From the article

Hampton averaged 17.3 touches and 15.1 fantasy points per game as a rookie, but he appeared in only nine games. He excelled at generating yards after contact and forcing missed tackles, while catching 91.4% of his 35 targets. Now Mike McDaniel takes over the offense, the interior offensive line should be better and Hampton is projected to handle most of the backfield work.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Hampton's elite catch rate and McDaniel's track record suggest top-five RB upside.

Hampton averaged 17.3 touches and 15.1 fantasy points per game as a rookie in nine games, excelling at generating yards after contact and forcing missed tackles while catching 91.4% of his 35 targets. Now Mike McDaniel takes over the offense, the interior offensive line should be better and Hampton is projected to handle most of the backfield work. McDaniel helped De'Von Achane finish as a top-five fantasy back in consecutive seasons, so the source is willing to bet on Hampton taking a huge step forward in Year 2.
