2019 Fantasy Outlook
From Week 6 through the end of the season, no running back averaged more points per game than Mitchell (26.4). He accomplished that on the strength of 11 rushing scores, three receiving scores, and a 7.57 YPC mark. What’s more impressive is that he did that while splitting carries with Trey Ragas, who had 130 carries in that stretch compared to Mitchell’s 93. Ragas will be back this season, but Mitchell has emphatically proven that he can supply consistent and strong production despite playing in a timeshare.
