STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Mitchell projects as flex play; elite matchup vs. Arizona and game script favor increased workload.

Mitchell will have a role as a change-of-pace guy behind Omarion Hampton. While he averaged only 4.3 PPR fantasy points per game in 2025 with Baltimore, he averaged over 7.7 yards per rushing attempt in four of eight games with at least four rushing attempts last season. Sunday's matchup against Arizona makes him a solid desperation flex option. Los Angeles is a 9.5-point favorite (largest spread of the weekend), and the Cardinals surrendered the second-most rushing touchdowns (17) and third-most fantasy points per game (26.3) to running backs last season, making them a punching bag for opposing offenses.
