ESPN Fantasy Football on Omarion Hampton
From the article
Hampton is scoring 11.2 fantasy PPG, and we saw L.A. move to a true committee approach this past week in the loss to the Seahawks. Hampton managed to save his day with a late touchdown in that one, finishing with 13.3 points on 11 touches, but it was Keaton Mitchell who saw the most action (15 touches), with Kimani Vidal also getting in the mix (seven touches).
STACKED’s take
Hampton's nine-carry low and committee approach limit him to TD-dependent flex.
Hampton, who was positioned as the lead back in Mike McDaniel's offense heading into the season, is scoring just 11.2 fantasy PPG and the Chargers have shifted to a true committee approach. In the Week 4 loss to Seattle, Hampton managed 13.3 points on 11 touches with a late touchdown, but Keaton Mitchell saw the most action (15 touches) and Kimani Vidal also got involved (seven touches). Hampton's nine carries versus Seattle were a season low. The source understands the Chargers' personnel changes given their 0-4 start, but Hampton is averaging only 4.0 YPC this season and hasn't impacted the offense as a receiver (7.3 yards per game). With another tough matchup in Week 5 versus the Broncos, Hampton should be played only as a touchdown-dependent flex, and the backfield rotation could keep him there for a while.
