This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
Hey, this is Hayes Davenport and Sean Clemens. We host the podcast Hollywood
Handbook. Each week we talk to someone in show business and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. Everyone has a good time and no one gets mad at their publicists for letting them do our show.
We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman, Adam Scott, Danny McBride, Ben Stillard, and a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hello, everybody. Welcome into our three of 2026's version of Fantasy Fest here at Fantasy Pros. I'm Ryan Warmley, stepping in for the Welsh, who did such a great job holding down the fort here in the first couple of hours. We are rolling on here.
What makes Omarion Hampton a potential boom‑or‑bust RB for the 2026 draft?
Another two hours for you on YouTube, and then that after party they were talking about over on Twitch. Hope everybody joins for that as well. I am joined for this segment by Andrew Air. Ericsson and by Nathan Yankee from PFF. Really excited to talk about some polarizing players here in this segment, some boom or bust guys. The way we're gonna do it is Erickson has provided his four hardest to rank players. We're gonna get his opinion. We're gonna get Nathan's opinion. We're gonna see what the audience thinks as well. Erickson, how are you doing here on Fantasy Fest Day?
Dude, I am thrilled. So happy. We're already two hours in, but I there's so much more that we have to talk about, some more players to talk about, draft strategies. So worm. I liked your polo in the ad read a little bit more than this polo here, but uh it's okay, man. I
was saying I was I was really glad that I wasn't wearing the same one on accident, remembering when I had recorded that one. So glad to uh mix it up a little, even if it's not quite as nice of a shirt. Nathan, thank you so much for coming on and joining us today.
Oh yeah, thanks for having me. Excited to be on. Two weeks till the season starts, two weeks from today. So I'm excited.
It's that time. Like it, you know, as soon as you hit August, you get really excited, but you get to like the last week or so of August, and there's just a whole other level here. We are very excited ourselves. A lot of Napes get through, so let's jump right in here.
Can De’Von Achane thrive in Miami’s new offense and become a fantasy breakout?
Ericsson, who is your number one, not necessarily in order, but number one of the four guys you picked hardest to rank players?
O'Marron Hampton, running back for the Los Angeles Chargers. And I believe that we've already talked about him a couple different times throughout some of these segments because I think that he is a pretty polarizing player. Again, a small sample size last year. We only played half of the year. Chargers dealt with a lot of offensive line injuries. RB16 points per game over those nine games played. He scored five touchdowns. And now it's the projection of okay, him in Mike McDaniel's offense. We're all expecting. Expecting fireworks. But then you also throw into okay, center Tyler Biotish, big splashy free agency signing by the Chargers. Well, he's on in your reserve. So you're already down one of the interior offensive linemen upgrades.
And that's where the question marks are on this Chargers offensive line. It's in the interior. You're expecting the tackles between Slater and Joe Alt to be back and healthy, and then to really carry this offensive line to be a top 10 unit. But how will the interior Tier hold up. I think that affects a guy like O'Mearan Hampton. So I've been more bullish on him, I think, through most of the process. I think that when I look at what he could do, especially start the season, he's got the Cardinals, he's got the Raiders, he's got the Buffalo Bills. Like this guy could score eight touchdowns in three weeks and nobody would be surprised. But then the Charger schedule gets really, really tough from weeks four onward, where he has to face a juggernaut of run defenses.
Now, Obviously, that can change when guys go down.
