He ranked 15th in rush yards over expected per carry and 10th in yards after contact per attempt. The big issue was that he missed time and then the Chargers scaled back his role once healthy. Hampton is not the type of back you draft in the first round just to put in a committee. He cleared an 80 percent backfield dominator in both of his seasons as a starting running back at North Carolina.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Hampton's elite college dominator rate and rookie efficiency suggest second-round league-winner upside.

Hampton ranked 15th in rush yards over expected per carry and 10th in yards after contact per attempt as a rookie, showing surprising efficiency despite lacking fantasy totals. He cleared an 80 percent backfield dominator in both seasons as a starting running back at North Carolina (Ashton Jeanty peaked at 79 percent; Jeremiyah Love's best was 64 percent). JJ Zachariason frames Hampton as one of the best second-round bets to be a HeroRB anchor, capable of flipping the fantasy landscape on its head, though the Chargers scaled back his role once healthy after he missed time.
