Outlook Omarion Hampton
Year Two Breakout Imminent as Elite Workhorse Role Awaits
Heading into his second year, Omarion Hampton is primed for a massive breakout as the clear lead back in the Chargers' offense under coordinator Mike McDaniel. McDaniel has already compared Hampton to Hall of Famer Terrell Davis, signaling immense confidence in his skill set. Backed by an offense expected to highly feature running backs, Hampton looks to dominate touches in Los Angeles.
Our projections are heavily aligned with this optimistic outlook, slating Hampton for 229 rush attempts, 1,033 rushing yards, and 9 touchdowns, alongside 51 receptions on 64 targets. This dual-threat capability makes him a high-end RB1 in PPR leagues. He sits securely atop the depth chart, positioned to lead a backfield that includes Keaton Mitchell and Kimani Vidal.
This buzz has caused Hampton's ADP to rise significantly over the past month, climbing from around pick 20 in mid-May to a premium 15th overall spot. Despite the escalating draft cost, our models view him as an outstanding value anchor. His current 80 percent start rate highlights the growing trust managers have in his Year 2 progression.

Outlook Woody Marks
Shifting Workload Casts Value Uncertainty on Houston's Premium Backup
Woody Marks enters his second year operating behind lead back David Montgomery on Houston's depth chart. While Marks handled a substantial workload in 2025 with 212 carries, our models project a regression to 126 rushing attempts and 514 yards as Montgomery anchors the ground game.
In the passing game, Marks remains a capable outlet. We project 23 receptions on 26 targets for 182 yards, highlighting his utility in PPR formats. However, his limited projected scoring output of just four total touchdowns caps his weekly ceiling.
Fantasy managers have noticed this shifting committee. His ADP peaked near 124 in late May but has slid to 135, mirroring a drop in his fantasy ownership from 87% to 80%. At this price, he is a premium insurance policy rather than a standalone starter.
