The Chargers will be without rookie running back Omarion Hampton due to an ankle injury. This will be a minimum of 4 missed games with the possibility of more.

The move comes at a difficult time both for the Chargers and fantasy managers alike. In a season barraged by injury, Hamton’s in the latest blow to those rostering him.  The Chargers will work to replace him with a mix of veteran Hassan Haskins and 2nd year back Kimani Vidal.

Hampton is 4th in running back receptions (20) and his 15.4 fantasy points per game ranks No.14. Much like the quandary presented by the Cardinals backfield in losing Trey Benson, the clear lead back for the Chargers may be murky. It is best to roster one or both of Haskins and Vidal until clarity shows on gamedays.
