The Los Angeles Chargers are placing rookie running back Omarion Hampton on injured reserve with an ankle injury he suffered in Week 5 (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Hampton has taken over the sole RB1 role following Najee Harris' Achilles tendon injury. He had played well, posting his first 100-yard game in Week 4 against the New York Giants, but this injury will sideline him for the next four games; he can return against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10. Running backs Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal should dominate the touches in the meantime, though that may mean very little in a pass-first offense.
