From the episode

If and when the Chargers trail in those games, we might see more Keaton Mitchell than Amari and Hampton. Maybe even Kamani Vidal. And there's always the chance that LA just wants to change things up. They have not been effective offensively. And that could lead to Keaton Mitchell getting a little bit more work even in a neutral game script. And we started to see that in week 3. He had a season high 29% rush share.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Mitchell's 29% rush share and upcoming tough schedule could increase his workload.

Chargers face Seahawks, Broncos, Chiefs, Rams, Texans, and Ravens over next 6 games; if LA trails in those matchups, Mitchell could see increased work over Amari Cooper and Hampton. Even in neutral game script, the Chargers' offensive ineffectiveness could lead to more Mitchell usage. In Week 3, Mitchell posted a season-high 29% rush share. Efficiency has been encouraging and he already has a passing game role to some degree. Upcoming schedule could create more field time opportunities. At RB where bodies are always needed, worth adding off waivers.
