From the episode

I think Harbaugh likes Omarian Hampton. I think McDaniel doesn't. McDaniel does not. It is clear. I mean, one game with 20 touches, you could scheme touches. That's a coaching thing.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

McDaniel's clear preference for Vidal and Mitchell over Hampton signals fade.

Offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel does not favor Omarian Hampton the way he favors Kamani Vidal and Keaton Mitchell. Despite one game with 20 touches (a coaching/game-plan decision), McDaniel's preference for the other running backs is clear. This is described as a recipe for a very difficult fantasy season.
