Hampton played just 58% of the offensive snaps while ceding 31% to Keaton Mitchell in a competitive game script. Mitchell operated as the primary third-down and two-minute back while Kimani Vidal took the lone goal line attempt. If that trend continues, Hampton will need to be extremely efficient on early downs to live up to his value. It's possible, but he was anything but efficient on Sunday, rushing 12 times for 43 yards and a touchdown.

Hampton's role unclear: 58% snaps, 12 carries for 43 yards; Mitchell handles third-down duties.

While it's too early for long-term assertions on Hampton's role in Mike McDaniel's offense, Week 1 raised red flags. Hampton played just 58% of offensive snaps while ceding 31% to Keaton Mitchell in a competitive game script. Mitchell operated as the primary third-down and two-minute back while Kimani Vidal took the lone goal line attempt. Hampton was inefficient on early downs, rushing 12 times for 43 yards and a touchdown (from eight yards out). If this trend continues, Hampton will need extreme efficiency to live up to his value, and the lack of receiving volume and goal line usage could limit his upside in a crowded backfield.
