Hampton projects as rock-solid RB1 with massive upside under McDaniel's scheme.

Hampton's 2025 rookie season was derailed by an ankle injury in Week 5; his post-Week 4 performance should be disregarded. In Weeks 1-4, he averaged 17 touches and 95 total yards as RB13 in fantasy points per game, posting 7.4% explosive run rate, 19% missed tackle rate, and 2.54 yards after contact per attempt—metrics that would have ranked fourth, tenth, and eighth respectively among backs with 100+ carries. He also contributed through the air with 10.1% target share, 27.5 receiving yards per game, and 1.12 yards per route run. Under Mike McDaniel, who has designed offenses ranking third, third, and seventh in running back target share over the last three seasons, Hampton should be a rock-solid RB1 with massive upside in 2026.
