From the episode

Mitchell just seems to fit this Mike McDaniel offense better than Amari and Hampton does...Mitchell's adjusted yards after contact per attempt is about half a yard higher than Hampton's...Mitchell's seen the higher route share. And this was my concern last week when Amari and Hampton was a sell candidate. That discrepancy was on full display in week 3. Mitchell ran 14 routes. Hampton had 6.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Mitchell fits McDaniel's scheme better than Hampton; higher route share and trailing-game upside.

Mitchell is an add candidate in Mike McDaniel's offense, fitting the scheme better than Amari and Hampton. Mitchell's adjusted yards after contact per attempt is 0.5 yards higher than Hampton's; more importantly, Mitchell has higher route share (14 routes vs. Hampton's 6 in Week 3). Hampton has not run a single route when Chargers trailed by touchdown or more. With Chargers facing strong schedule (Seahawks, Broncos, Chiefs, Rams, Texans, Ravens next 6 games), trailing scenarios could increase Mitchell's usage over Hampton and potentially Kamani Vidal.
