The Bottom Line

Omarion Hampton is the better fantasy play this season.

Cross-position decisions depend on league format. In half-PPR, Omarion Hampton (13.3 PPG) is the higher-floor play. Jake Tonges (8.5 PPG) could win a specific week on touchdown variance.

Fantasy Tiers

Jake Tonges: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) TE (ranked #15 at the position). Omarion Hampton: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) RB (ranked #15 at the position). Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. A Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) TE is harder to replace on waivers than a Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) RB in most league formats.

Jake Tonges vs Omarion Hampton: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Jake Tonges (TE, San Francisco 49ers) against Omarion Hampton (RB, Los Angeles Chargers) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Jake Tonges averaged 8.5 PPG in 2025 over 9 games, while Omarion Hampton posted 13.3 PPG across 9 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Jake Tonges has his bye in Week 8, Omarion Hampton in Week 7. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Omarion Hampton is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Jake Tonges is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: Jake Tonges (age 26) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value. Omarion Hampton (age 23) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
