Omarion Hampton Faces Minimal Competition After the NFL Draft

Sunday, April 26, 8:32 AM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton remains the clear-cut No. 1 option on the depth chart heading into May. The Chargers didn't select a running back in the 2026 NFL Draft, leaving Hampton in the lead-back role and Keaton Mitchell as his projected backup. Mitchell has flashed burst and productivity in the past, and he averages 6.34 yards per carry so far in his career. While his speed fits nicely in offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's system, he offers an occasional burst or big play, rather than every-down consistency. The every-down role should remain with Hampton, who averaged 60.6 rushing yards, 3.6 catches, 21.3 receiving yards, and 0.6 touchdowns per game while dodging injuries as a rookie last year. He remains the overall RB8 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Robbie Ouzts Being Converted To Fullback

Sunday, May 4, 1:08 PM

The Seattle Seahawks are converting rookie fifth-round tight end Robbie Ouzts to a 274-pound fullback as part of their vision for a more physical running game under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, according to ESPN's Brady Henderson. Ouzts will be competing with Brady Russell, who is also making the transition from tight end to fullback this offseason. He worked mostly as a blocker during his four-year college career at Alabama, so it should be a pretty natural transition for Ouzts in Seattle. Ouzts obviously won't be on the fantasy radar at all as a blocker if he's on the field regularly, but this news is good news for the Seahawks' ground attack and starting running back Kenneth Walker III and backup Zach Charbonnet. In 17 games last year, Seattle averaged just 95.7 rushing yards per game, which ranked as the fifth-fewest in the NFL.
