From the episode

Keaton Mitchell has the standalone RB3 flex value that we thought he would when we thought that it might just be the two of them under Mike McDaniel

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Mitchell has flex value in a crowded Chargers committee.

Keaton Mitchell has standalone RB3/flex value in a full-blown committee backfield for the Chargers. He saw significant touches alongside O'Marion Hampton and Kamani Vidal, making him a desperation play in deeper formats.
