Video: 10 Waiver Wire Targets You Need to Add ASAP for Week 2
Keaton Mitchell, he was the only other non-Amarion Hampton running back on the Chargers to take a snap. He also had the third most slot routes among running backs...he is likely the Hampton handcuff. Now, I will say the reason he's not a tier higher is I do have some concern. Even though Camani Vidal didn't register a single snap, if Hampton goes down, it wouldn't shock me if it became like a 50/50 split between Keeton Mitchell and Camani Vidal.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Chargers handcuff with slot usage, but limited upside if Hampton falls.

Mitchell was the only other non-Amarion Hampton running back to take a snap for the Chargers and had the third most slot routes among running backs, showcasing creative usage. He is likely the Hampton handcuff and could see slot usage independent of Hampton's health. However, the source has concern that if Hampton goes down, it could become a 50/50 split between Mitchell and Camani Vidal rather than a clear bell-cow role, which would limit his standalone upside.
