RB Omarion Hampton led the Chargers in carries (15) and rushing yards (61) in Sunday's win over the Chiefs. He edged Kimani Vidal by three carries and matched his one target. But Hampton also trailed Vidal in playing time for the second straight week, powered by the Chargers favoring Vidal in passing situations. L.A. remained basically even in pass-run split, with 33 dropbacks vs. 29 designed run plays vs. Kansas City.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton ran for 56 yards and caught the team's lone TD in his return Monday night from an ankle injury that had sidelined him since Week 5. Hampton rushed 13 times vs. 14 for Kimani Vidal, who officially got the start. Hampton also edged Vidal 2-1 in catches, though Vidal led the backfield in targets and routes. His 23 routes marked a 56% rate vs. total Chargers dropbacks and beat Hampton by 15. Vidal took his lone catch for 60 yards and gained 44 yards on his 14 rushes (3.1 per carry).

The Chargers on Monday activated RB Omarion Hampton from IR. That clears the way for him to play tonight against the Eagles. It would be his first action since a Week 5 ankle injury.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Eagles. He was a full participant in Friday and Saturday's practices, though, and both ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and insider Jordan Schultz report that Hampton is expected back for this one. It'll be his first action since Week 5, so don't expect to see him in a workhorse role. We'll look for any hints on how work will be divvied between Hampton and RB Kimani Vidal. Hampton currently sits 20th in the Week 14 RB rankings.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) was upgraded to full participation in Friday's practice. That should put him on track to return for Monday night's game vs. the Eagles. We'll see how Hampton is listed on Saturday's final injury report and look for any details on how much volume he'll get in his first action since Week 5. Hampton got a matchup upgrade with DL Jalen Carter out for Monday night's game.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice. He wore a yellow no-contact jersey, according to ESPN's Kris Rhim. We're currently projecting Hampton to return for Monday night's game vs. the Eagles, but it's certainly not a lock. We'll keep you updated on his status over the next few days.

Chargers RB Kimani Vidal racked up 126 yards and a TD on 25 carries in Sunday's win over the Raiders. That beat his season high for yardage by 2 and matched his season high in carries, set two games prior. Vidal added 1 catch for 11 yards.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. He returned to limited practices this week but isn’t quite ready for game action yet. “It was a good week,” HC Jim Harbaugh said Friday. “Really beneficial, ramping up. Everything’s on track to return, not this week.” RB Kimani Vidal is the only healthy RB on Los Angeles’s active roster right now, with RBs Jaret Patterson, Amar Johnson, and Trayveon Williams on the practice squad. We’ll see which of those guys are elevated on Saturday afternoon, but Vidal is in for strong volume in a good spot against the Raiders’ 25th-ranked RB defense.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton revealed Wednesday that he fractured his left ankle in Week 5. The details of Hampton's injury hadn't previously been disclosed, but it now makes sense that he wound up missing nearly two months. The rookie said he feels "amazing" now and hopes to return for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. We'll keep an eye on his status over the next few days and see if the Chargers activate him from IR before Saturday's 4 pm ET deadline.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. We're tentatively expecting the rookie to return for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders, but it's not a lock. We'll keep an eye on Hampton's status over the next few days.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) has been designated to return from IR and was on the practice field on Tuesday. Week 13 has looked like the target for Hampton's return for a while now, and he's seemingly on track to play vs. the Raiders this weekend. We'll keep you posted on the rookie's status throughout the week. He ranked 19th among RBs in PPR points through Week 4 and finished as a top-7 PPR RB in both of his last two healthy games. Hampton has a chance to flirt with RB1 production the rest of the way, although the Chargers' injury-wrecked offensive line is a concern.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) is eligible to come off IR this week, but HC John Harbaugh said Monday that he doesn't expect the rookie back until after the Week 12 bye. It's not a major surprise considering Hampton was still in a walking boot about a week-and-a-half ago. He's worth keeping stashed in all fantasy leagues, but Hampton owners should be prepared to be without him for another three weeks. RB Kimani Vidal again operated as Los Angeles' lead back in the Week 9 win over the Titans but busted with just 30 yards on 12 carries. RB Jaret Patterson notably out-snapped Vidal 11 to six in the fourth quarter, finishing with nine carries for 44 yards. Vidal remains the best fantasy bet in this backfield for Week 10, but the situation is a bit more volatile now than it was a couple of days ago.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) was still in a walking boot on Thursday night, according to The Athletic's Daniel Popper. Hampton is eligible to come off IR for Week 10, but he seems unlikely to be ready by then. And that's not a surprise after NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported a couple of weeks ago that Hampton would likely miss more than the required four weeks. At this point, it seems more likely than not that Hampton is sidelined through the Chargers' Week 12 bye. The rookie remains worth stashing in all fantasy leagues, but expect RB Kimani Vidal to get a few more games as lead back.

Chargers RB Kimani Vidal went over 100 rushing yards in Week 7 for the second time in his last three games. The first came against a Dolphins run defense that gets smoked every week. Vidal's 117-yard outing vs. the Vikings on Thursday night was more impressive. He was largely bottled up in the first half, mustering just 24 yards on 11 carries -- although one of those went for a three-yard score. Vidal got rolling in the second half, though, with the Chargers nursing a big lead and Minnesota's defense not looking particularly interested in tackling. Vidal carried another 12 times for 93 yards over the final 30 minutes, including four runs of 10+ yards.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) is out at least the next four weeks on IR. But NFL Network's Mike Garafolo hears that the rookie will "likely" miss more time than that. "It's not a season-ending injury," Garafolo adds. The Chargers have a bye in Week 12 (six weeks from now), so it's possible that we don't see Hampton again until Week 13. Garafolo also reports that the Chargers have been calling around about potential trades for a RB. We'll see where that goes. And we'll see what this backfield looks like today with Hassan Haskins, Kimani Vidal, and Nyheim Hines.
