Speaking of superstars, I think O'Marion Hampton can have a superstar level jump in year two.

Last year, he had to overcome a lot as a rookie in the Chargers offense that was really hurt by injuries all over the place.

The offensive line was gutted by injuries.

Hampton himself missed a lot of games.

He only played in nine games as a rookie.

And I think that things are going to improve.

In year two, you have Mike McDaniel coming in as the new offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers.

And what I like about him is how often he targeted his running backs as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins.

Three of the four seasons he was head coach, they were top three in running back target share.

So last year, Hampton flashed as a receiver.

I believe he had five games with at least four or more receptions.

So I think Hampton, especially with what he did as a rusher in the second half of the season when he was playing, he was 11th in yards after contact per attempt.

PFF ranked him as the eighth best graded rusher.

He showed that he could handle a full workload.

He played four games with at least 79% plus snap share, average 17.5 fantasy points per game and overall average 17.3 touches per game tied for top 12 at the position.

So although it wasn't a complete rookie year,

A lot of the running backs as rookies underwhelmed last season.

I think in year two, he is set to take a big step forward.

I love this Chargers offense because number one, they have a brutal schedule.

So I think it's going to be a lot of shootouts and losing Jesse Minter as their defensive coordinator.
