Omarion Hampton stands out among 2026 fantasy football RB breakout candidates

As NFL training camps approach, Omarion Hampton of the Chargers emerges as a top fantasy football running back candidate for 2026. After an injury-plagued rookie season where he finished as the RB16 in per game scoring, Hampton returns to an improved Chargers offense under new coordinator Mike McDaniel. With key players back from injury and a revamped line, Hampton is projected for significant production, including over 1,200 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns. Other notable candidates include Cam Skattebo of the Giants, who looks to recover from a severe injury, and TreVeyon Henderson of the Patriots, set for increased responsibilities.
