Keaton Mitchell’s two-year, $9.3 million deal pairs an explosive runner (5.8 YPC) with Mike McDaniel’s system, drawing favorable comparisons to the highly efficient De’Von Achane. Though Omarion Hampton is slated to lead the backfield, Mitchell is expected to see enough specialized touches to provide flex value in what should be a run-heavy Chargers offense. While Keaton starts as a change-of-pace option, his elite efficiency gives him legitimate Top-20 fantasy RB upside if Hampton faces further injury setbacks in 2026.
