Video: Omarion Hampton: 80% Workhorse or Committee Trap?
if he's going to be this 80% workhorse running back, then oh my god, like he is the answer for the dude we should be drafting in the Great Wall of RBs... Oh man, how'd Hampton only have 12 touches today? Oh, Kalen Ballage is mixing out on early downs. And oh, they have eight designed touches they want to get to Ke'Shawn Mitchell every single week. And oh yeah, Justin Herbert's also throwing the ball more than they're actually running it.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Hampton could be Great Wall value if he's a true workhorse, but committee risk remains.

If Hampton operates as an 80% workhorse running back for the Chargers, he becomes a high-value draft target in the mid-round tier ("Great Wall of RBs") with elite upside. However, his actual role remains uncertain due to committee competition: Kalen Ballage is mixing in on early downs, Ke'Shawn Mitchell has eight designed touches allocated per week, and Justin Herbert's passing-heavy offense (throwing more than running) limits overall running back volume. Ian Hartitz views Hampton's upside as viable despite these concerns but emphasizes the need for clarity on the Chargers' running back rotation before committing.
