Much of that excitement involves McDaniel's plans for second-year RB Omarion Hampton. Hampton's rookie season was tantalizing but incomplete. He fractured his ankle in Week 5 and didn't return until Week 14. But just before the injury, Hampton had 19-70-1 rushing and 6-59-0 receiving against the tough Denver defense in Week 3, then steamrolled the Giants to the tune of 12-128-1 rushing and 5-37-0 receiving in Week 4.

Positive signalRole

McDaniel's Achane track record fuels Hampton upside despite backfield depth.

Second-year RB under new Chargers OC Mike McDaniel, who previously engineered elite production from De'Von Achane (5.6 yards per carry, 35 TDs in 44 games, 78 and 67 catches in seasons). Hampton showed tantalizing early-season form before ankle fracture in Week 5 (19-70-1 rushing, 6-59-0 receiving vs. Denver in Week 3; 12-128-1 rushing, 5-37-0 receiving vs. Giants in Week 4), then scored three TDs in four games upon return and had eight-catch performance vs. Texans. Concerns: Keaton Mitchell added in offseason and Kimani Vidal performed well during Hampton's absence. Week 1 vs. Cardinals in run-friendly matchup should clarify usage.
