Los Angeles Chargers first-round draft choice Omarion Hampton (North Carolina) signed a four-year contract with a reported $17.77 million - including a $9.56 million signing bonus - on Monday, May 19. The deal also includes a fifth-year team option.
Huddle Up: The Chargers will have the luxury of easing Hampton into things as a rookie after signing Najee Harris in free agency. With that said, expect Hampton to begin the season in a timeshare with Harris at the very least and overtake him as a starter by midseason at the latest. The No. 22 overall pick is a great fit in offensive coordinator Greg Roman's power-running scheme and should be considered as one of the highest available upside players in redraft leagues this year. He is already well inside the top 10 dynasty running back options.

Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton offers "considerably more juice" than veteran RB Najee Harris and has the potential to be the full-time No. 1 back as a rookie, in the opinion of The Athletic's Daniel Popper, who adds that Hampton can "change the identity" of LA's offense.
Huddle Up: I know Jim Harbaugh wants to run the ball. You know Jim Harbaugh wants to run the ball. Everyone knows Jim Harbaugh wants to run the ball. Considering what the Bolts were able to wring out of perpetually injured JK Dobbins last year, the prospect of Hampton operating in that offense is tantalizing. Yes, Harris is there, but he's on a one-year deal and is more of a power back with limited explosiveness. We'll see how things shake out during training camp and preseason, but for now Hampton offers considerably more upside and might be worth targeting as an RB3 with top-20 potential.

North Carolina RB Omarion Hampton was selected by the Los Angeles Chargers with the 22nd overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: Hampton likely will share playing time with Najee Harris this season but both likely will see a good amount of touches. Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation to have a better idea of his role in 2025. He can be at least a flex option in leagues if he sees solid playing time.

The source predicts the Pittsburgh Steelers could take Hampton, should he be available at No. 21 overall.
