Link to story Chargers | Omarion Hampton scores in his return Tue Dec 9, 02:17 AM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) had 13 carries for 56 yards against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14. Hampton also had two receptions, 11 yards, and a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: With Hampton back for the first time since Week 5, he and Kimani Vidal shared the workload, and both delivered. On the opening drive, they combined for 78 yards, capped off by a 4-yard receiving touchdown by Hampton. Their workload was similar -- Hampton with 13 carries and Vidal with 14 -- and both finished in RB2 territory. Low-end RB2 to flex outcomes seem like reasonable starting points for expectations here, but as ESPN.com's Kris Rhim suggested, the coming weeks will determine whether this is a timeshare or if Hampton will return to a featured role. |
Chargers | Kimani Vidal tops 100 yards again Tue Dec 9, 02:05 AM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Kimani Vidal carried the ball 14 times for 44 yards against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14. He also had a 60-yard reception.
Link to story Chargers | Justin Herbert impresses more with toughness than fantasy output vs. Eagles Tue Dec 9, 01:48 AM
One week after undergoing surgery for a fracture in his left hand, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert rushed for the third-most yards in his career, stiff-arming the Eagles in a 22-19 overtime win Monday night that prompted L.A. coach Jim Harbaugh to call him a "superhero."
| Footballguys view: Herbert's stats weren't that impressive: 139 passing yards, the sixth-fewest of his six-year NFL career, on a career-worst 46 percent completion rate. None of it mattered. What did matter was his playmaking, especially on the ground. He ran for a team-high 66 yards on 10 carries and produced three first downs on scrambles, giving him 18 for the season. That's fourth most in the NFL after Patrick Mahomes (24), Baker Mayfield (20), and Drake Maye (20). Herbert's 18 first downs on scrambles were also his most in any season. Herbert finished the week as QB17 with 14.2 fantasy points. |

Link to story Chargers | Omarion Hampton activated off IR; expected to play vs. Eagles Mon Dec 8, 04:07 PM
Now official: Chargers RB Omarion Hampton, who has been out since fracturing his ankle in week 5 against Washington, has been activated off injured reserve and is expected to play tonight vs. the Eagles.
| Footballguys view: That's been the expectation since he worked fully in practice late last week. Hampton has been sidelined since suffering an ankle fracture in Week 5, but was off to a stellar start with 450 total yards and three touchdowns on 4.8 YPC. He also contributed to the passing attack as a receiver. It's reasonable to believe he'll give way to Kimani Vidal on occasion in his first game back, but Hampton is a solid RB2 play going up against an Eagles defense that will be without Jalen Carter. |

Chargers | Omarion Hampton on track for Week 14 Sat Dec 6, 02:19 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) is expected to play in the Week 14 game, a source told ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Chargers here. They've been getting by with Kimani Vidal and Jaret Patterson on the ground, but Hampton is an upgrade. The 2025 first-round pick has talent, but he has been injured since Week 5. Now he's back for a Monday night game against an Eagles defense that was gashed on the ground by the Bears in Week 13. That makes Hampton an RB2 option, but know he may be on a snap count in his first game back. |
Chargers | Bolts remain hopeful that Justin Herbert will play Sat Dec 6, 10:11 AM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) has not taken any snaps under center during practice this week, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh, who added that he has been participating in 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills. Harbaugh remains optimistic that Herbert will be able to play in Week 14's game versus the Philadelphia Eagles.
| Footballguys view: This team would look a lot different (and clearly not as good) with Trey Lance in place of Herbert. The game is Monday night, and the Eagles can be gashed on the ground. Harbaugh loves to run the ball, and 2025 first-round pick Omarion Hampton is back this week. That means the Chargers may be planning to run early and often. This gameplan limits the fantasy potential of Herbert, making him more of a QB2 for Fantasy GMs in Week 14. |

Chargers | Justin Herbert limited again in practice Fri Dec 5, 06:11 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) was listed as a limited participant in practice for the second consecutive day Friday, Dec. 5.
| Footballguys view: Jim Harbaugh has maintained steady optimism that Herbert will be ready to go on Monday night. Given the schedule, his uncertainty could put fantasy managers in a bind. Frankly, Herbert's production hasn't been great lately, as he's played through injuries and without his bookend tackles. He makes for a shaky QB2 this week, and you can hopefully find a better option on Sunday. In a deep-league desperation move, Herbert managers could pick up Trey Lance as a last-minute pivot option. |

Chargers | Omarion Hampton practices in full Fri Dec 5, 06:08 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) was able to practice in full on Friday, Dec. 5.
| Footballguys view: Hampton will have another chance to log a full practice tomorrow, but all signs point to him making his return after suffering a broken ankle in Week 5. Hampton was on fire before his injury. Since he's been out, though, Kimani Vidal has found a rhythm. Hampton should take over lead duties, but Vidal will likely be more involved than he was earlier in the year. Hampton should be eased into after an extended absence, making him a back-end RB2 if active. |

Chargers | Omarion Hampton expected back for Week 14 Tue Dec 2, 01:54 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) is expected to play in Week 14.
| Footballguys view: While he wasn't activated against the Raiders, Hampton, who has missed the last seven games with an ankle injury, practiced on a limited basis all last week. Local observers have pointed out that a return this week falls in line with what the Chargers have done with players returning from IR during the season in terms of giving them a ramp-up week. Luckily, RB Kimani Vidal was explosive against the Raiders in Hampton's absence with 25 carries for 126 yards and a touchdown. How robust a workload Hampton handles is unclear, but a split with Vidal seems likely. |
Chargers | Justin Herbert's surgery a success Tue Dec 2, 01:58 AM
Justin Herbert underwent successful surgery today in Los Angeles to stabilize a fracture in his left hand. Herbert's return to play is considered day-to-day, and his status for next Monday's game against Philadelphia will be determined later in the week.
| Footballguys view: According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, the next few days will give the Chargers a read on whether Herbert has a legit shot of playing Monday against the Eagles. There's optimism, but he has to show progress when they get back to work. Stay tuned. |

Chargers | Justin Herbert optimistic about Week 14 Mon Dec 1, 03:23 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) is scheduled to undergo a procedure on his fractured hand Monday, Dec. 1, but believes he will have a chance to play in the Week 14 game, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: As Footballguy injury analyst Adam Hutchison noted, there is a reasonable chance Herbert has it right, and that he'll be able to play against the Eagles. Because the injury is to his non-throwing hand, it won't directly impact his passing mechanics, though it could affect ball security. Hutchison, however, currently projects Herbert to miss one week, as post-surgical swelling or inflammation may limit him. Still, with a Monday night kickoff and with Herbert certain to be pushing hard to play, this is one we'll be watching closely. |

Chargers | Justin Herbert expects to play in Week 14, despite coming surgery Sun Nov 30, 09:47 PM
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert suffered a break in his left hand on Sunday that will require surgery during his team's 31-14 win over the Raiders. The procedure is scheduled to occur on Monday, and Herbert expects to play in the Chargers' next game, against the Eagles in Week 14 on Monday Night Football. "I'm treating it as if I'm playing on Monday," Herbert said.
| Footballguys view: Two seasons ago, Herbert fractured the middle finger on his left hand. The Chargers primarily played out of the shotgun to manage that injury. "I think in terms of experience, I've gone through similar things, and so I think it'll be helpful," he said. "But at the end of the day, just got to go out there and make sure that everything is good, you're comfortable." Herbert finished 15-of-20 with 151 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and an interception. We'll be following up on Herbert's progress in coming days. Trey Lance will start if Herbert can't go. |
