Omarion Hampton News
Wednesday, August 19, 6:37 AM
The Los Angeles Chargers hosted the San Francisco 49ers for a joint practice on Tuesday, and the loudest ovation of the day came on a tone-setting run from second-year running back Omarion Hampton. Reportedly welcoming contact all day, Hampton drew the attention of onlookers and teammates alike by plowing through 49ers safety Ji'Ayir Brown during a full-team drill, later earning the praise of quarterback Justin Herbert. "He's incredibly tough. He leads by example and doesn't say much, but what he does on the field is so loud," Herbert told reporters after practice. "Guys respect him and it's so cool to hand him the ball and see what he's able to do. He's an incredible athlete, incredible competitor and I'm glad he's on my side of the ball." Hampton missed eight games as a rookie with an ankle injury, but a popular breakout candidate in a revamped Chargers offense, he is RotoBaller's RB11 in 2026.

Jadarian Price News
Monday, August 17, 2:48 PM
Seattle Seahawks rookie first-round running back Jadarian Price (lower body) was back at training camp practice on Monday and took most of the reps, according to Seahawks reporter Brian Nemhauser. It was a non-contact session for the Seahawks on Monday, but it is still progress for the 22-year-old, who should be fully ready for the start of the 2026 regular season in early September. After being rested in the preseason opener on Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys, Price could be cleared to get some work this Sunday in the second preseason contest against the Tennessee Titans. Zach Charbonnet (knee) is not going to be ready for the start of the regular season, which puts Price in position to be a key contributor in Seattle's backfield right away. George Holani will also have a role, but Price's explosiveness and big-play ability should make him the more attractive short- and long-term fantasy option at the RB position. It might be tough for Price to carve out a big pass-catching role, but with enough early down work, he should be a nice low-end RB2/high-end RB3/flex target in upcoming fantasy drafts.
