new OC Mike McDaniel pounded the table for Mitchell as a free-agent pickup, but Mitchell dealt with a hamstring injury in August. Omarion Hampton looms as the obvious priority back in Los Angeles, but Mitchell could percolate into a meaty role that equals regular flex consideration.

Mitchell's McDaniel backing and favorable game script offer flex upside if healthy.

Chargers RB Mitchell (41% rostered) has had an inconsistent sleeper case all summer — new OC Mike McDaniel advocated for him as a free-agent pickup, but Mitchell dealt with a hamstring injury in August. Omarion Hampton is the obvious priority back, but if Mitchell is healthy enough to play Sunday, game script should favor him; the Chargers are 9.5-point favorites over the Cardinals. Mitchell deserves roster consideration as a one-injury-away upside player with potential to develop into regular flex consideration.
