News: 1 day agoMitchell (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Spin: After being limited Wednesday and Thursday and wearing a walking boot earlier in the week, Mitchell's good to go against Seattle. At less than 100 percent and facing a stout defense, Mitchell is tough to get behind for fantasy lineups, even after he closed the snaps and touches gap on Omarion Hampton in last Sunday's loss to the Bills. Neither is an overly exciting Week 4 fantasy bet.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Mitchell signed with the Chargers after spending his first three NFL seasons with Baltimore. The 2023 UDFA will compete with Kimani Vidal for change-of-pace touches behind starter Omarion Hampton. Mitchell has been limited to 140 touches over his first three NFL seasons, but he has been extremely productive when called upon. His career 6.34 yards per carry ranks second and his 2.50 YAC fourth among 89 backs with 100-plus carries since 2023. He has also put up 184 yards on 23 targets (8.0 YPT). Mitchell is on the small side, so his ceiling is likely capped (he has never cleared 11 touches in a game), but the 24-year-old would be worth adding should Hampton miss time.
