How this is measured
Each bar is the league at his position; the marker is him. Right is better, the dashed line is the median. Ranks are out of the qualifying pool, ties shown as T-, and move every week as the pool changes.
Hampton scores 7.3 standard points a game, RB33 of 107 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 3.9 and 10.7; 1 boom week (12+) and 3 busts (under 5). Next up, in Week 9, the Texans allow the 14th-most standard points to RBs, 17.7 a game.
Hampton scores 8.1 half-PPR points a game, RB35 of 107 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 4.6 and 11.5; 1 boom week (16+) and 4 busts (under 6.5). Next up, in Week 9, the Texans allow the 13th-most half-PPR points to RBs, 20.1 a game.
Hampton scores 8.9 PPR points a game, RB37 of 107 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 5.0 and 12.3; 0 boom weeks (20+) and 4 busts (under 8). Next up, in Week 9, the Texans allow the 13th-most PPR points to RBs, 22.4 a game.
How this is measured
Fantasy points are nflverse's standard and full-PPR scoring (6 points for a rushing or receiving touchdown, 4 for a passing touchdown, minus 2 for an interception or a lost fumble); half PPR is the average of the two. Ranks are points a game among players at his position with at least half the most games played. Most weeks is his 20th to 80th percentile game. Bars are green on a boom week and red on a bust; the dashed line is the starter line, the points a game of the RB24 in a 12-team league. The format you pick is remembered on this device.
How he's usedhis fingerprint, where the ball finds him and when
Motion is part of the plan: 72% of his touches come with pre-snap movement (league 54%). He gets to the edge: only 37% of his carries go inside (league 52%). His share of the team's touches is 27%: on third down it falls to 11%; inside the 20 it climbs to 33%. His carries come from the gun: 46% of them (league 34%).
How this is measured
Every trait is a share of his own touches, so volume does not move it. The marker is him among the league's qualifying backs; the dashed line is the median. Styles are not grades: a high or low percentile is a description, not a verdict. Play action, screen, RPO, motion and blitz flags come from FTN charting and read low in a week it has not published.
Hampton's -23.9 EPA is 66th of 70 backs. The biggest share comes after the catch (+10.7, 61st percentile per target). Runs cost him more than most (-26.3, 12th percentile).
career -0.01 over 2025 · the lowest of his 2 seasons
How this is measured
Every carry and target this season, split by what happened. Catches divide at the catch: the yards in the air and what came after. Runs are per carry, the receiving parts per target. The percentile is him among the qualifying backs, higher is better, so a cost smaller than most ranks high. The parts add up to the totals above; the career strip counts seasons with at least 30 touches.

Touches are steady: 12.7 a game over his last three against 14.6 for the season. 4 straight games below a starter's median in scrimmage yds. Week 8 was his season low in yards.
How this is measured
Bars are his week. The shaded band is the league's middle half at his position, every qualifying player-game this season, and the dashed line is its median. The solid line is his trailing three games. An × on the baseline is a game his team played without him; a dotted tick is the bye.
He has faced the 6th-toughest slate vs the run: his opponents rank 12.9 of 32 on average (league middle 16.6). Ahead: 4 of his next 10 are top-10 vs the run and 3 are bottom-10, starting with the Texans (25th) in Week 9.
