STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Hampton's elite efficiency metrics and McDaniel's RB-friendly scheme project him as RB1 with massive upside.

In Weeks 1-4 of his rookie season before ankle injury, Hampton averaged 17 touches and 95 total yards as the RB13 in fantasy points per game. Over that span, he posted a 7.4% explosive run rate (would rank 4th among 100+ carry backs), 19% missed tackle rate (10th), and 2.54 yards after contact per attempt (8th). The source projects Hampton as a rock-solid RB1 with massive upside in 2026 as Mike McDaniel's possible bellcow, noting McDaniel's offenses ranked 3rd, 3rd, and 7th in target share to running backs over the last three seasons.
