Omarion Hampton isn't the cheapest option, but I think he's the best value at RB. Last year, everything that could go wrong in Los Angeles did. Injuries crushed the Chargers. Hampton had his own injury issues. Fortunately, he and his teammates (offensive tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt) are healthy now. I expect Hampton to be one of the few bell-cow RBs in the league.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Hampton's RB10 ranking undervalues his bell-cow role and McDaniel's track record with lead backs.

Hampton is ranked RB10 in half-PPR ECR and represents the best RB value according to one source. He and his teammates (offensive tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt) are now healthy after injury-plagued 2025. Hampton should be one of the few bell-cow RBs in the league, producing an incredibly high fantasy ceiling. The Chargers should put up plenty of points this season. Another source argues Hampton is not being drafted near his ceiling; Keaton Mitchell is a change-of-pace weapon with scripted touches, not a meaningful workload threat. Hampton averaged a 79% snap share in his three healthy games without Najee Harris while scoring 21+ fantasy points twice. With 300+ touches behind an improved offensive line anchored by Slater and Joe Alt in Mike McDaniel's offense (where the lead back has finished top-5 in three straight seasons), an overall RB1 finish is well within his range of outcomes.
