Omarion Hampton is set to the Chargers RB1 in McDaniel's offense. The hope is that he stays healthy for an entire season en route to what could be one of the most-productive rushing seasons for a Chargers running back since Austin Ekeler had 1,677 yards from scrimmage and 18 total touchdowns during the 2022 season

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Hampton locked in as RB1; projected for elite rushing production under McDaniel.

Hampton is set to be the Chargers RB1 in Mike McDaniel's offense with the expectation he stays healthy for an entire season. The source projects he could have one of the most productive rushing seasons for a Chargers running back since Austin Ekeler's 1,677 yards from scrimmage and 18 total touchdowns in 2022. Hampton will lead the backfield in snaps, though the Chargers added depth with Keaton Mitchell and have Kimani Vidal available.
