You knew the moment the Chargers hired Harbaugh, who then installed Greg Roman as offensive coordinator, that the team was going to want to run the ball. They had limited resources a year ago, however, and ended up relying on oft-injured J.K. Dobbins and complementary back Gus Edwards, a tandem that ran for 1,270 yards and 13 TDs. Neither one will return in 2025, with the team set to turn primary duties over to Hampton, a first-round pick in April's draft.
Hampton has a good combination of power and speed, and he's a capable receiver out the backfield, making him a true every-down option as a rookie. Last year at the University of North Carolina he ranked third in the nation in rush yards after contact (1,026) and scored a combined 30 touchdowns over his final two collegiate campaigns. He'll have to compete with Najee Harris throughout the season, so there will likely be some ebb and flow to his production from week to week as Roman leans on the hot hand, but Hampton is the back you want for the long haul in 2025.
Unlike fellow rookie Ashton Jeanty, who looks like he'll step right in and be the focal point of the offense in Las Vegas, Hampton is paired with a high-level quarterback and capable backfield mate. Still, it's fair to expect more from Hampton than the team got from Dobbins in the lead role last year, and it doesn't hurt that he plays for a coach that wants to control games with power football. Hampton is a borderline top 20 fantasy back and low-end RB2 with some juice.

Mike McDaniel set to call plays for LAC in 2026
Former Miami HC set to become offensive coordinator in LA
By: Doug Orth | Tue Jan 20, 11:30 pm
| | Former Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel is expected to become the Chargers offensive coordinator barring a change of heart, per
@JeffDarlington and me. McDaniel has informed other teams that they’re out, the Chargers clearly want him, and the two sides are having dinner tonight. But the expectation across the league is that McDaniel will be staying in LA. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: It is hard to envision a scenario in which this potential hire is not good for Justin Herbert, Omarion Hampton and Oronde Gadsden II. McDaniel worked wonders with Tua Tagovailoa in Miami, helping him lead the league in passing yards one season (2023) and completion percentage in the next (2024). Herbert is much more gifted than Tagovailoa, so expect the quarterback to take a big step forward in 2026. As far as Hampton is concerned, he is much different than De'Von Achane, but Hampton showed enough in the passing game as a rookie to likely catch McDaniel's attention in that regard. Last but not least, McDaniel coaxed production out of Jonnu Smith and Darren Waller in recent years. One would have to think Gadsden will be a key paart of his offense as well.
|  Omarion Hampton listed as Questionable
Ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Jan 9, 2:10 pm
| | Omarion Hampton on if he expects to play Sunday: “Yeah, that’s the plan.” (Daniel Popper on X)
FFToday's Take: The Chargers starting running back missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday before getting a limited session in on Friday. It sounds like he's going to suit up on Sunday night against the Patriots. Hampton was Inactive in Week 18 and missed a big chunk of the season (Wks 6-14) with an ankle injury. There is risk of him being limited this week which would give a higher workload to Kimani Vidal.
