Omarion Hampton vs Rhamondre Stevenson: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Omarion Hampton and Rhamondre Stevenson for your lineup, you are not alone. Omarion Hampton finished the 2025 season at 13.3 PPG for the Los Angeles Chargers (9 games), and Rhamondre Stevenson averaged 11.6 for the New England Patriots (14 games).
That 1.7-point weekly advantage for Omarion Hampton is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Omarion Hampton ran for 545 yards and 4 touchdowns; Rhamondre Stevenson posted 603 and 7. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Omarion Hampton has his bye in Week 5, and Rhamondre Stevenson rests in Week 14. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
