ADVICE

Add Omarion Hampton Immediately

Omarion Hampton will get feature-back volume after Najee Harris's injury, so add or start him now.
Expect 20+ touches and consistent RB1/RB2 production while the Chargers lean on the run.

ADVICE

Don't Panic-Sell Josh Jacobs

Do not sell Josh Jacobs after one bad matchup; he remains a core fantasy asset.
Treat single-game downturns against tough defenses as noise, not season-defining signals.

INSIGHT

Judkins Is A True Workhorse

Quinshon Judkins earned a top-20 running back projection after dominating usage and pounding a top rush defense.
The Browns committed to him with the highest team rush-attempt share, making him a reliable fantasy asset.
