Omarion Hampton Disappoints in Upset Loss
Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton had 12 carries for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's shocking 26-14 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The 23-year-old was a non-factor in the passing game and had zero targets out of the backfield. Hampton started the game with a nine-yard rushing touchdown to cap off a 77-yard drive. However, he went from hero to zero on the next drive after fumbling the football that led to a Cardinals field goal. In a favorable matchup, Hampton only garnered 9.3 fantasy points and will likely finish outside the top 30 running backs in PPR leagues. Hampton will look to bounce back next week at home against a Las Vegas Raiders defense that only allowed 74 rushing yards in their home opener.

Justin Herbert Throws One Touchdown in Disappointing Loss
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert went 17-for-27 for 209 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in his team's shocking 26-14 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Herbert also had five carries for 29 rushing yards. The 28-year-old disappointed in the season opener, producing under 15 fantasy points, and will likely finish outside the top 20 scoring quarterbacks in Week 1. Herbert and the Chargers cut the lead to two late in the third quarter after finding Ladd McConkey on an eight-yard touchdown. However, the game spiraled for the Chargers after a punt was blocked and Herbert threw an interception late. Herbert will hope to bounce back at home in a favorable matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2.

Carnell Tate is Underwhelming in NFL Debut
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate made his NFL debut against the New York Jets on Sunday. There was plenty of hype surrounding this debut after Tate was selected fourth overall during this year's draft. Tate didn't give fantasy managers a ton to be happy about on Sunday. The rookie wideout hauled in four of his six targets for 38 yards in the loss. The good news is that Tate finished tied for the team lead in receiving yards and targets with Wan'Dale Robinson. The entire Titans offense struggled to move the ball, and that could be a season-long theme. The hope is that things will get better for Tate once he builds more chemistry with quarterback Cam Ward. Fantasy managers should consider Tate a low-end WR3 for the Week 2 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Jalen Coker Emerges as Top Target in Loss
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker posted a huge day on the field during the Week 1 matchup against the Chicago Bears. The third-year wideout hauled in a 51-yard score in the second quarter. Coker found the end zone again with an eight-yard score in the fourth quarter. The 24-year-old hauled in eight of his nine targets for 138 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. There are probably not too many people out there who had Jalen Coker dropping two TDs and nearly 150 yards on their bingo cards. Coker emerged as the favorite option of quarterback Bryce Young on Sunday. The two of them clearly have great chemistry, which could lead to a breakout campaign for Coker. After that game, Coker is going to be one of the most popular names on the waiver wire. He should be a solid flex option for the Week 2 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
