Keaton Mitchell at Buffalo — Sparse Workload Keeps Him on Fantasy Benches

Mitchell enters Week 3 fully healthy but locked into a complementary role behind Omarion Hampton in the Chargers' backfield rotation. Through the first two games of the season, Mitchell has managed just nine carries for 33 yards and one reception, operating with limited opportunities alongside Kimani Vidal.

Heading on the road as underdogs against Buffalo, our projections expect Mitchell to see around five carries for 21 rushing yards and minimal passing game involvement, pegging him at roughly 4.2 fantasy points. Given that his start rate is hovering near 1% and his roster share sits around 32%, fantasy managers should keep Mitchell parked firmly on benches.
