Omarion Hampton Is a Breakout Bet, Not a Bargain

Friday, July 24, 11:32 AM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton turned nine rookie games into 737 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns, enough to keep the breakout buzz alive after two ankle injuries disrupted his season. He averaged 4.4 yards per carry and caught 32 passes, so the appeal is not tied only to early-down volume. The runway also looks cleaner in Year 2. Keaton Mitchell and Kimani Vidal are the main backs behind him, while Mike McDaniel is moving the offense toward an outside-zone scheme. The fit is exciting. The price has already caught up. RotoBaller ranks Hampton 21st overall in dynasty and 19th in PPR redraft, where he is the RB11. Managers are paying for a healthy season and a larger workload, not finding a hidden sleeper. The ankle history keeps him from being risk-free, but Round 2 remains a fair place to bet on the breakout.

Jadarian Price Seeing Heavy Workload in Seahawks Camp

Sunday, July 26, 6:47 PM

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price is seeing a heavy workload in training camp practices so far, per Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune. The 32nd overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Price could be in line for a significant role in the Seahawks' offense right away. Seattle lost star running back Kenneth Walker III to the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency, and the status of steady veteran back Zach Charbonnet (knee) for the start of the regular season is unknown as he works his way back from the torn ACL he suffered in January. Seattle signed former Green Bay Packers backup running back Emanuel Wilson in free agency to supply some depth to its backfield. Still, Price could open his rookie season as the Seahawks' clear RB1. RotoBaller currently ranks him as the RB26 for redraft leagues.
