Mitchell's 16 snaps were an encouraging early total, he managed just four rush attempts for a forgettable nine yards and was targeted on just one of the 11 routes he ran.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Mitchell's 4 carries, 1 target in Week 1 undercuts preseason optimism about his role.

Mitchell's Week 1 performance against Cardinals was disappointing despite early optimism; he logged 16 snaps but managed only 4 rush attempts for 9 yards and was targeted on just 1 of 11 routes run. Despite Mike McDaniel's history of targeting running backs (245 RB targets, second-most since 2024), Justin Herbert failed to target any Chargers RBs in the 35-dropback game where LAC trailed most of the time.
