STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Mitchell dominates Eagles backfield touches (11 carries, 6 targets vs. Barkley).

Mitchell saw a significant workload ramp-up with 11 carries and 6 targets vs. Saquon Barkley's 1 target, establishing him as the primary touch distributor in the Eagles backfield despite poor offensive performance and minimal yardage (34 rushing yards, 3 receiving yards).
