Week 14 concludes in Los Angeles on Monday as the Eagles face the Chargers. Omarion Hampton hasn’t played since Week 5 due to injury, but is set to make his return to action under the lights of Monday Night Football. Can he pick up where he left off, or will it take him a game or two to get back up to speed?
The Eagles are 1.5-point favorites for this game, with the Chargers +110 underdogs on the moneyline. The points total is set at O/U 41.5 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Below is my favorite Hampton prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Monday’s game.
Best Omarion Hampton Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Omarion Hampton hasn’t played since October 5th when he fractured his ankle. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Hampton will be activated from IR and play on Monday against Philadelphia.
It’s hard to tell how much Hampton will play in his return. Nine weeks have passed since Week 5, and the injury he suffered was fairly serious. Kimani Vidal has been doing more than just holding down the fort; he’s exceeded expectations since Week 5. Vidal is coming off his best performance of the season, recording 126 rushing yards and a touchdown last week against the Raiders. Vidal’s rushing total is listed at 36.5.
DraftKings Sportsbook is giving the edge to Hampton, but I think it will still be Vidal getting the bulk of the work as they ease in Hampton. At some point, Hampton will take back control of this backfield. I don’t think it will be on Monday Night Football, and I’d be surprised if he didn’t take a back seat to his counterpart in this one. Even when Hampton was healthy and in control of the backfield in the first few weeks of the season, he only went over this low total in three of five games.
