The NFL preview of 2025 officially started last Thursday with the Los Angeles Chargers who hammer the Detroit Lions 34-7 in the annual Hall of Fame match in Canton, Ohio.
It is no surprise, fantasy football stands such as Jahmyr Gibbs and Justin Herbert did not arrive, because both Dan Campbell and Jim Harbaugh chose to be most of their respective starters for this early exhibition. Instead, back -ups such as Trey Lance were given their chance to show themselves as the August 26 Rooster Cutdown date Dooms big.
The game also allowed a handful of rookies to get their first taste of action in the National Football League, some were prominent all night. Although their use in this game does not give a complete picture of how they will be used in the regular season, they can give a number of early instructions for curious fantasy managers while the concept season unfolds.
Let’s see what we have learned about fantasy rookies for the chargers and lions in the Hall of Fame Game.
Omarion Hampton, RB, Lac
The Rookie that ran back from North Carolina got the start for the chargers and registered two carrys for nine meters on the team’s opening ride before the rest of the evening ended. According to Nathan Jahnke from Pro Football Focus, he also walked two routes on the field during his short time.
As the first round of the chargers in the NFL design of 2025 last April, Hampton Fantasy Draft has set up boards for good reason. Harbaugh’s Mo throughout his career has a strong land attack with physical running and with 220 pounds, the Rookie fits well with that form.
Hampton has also received a lot of run in a training camp because of the absence of veteran outside the season and signing Najee Harris, which was set aside on July 4 with an eye injury due to a fireworks accident. He gets the start about Kimani Vidal is an indicator of the confidence of the staff in the Rookie and there is a strong chance that he could take that role again against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
Although it is too early to explain Hampton RB1 in LA, the Rookie could reinforce itself as such at the end of the camp and the preseason could justify Fantasy Hype.
Isaac Tesla, WR, Det
Dan Campbell has had an excellent concept record since taking over the head coach of Lions and Teslaa is perhaps his latest hidden gem. The third round Wideout from Arkansas was given a considerable burn during the Hall of Fame game, with 32 snaps logging in with Two receptions for 46 meters.
On 6’4 ”with a 4.43 40-Yard Dash time, one can see why he generates Buzz in the Lions training camp. Special teams Gunner In the exhibition, Campbell’s willingness can indicate to get him in what capacity on the field. Keep an eye on it all month.
Tre ‘Harris, Keandre Lambert-Smith, WR, Lac
A few more rookies who made their debut for the bolts were Wideouts Lambert and Harris, both of whom registered a handful of Snaps in victory. The first was only in the exhibition once, while the latter stood out on the field in his short time, making an impressive 24-year reception before he found the end zone in the second quarter.
The chargers want to solidify their depth of the recipient behind Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston and open the door for both fifth round rookies to see action during the regular season. Although they may not yet offer much value in the competitions, dynasty managers have to keep them on their radars as potential late round sleepers that they can store.
Oronde gadsden II, te, lac
The chargers have a few veteran tight ends in Tyler Conklin and will, of whom the last one caught a touchdown in the preseason opener while the first was sitting. But don’t sleep on the Rookie Gadsden, who started next to Disly in the game.
The son of the former recipient of Miami Dolphins had only one target for seven meters, but as PFF noted, he was on the field for the only click of the chargers in a non-goal line, 11 staff grouping. We will see if that was just a coincidence or an indicator that the Rookie will be the best goal of LA.
