, I may have done this slightly differently, opting for Brock Bowers as the piece of this Raiders offense.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 15“Ashton Jeanty (RB – LV) Going as the RB6, 10th overall, our analysts are genuinely split here. The projections point to a real season, but one that lands closer to a backend RB1 finish in the RB10 to 12 range rather than a true top-six overall running back. One analyst believes the jump required from last year’s disappointing rookie output to a true top-six finish is larger than the modest per-game increase the projections themselves show, driven mostly by added rushing volume rather than a big receiving-game jump.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 8“There is plenty of hope that the Raiders offense will be able to take a big step forward this season with a complete overhaul of their coaching staff after being the worst team in the league in 2025. Even with a bad offense, Jeanty was still productive for fantasy rosters, though he could not return his high draft price.”

“I was not burned on Ashton Jeanty last season as BEAST DOME ranked him lower than any site last season, but he was so awful last year I could not imagine spending a 1st or 2nd Round pick on a guy who played like an RB3 at best in 2025.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 7“I nearly clicked Zay Flowers with my second pick, and probably should have because he is in line for a huge 2026, but I instead grabbed my first running back in Ashton Jeanty, who should benefit from an upgraded offensive line and an offense-minded head coach in Klint Kubiak.”
Kurt Blakeway· Aug 7“Ashton Jeanty (RB – LV) I could not have been more hyped for Ashton Jeanty heading into the 2025 season”
Ryan Kirksey· Aug 6“With Klint Kubiak in town, Fernando Mendoza or Kirk Cousins at the helm, a healthy Brock Bowers , and improved blocking up front, Jeanty could be poised to post a strong RB1 season in his second season.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 28“Ashton Jeanty had 100% of the backfield rushes from inside of the 5-yard line as a rookie, but he only had 9 rushes from that area of the field.”
Rich Hribar· Jul 24“Ashton Jeanty will be seen as a disappointment for fantasy managers exiting his rookie season. It wasn’t a failure, but you can make the argument that, because of his talent and the hype, it didn’t live up to lofty expectations. Jeanty was the RB15 in fantasy points per game, finishing with 321 touches and 1,321 total yards.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 22“Ashton Jeanty is entering his sophomore season with an improved situation. First and foremost, the Raiders hired Klint Kubiak as head coach, giving them one of the best play-callers in the NFL.”
Frank Ammirante· Jul 17“Last season, Jeanty was fifth in snap share at running back and first in backfield opportunity shares. If this usage continues, all we need is for the offense to take a step forward to have a huge season.”
Ellis Johnson· Jul 17“He now has a new head coach in Klint Kubiak, one of the rising offensive minds in the NFL. More importantly, the Raiders also bolstered the offensive line by adding All-Pro Tyler Linderbaum (BAL). If Jeanty was able to produce average numbers in a dysfunctional offense, he should be capable of producing above-average numbers in a functional one.”
Jonathan Lange· Jul 10“Ashton Jeanty may be the player I'm most excited to see on the field again. Jeanty was a can't-miss prospect who had a tumultuous first season. Despite the circumstances, Jeanty still finished as a high-end RB2, averaging 14 FPPG.”
Jonathan Lange· Jul 10“Ashton Jeanty will be seen as a disappointment for fantasy managers exiting his rookie season. The ecosystem surrounding Jeanty stunk. The Raiders were 31st in red zone scoring attempts per game and 30th in yards per play.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 9“Last season, Ashton Jeanty eventually finished as the RB12, but he started slowly and, after the first three weeks, was the RB33.”
