Omarion Hampton Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

The Chargers drafted North Carolina RB Omarion Hampton 22nd overall to be their future bell cow. For 2025, Hampton will likely split work with Najee Harris. However, the recent news of Harris suffering an eye injury could create more opportunities for the rookie during training camp. It was never a matter of if Hampton would become LA's RB1 in a run-heavy Greg Roman offense, just a matter of when. With his path looking clearer, the UNC product is worth the early investment with real-life Round 1 draft capital, explosiveness and three-down ability. RBs of recent note that were drafted Day 1 who also averaged 30 receiving yards in their final college seasons: Saquon Barkley, Najee Harris, Travis Etienne Jr., Jahmyr Gibbs and Omarion Hampton.
