Hampton lands in a Chargers run-first system with a zone-based scheme that suits his college profile. If he seizes the opportunity and Harris remains healthy, he could quickly become a featured option in both the ground game and as a receiver.

Hampton, Chargers rookie RB, flashed burst in limited preseason touches and is rising on draft boards as a potential late-season breakout behind a still-unclear RB room. His speed and contact balance give him an upside ceiling in dynasty and DFS-lite formats, especially if the Chargers manage the split and usage with the injury uncertainty around veteran backs.

Hampton arrives in a Chargers backfield ready to absorb volume if Herbert’s rushing game support solidifies. His college pedigree and contact-balance profile align with a bull-carry role, while his pass-catching chops give him a practical PPR floor as the offense leans into multi-back concepts.

Hampton rises as a likely lead back option in LA, with a path to early-down duties and goal-line touches if his preseason usage translates. The backfield in LA is shifting to add versatility; Hampton’s workload could grow, potentially launching him into RB2 territory with top-12 upside if the Chargers commit to a true feature role.

ADP surge for Hampton seems aggressive given Najee Harris’ return, shared backfield, and uncertain Chargers run volume. If LA leans pass-heavy or Harris regains lead duties, Hampton’s touches may dwindle. Expect a committee environment and potential early-season volatility with limited week-to-week reliability.
