Omarion Hampton Week 5 Outlook - Broncos at Chargers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 8th 2026, 1:35pm EDT

Last week, the Chargers backfield became a disgusting three-way committee. Hampton was third among the backs in snaps with 32.4%, second in rushing share (28.1%), and third in route share (24.4%). Hampton finished with 11 touches and 53 total yards. It was his lowest touch count of the season. Every week feels like a new frustrating low for Hampton as Mike McDaniel continues to do goofy stuff. The most frustrating part about all of it is that Hampton hasn't been bad when he has carried the rock. Among 46 qualifying rushers, he ranks 18th in explosive run rate and eighth in yards after contact per attempt. If they give Hampton more volume this week, behind a degraded offensive line, he could still have a nice day (possibly). Denver hasn't been able to stop anyone on the ground. The Broncos have allowed the fifth-highest explosive run rate, the second-most yards after contact per attempt, and the highest missed tackle rate.
