STACKED’s take
Hampton's elite pre-injury metrics suggest RB1 with massive upside as McDaniel's bellcow in 2026.
Omarion Hampton's rookie season was derailed by an ankle injury in Week 5, but his pre-injury performance (Weeks 1-4) was elite. In that four-game sample, Hampton averaged 17 touches and 95 total yards as the RB13 in fantasy points per game, posting a 7.4% explosive run rate, 19% missed tackle rate, and 2.54 yards after contact per attempt. If he had maintained those rates for a full season, he would have ranked fourth, tenth, and eighth in those categories respectively (minimum 100 carries). The source projects him at RB12 (237.8 FPTS) versus his ECR of RB9 (-3 differential), but notes he should be a rock-solid RB1 with massive upside in 2026 as Mike McDaniel's possible bellcow. Hampton also contributed through the air in his first four games with 10.1% target share, 27.5 receiving yards per game, and 1.12 yards per route run, fitting McDaniel's scheme that ranked third, third, and seventh in target share to RBs over the last three seasons.
