Video: Top 10 Breakout RBs for 2026
Guys like Katon Mitchell. Yes, Katon Mitchell's coming in at 10... he is only 24 years old. He's going into his fourth NFL season. We have seen the efficiency with Keaton Mitchell early on in his NFL career be insane... he averaged 8.4 yards per carry as a rookie... he averaged 5.8 yards per attempt... he just got a two-year $9.25 million deal from the Los Angeles Chargers... Keaton Mitchell could be a massive breakout if we were to get an injury to Marian Hampton ahead of him.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Elite efficiency back signed to Chargers; massive upside only if Hampton gets injured.

Ranked #10 breakout RB candidate; 24 years old entering his fourth NFL season with elite efficiency metrics: 8.4 yards per carry as a 2023 rookie, 5.8 yards per attempt in 2024 with Baltimore. Signed a two-year $9.25 million deal with Los Angeles Chargers ($5 million guaranteed), significantly more than comparable backs like Rashad White ($1.5 million). New Chargers offensive coordinator from Miami reportedly printed Mitchell's face and posted it in his office as motivation. However, upside is contingent on injury to Amari Hampton, who is the bellcow; Mitchell is a handcuff play with massive breakout potential only if Hampton goes down.
