From the article

With Tyler Biadasz, Rashawn Slater, and Joe Alt all sidelined by injuries, the Chargers started four rookie offensive linemen the last two weeks. Hampton's runs have been deemed a "rush success" 37 percent of the time so far, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. That figure was at 42 percent in 2025.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Hampton's breakout thesis undermined by offensive line injuries and declining efficiency.

Hampton was drafted as RB9 with the 15th pick overall based on expectations of a breakout in Mike McDaniel's wide-zone-heavy run scheme. However, the Chargers' offensive line has been decimated by injuries to Tyler Biadasz, Rashawn Slater, and Joe Alt, forcing them to start four rookie offensive linemen the last two weeks. Hampton's rush success rate is 37 percent so far versus 42 percent last year at this point. He currently sits at RB26 on a points-per-game basis. The source notes that cutting ties is becoming defensible in shallow or medium-sized leagues.
