Why Omarion Hampton

Sit

RB1 and feature back. Powerful, high-volume runner with three-down receiving usage; 2025 season shortened by injury.

Sit — RB9 consensus, projects RB28 this week: 4% target share, 10.7 PPR projected vs SEA.

  • SEA ranks 15 of 32 against RBs (a middle-of-the-road matchup, 4-game sample).
  • Vegas implies 21.3 team points as 3.0-point underdogs.
  • Listed RB on the latest depth chart with a 50% snap share.

Why Stefon Diggs

Start· low

Veteran WR2 and high-volume separator. Crisp route technician who wins on option routes and intermediate targets.

24% target share in an offense implied for 26.0 points makes WR38 Diggs a viable flex, though a 58% snap share caps his floor.

  • IND ranks 15 of 32 against WRs (a middle-of-the-road matchup, 3-game sample).
  • Vegas implies 26.0 team points as 1.5-point favorites.
  • Listed WR-2 on the latest depth chart with a 58% snap share.

The call

  • Usage is the selling point. A 24% target share over 3 games is WR2-caliber volume in PPR, even from the WR-2 depth-chart slot.
  • Game environment helps. A 26.0 implied team total with a -1.5 spread points to a competitive, scoring-friendly script that should keep the passing game active.
  • The matchup is neutral at best. IND ranks 15 of 32 in the DvP composite, but that rests on a 3-game sample with 0.25 confidence, so it doesn't swing the call either way.
  • The risk is snap share. At 58% he isn't a full-time player, so the 11.6-point projection and WR38 rank make him a borderline flex. A replacement with a locked-in every-down role would tip it to a sit.
