Footballguys Consensus
RB84
Phil Alexander
RB85
Not convinced Kareem Hunt holds down the back-up role for long. Mitchell has always added value to his touches. He just needs to stay on the field.
Matt Waldman
RB84
When healthy, Mitchell is a decisive runner with outside zone and gap plays. He has good size and speed. Staying healthy has been a problem in recent years. He'll compete for the RB2 role with Kareem Hunt or the RB3 role with rookie Brashard Smith.
Ben Cummins
RB84
Awesome athlete who is intriguing in fantasy as a possible change of pace back with juice in Kansas City's offense. But he has to stay healthy. He's only played in 27 of 68 possible games in his NFL career.

Elijah Mitchell should make team
Kansas City Chiefs RB Elijah Mitchell should make the team, given good health, in the opinion of beat writer Jesse Newell.
