FantasyPros Articles on Keaton Mitchell
From the article
Keaton Mitchell checks those boxes. The Chargers will have one of the strongest offensive lines in the league, a new and projected high-scoring offense, a head coach that plays through the run game, and a new Offensive Coordinator in Mike McDaniel that "WANTED" Mitchell on the team.
STACKED’s take
Mitchell's elite speed and McDaniel fit make him a high-upside late-round RB target.
Mitchell is a late-round RB steal outside the top 45 in half-PPR ADP with standalone value that could become must-have if the primary back misses time. The Chargers have one of the strongest offensive lines, a projected high-scoring offense, and new OC Mike McDaniel who specifically wanted Mitchell on the team. McDaniel has a track record of maximizing speed backs like Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane. Mitchell's explosiveness is unmatched, averaging over 6.0 yards per carry and leading all qualifying RBs with 14.49 MPH average rushing speed last season. While Omarion Hampton will lead the backfield, Mitchell has a clear path to a change-of-pace role with designed touches.
