Omarion Hampton

Last week, with Kimani Vidal injured, Omarion Hampton saw his snap rate increase to 53.2% with a 33% route share and a 6.9% target share. Hampton finished with 17 touches and 95 total yards. Since his Week 14 return, Hampton has averaged 16 touches and 75.6 total yards. Since Week 14, Hampton has generated a wonderful 9.1% explosive run rate, but he has only had a 14% missed tackle rate and 1.50 yards after contact per attempt. With many runs, unless he can find daylight, he's simply getting what is blocked. Hampton could produce as a solid RB2 this week despite the tough matchup with his volume and touchdown equity in the offense. Since Week 12, Houston has allowed the 14th-fewest rushing yards per game, the eighth-lowest explosive run rate, and the fourth-lowest missed tackle rate.

Omarion Hampton ran for 85 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries in the Chargers 34-17 win over the Cowboys. He also caught 1-of-2 targets for 10 yards receiving.

Fantasy Impact

Hampton saw 16 carries to just five for Kimani Vidal, who left early with a neck injury. He will be a volume-based RB2 in a tough matchup next week against the Texans.
