Omarion Hampton Scores In Return
3 months ago

Rookie running back Omarion Hampton returned from injured reserve for the Los Angeles Chargers and scored their only touchdown.

The Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 22-19 and Omarion Hampton provided a spark in his return from injured reserve. Hampton caught a touchdown pass early in the game, while also carrying 13 times for 56 yards.

 

Hampton did split the backfield evenly with Kimani Vidal, who had 14 carries for 44 yards and a big 60 yard catch on the first drive. Justin Herbert completed only 12 passes for just 139 yards, one score and one interception. Herbert did lead the team in rushing yards with 66 yards.

 

It was a good sign to see Hampton get as much work as he did in his return, expect Vidal to still have a role but both can be effective as a running back two or flex option for fantasy managers.
