Most excited we saw Patrick Mahomes today was when offense caught defense off-guard with a screen pass to Kenneth Walker III that went for big gain. Could hear him cheering on the play all the way from media tent. Interested to see how much screen game Walker will help KC unlock

The source is watching the Chargers closely this summer to figure out if Mitchell or Kimani Vidal is the preferred option behind Omarion Hampton. This offense could go to the moon with new OC Mike McDaniel, especially if the offensive line stays healthy. Mitchell was sparingly used in the passing game with Baltimore, but he made plenty of splashy runs, averaging 6.3 yards per carry on 121 attempts.

Mitchell landed with the Chargers and should compete for the RB2 role with Kimani Vidal. He flashed the big-play ability he's been known for in his short Ravens career last season. With only 68 touches, he posted a 10.2% explosive run rate and 1.37 yards per route run. While he may not have ton of bankable standalone value week-to-week with the Bolts, he will offer flashy big plays for Mike McDaniel's offense when called upon. The source wouldn't be surprised if he works into an ancillary role as the season moves along that offers flex value.

Keaton Mitchell's average speed of 14.49 miles per hour last year was over one mile per hour quicker than any other running back with 50-plus carries, demonstrating elite explosivity. Mike McDaniel, who prioritizes speed, is expected to maximize this trait in his offensive scheme.

The source acknowledges Keaton Mitchell is a popular best ball pick and does not mind his ADP range. Mitchell is an explosive player who can rip off big plays, but his role remains unclear; he has never seen more than five to ten touches in any given week with the Baltimore Ravens. Despite the uncertainty, the source sees a case for decent upside if he can paint a picture with some big plays.

Keaton Mitchell's athleticism profile rivals Devon Achane's despite size difference; he hit 20+ mph seven times on only 59 carries last season, potentially the most explosive back in the NFL by tested metrics. At 179 pounds (vs. Achane's 188), the BMI difference is not massive. Unlike Achane, Mitchell's collegiate yards per attempt improved with volume at East Carolina, suggesting he can handle increased workload. After tearing his ACL and being behind Derrick Henry, if he gets significant volume in Mike McDaniel's offense—which emphasizes passing game usage and space—Ben Gretch believes he'll handle more than people realize. Gretch projects Mitchell for approximately 40 targets in the Chargers offense, which would carve out meaningful PPR league upside; the offense ran 13.0% running back target share last year (up from 11.6% prior year), and with the Chargers expected to increase that to around 20%, Mitchell can accumulate significant receiving volume.

“but Keaton Mitchell had the wanted poster” Fun story but weird first point. Memes will be fun if he flops tho. Nibbling mainly due to explosiveness/scheme, but underweight. Smart folks who I respect are on him, so I’m nervous …but volume + role = FF RB success. That’s dicey. [Quoted](
