Keaton Mitchell played next, well ahead of Kimani Vidal. Mitchell caught two passes; a wheel route up the seam and a checkdown where he made a defender miss. I'm #noticing that his alignments are funky when he's on the field and that OC Mike McDaniel appears to be having fun with how he'll use him as a receiver, in addition to giving him pitches and stretch runs. Mitchell is a near lock to have a career-high in receiving this year, and I'm drafting him aggressively while fading Hampton inside the top-15.

Mitchell poised for career-high receiving; Zachariason drafting aggressively.

Mitchell played well ahead of Kimani Vidal for the Chargers in preseason Week 2, catching two passes on a wheel route up the seam and a checkdown where he made a defender miss. His alignments are funky when he's on the field and OC Mike McDaniel appears to be having fun with how he'll use him as a receiver, in addition to giving him pitches and stretch runs. Mitchell is a near lock to have a career-high in receiving this year, and JJ Zachariason is drafting him aggressively.
