Omarion Hampton vs TreVeyon Henderson: Who Should You Start?
Omarion Hampton and TreVeyon Henderson are both viable fantasy running backs heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Omarion Hampton averaged 13.3 PPG across 9 games with the Los Angeles Chargers, while TreVeyon Henderson posted 11.1 PPG in 17 appearances for the New England Patriots.
A 2.2-PPG gap gives Omarion Hampton the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Omarion Hampton ran for 545 yards and 4 touchdowns; TreVeyon Henderson posted 911 and 9. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Omarion Hampton sits Week 5 while TreVeyon Henderson is off Week 14. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
