Omarion Hampton - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Rushing totals continue to dip Hampton rushed seven times for 18 yards and caught all four of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 22-6 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact The Chargers continued to employ an ineffective backfield rotation, as Hampton got 11 touches compared to 10 for Kimani Vidal and two for Keaton Mitchell. None of the three running backs exceeded 3.0 yards per carry while QB Justin Herbert led the team with 26 rushing yards. Hampton has been trending in the wrong direction, with his rushing yardage dropping with each subsequent game since a 94-yard performance on the ground in Week 2 against the Raiders. He'll look to reverse that trend in Week 8 against the Rams following a Week 7 bye.

Musters 39 total yards in Week 5 Hampton turned 14 carries into 33 yards and one target into a six-yard catch during Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Hampton has found room to run in the Chargers' mostly stagnant offense difficult to come by so far this season, averaging 3.7 YPC through five games after going for 4.4 as a rookie in 2025. And on Sunday in particular, he had to contend with fellow RBs Kimani Vidal (nine touches) and Keaton Mitchell (six) mixing into the action a decent amount. Due to ceding those reps to his backfield mates, Hampton's weekly ceiling doesn't appear to be as high as it may have seemed heading into the campaign.

Scores third TD of season Hampton had nine carries for 45 yards and one touchdown and two catches (on two targets) for eight yards during Sunday's 30-23 loss at Seattle.

Impact Hampton failed to reach 10 rushes in a game for the first time in four opportunities this season, and he ceded a number of backfield reps to position mates Keaton Mitchell (15 touches, 63 yards and one TD) and Kimani Vidal (seven touches, 36 yards and one TD). It's unclear if the Chargers intend to keep up more of a timeshare between the trio moving forward, but Hampton's lack of targets (five) so far in 2026 inhibit his overall value if he isn't taking on a majority of the rushing workload. His next chance to take the field arrives next Sunday versus the Broncos.

Inefficient afternoon in loss Hampton rushed 15 times for 56 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Chargers' 24-16 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Impact The Chargers' No. 1 back got seven more carries than change-of-pace option Keaton Mitchell, but he was only able to outpace the latter by four yards. It was a disappointing downturn for Hampton, who'd broken out with 94 rushing yards and a touchdown while adding a 2-21-0 receiving line against the Raiders in Week 2. The Chargers are now alarmingly 0-3 heading into a daunting Week 4 road matchup against the Seahawks, but Hampton figures to remain in a clear-cut lead role for that contest.
