Can Keaton Mitchell Carve Out a Large Enough Role for a Fantasy Breakout?

Sunday, June 7, 5:41 AM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Keaton Mitchell brought energy and excitement to the field throughout his three-year stint with the Ravens, but injuries and a 191-pound frame have limited him to only 144 total opportunities across those three seasons. Regularly showcasing his game-breaking speed, he averaged a whopping 6.8 yards per touch on that minimal workload, and in agreeing to terms on a two-year deal with the Chargers, he lands with an offensive coordinator in Mike McDaniel who arguably values speed more than any playcaller in the league. Mitchell is expected to serve primarily as a change-of-pace back behind 2025 first-round pick Omarion Hampton, so he won't see the type of volume that allowed McDaniel to turn past speedsters De'Von Achane and Raheem Mostert into Pro Bowlers, but in an offense known for creating space for its playmakers, a career year is very much in the cards. At only 24 years old, Mitchell is RotoBaller's RB80, but now, almost 30 months removed from the ACL tear that ended his rookie season and cost him the majority of his sophomore campaign, he is an easy player to get excited about and a low-cost breakout candidate, particularly in best ball formats.

Is Isaiah Davis the More Valuable Jets Handcuff?

Sunday, May 31, 5:48 AM

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis has scarcely been used through his first two seasons in the league, but has shown enough efficiency on his limited opportunities to cling to a roster spot at the bottom of dynasty benches. With Breece Hall signing a three-year deal this offseason to stick with the Jets through the 2028 season, the backup role in New York will carry little standalone value for the foreseeable future, evidenced by Davis' 236-yard, single-touchdown stat line from 2025, despite fellow 2024 pick Braelon Allen going down with a Week 4 MCL sprain that ended his second season. With Hall handling a 72.8% running back rush share as one of 2025's true bell cow backs, the insurance value of his primary handcuff is clear. However, with enough ambiguity between Davis and Allen to cloud the picture of a backfield without Hall, there is reason for both players to be held. Allen fits the mold of the traditional between-the-tackles runner, while Davis has averaged 5.6 yards per carry through his first two seasons and has looked functional in the passing game. The reality is that neither player would likely see a full complement of work in Hall's absence, but for now, both belong rostered even with Davis down at RB80 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.
