Hampton's healthy return with McDaniel's scheme and cleaner backfield sets up RB1 upside.

Hampton was a first-round pick in 2025 but finished 15th in fantasy points per game while missing eight games due to injuries and poor offensive line play. For 2026, his situation has transformed dramatically: he is healthy, Mike McDaniel is now running the Chargers offense, and Hampton enters as the clear lead back with Keaton Mitchell injured and Kimani Vidal as the only other option. McDaniel's scheme creates an intriguing fit for Hampton's size, explosiveness, and receiving ability—he turned De'Von Achane into a top-10 running back in back-to-back seasons. If Hampton receives base work, passing work, and goal-line carries, top-10 upside is within reach for the talented second-year player.
