Yahoo Fantasy Football on Keaton Mitchell

Mitchell's elite efficiency metrics and McDaniel's scheme fit make him a high-upside sleeper.

Mitchell is the RB1 in rush yards over expected (+47%), RB1 in EPA per carry (+0.12), and RB2 in YPC (6.3) among RBs with 100+ carries since 2023. Mike McDaniel put him on a 'WANTED' poster in free agency for his pure speed built for perimeter and misdirection schemes. Mitchell has been experimented with as a receiver on wheel routes and swing passes throughout camp and preseason. If he eats into Omarion Hampton's workload, he could sneak into flex radar; if Hampton misses time, Mitchell would be very fun. Hayden Winks highlights huge efficiency numbers as the expectation, not the ceiling.
