## Resource

The Chargers’ backfield is heating up with Omarion Hampton and Keaton Mitchell, a dynamic duo primed for breakout seasons under Mike McDaniel’s outside zone scheme. Hampton’s injury-shortened 2024 didn’t dim his potential, while Mitchell brings explosive change-of-pace speed. Their rise contrasts Denver’s gamble on J.K. Dobbins, who’s aiming to prove last year’s success wasn’t a fluke and hopes to be the league’s top rusher in 2026. With the Chiefs’ Kenneth Walker and Raiders’ Ashton Jeanty also in the mix, the AFC West is shaping up as a running back battleground — and Dobbins’ health could be the wild card that tips the scales.
