Rich Hribar· Sep 12, 2026
Hribar names Omarion Hampton a core Week 1 DFS play as a three-down back in a favorable matchup, and Tetairoa McMillan a tournament play expected to outperform his price thanks to increased slot usage against a weak Bears defense.
“To open the year, we are catching Hampton as a three-down back attached to a double-digit favorite with a team total just below 30 points.”
