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.

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.

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.
