he's also turned the ball over twice in as many games...Each of Hampton's fumbles came when the Chargers were within one score coming off a great defensive stop...A touchdown on this drive, if the Chargers ate the clock behind Hampton, would have given them a 4-point lead and dumped all the pressure on Cousins and the Raiders to find the end zone with very little time remaining. It's not just that the Chargers are turning the ball over in general, but also how and when they're doing it.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Hampton's two fumbles in close games undermine his elite production pace.

Hampton has turned the ball over twice in as many games, with both fumbles occurring in critical moments when the Chargers were within one score coming off defensive stops. Most damaging: a fumble with 3:52 remaining in regulation while down only 3 points and marching across midfield—a touchdown would have given the Chargers a 4-point lead. The source emphasizes this is inexcusable for a first-round pick built to be a workhorse back.
