Omarion Hampton, the Los Angeles Chargers' lead running back, has rushed for three touchdowns through five games in 2026 while averaging 3.7 yards per carry on 59-73 attempts. The Chargers' 0-5 start and stagnant offense under new coordinator Mike McDaniel have limited scoring opportunities, with Hampton sharing carries and snaps with Kimani Vidal and Keaton Mitchell. Recent comments from McDaniel affirm no change to the depth chart or faith in Hampton, though a committee approach has reduced his workload in the past two weeks. His 2025 rookie season featured multiple ankle injuries, raising durability questions for a 17-game slate that includes a tough Week 6 matchup at Kansas City. Hampton's efficiency, backfield competition, and the team's overall run-game production will shape his final rushing touchdown total.
