Yahoo Sports NFL on Omarion Hampton
From the article
In his sophomore season, he should be running behind a far better line and playing for an offensive coordinator with a history of coaching running backs to breakout seasons. Look what De'Von Achane did under McDaniel in Miami, where he ran for 1,350 yards and caught 67 passes last season. If Hampton can come close to that, he'll be a popular fantasy pickup.
STACKED’s take
Hampton poised for breakout under McDaniel; healthy line and coordinator history suggest Achane-like upside.
Rookie running back Omarion Hampton, the 2025 first-round pick from North Carolina, had an incomplete 2025 season after a strong start (128-yard rushing performance at the Giants in Week 4) before sustaining a fractured ankle that sidelined him for two months. In his sophomore season, he should be running behind a far better offensive line and playing for offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, who has a history of coaching running backs to breakout seasons. The source cites De'Von Achane's 2025 production under McDaniel in Miami (1,350 rushing yards and 67 receptions) as a comparable outcome, noting: "If Hampton can come close to that, he'll be a popular fantasy pickup."
