Omarion Hampton, the Los Angeles Chargers' 2025 first-round running back, enters the 2026 season as the lead option in a shared backfield that includes Keaton Mitchell and Kimani Vidal. Through four games, he has 59 carries for 238 yards and three rushing touchdowns while averaging 4.0 yards per attempt, though his snap share has fluctuated amid the team's 0-4 start. Offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel has reaffirmed confidence in Hampton without altering the depth chart, but the Chargers face a difficult schedule ahead of their Week 7 bye. Hampton's 2025 rookie campaign was limited to nine games by an ankle injury that landed him on injured reserve, and his efficiency plus goal-line opportunities will determine his full-season rushing touchdown total in a run-heavy scheme behind an improved offensive line.
