Sep 9Week 11613—In the brief audition he had of being the lone lead back, he crushed.. then got hurt. With OC in Mike McDaniels, he is in great hands. He may talk about hot hand, but we saw what he did with Achane. He's going to get his workhorse the ball. Could easily jump a tier if all goes right.

Oct 1Week 41834▼ 1515 carries for 56, no targets, 54% of the carries after 72% the week before, in an offense that scored 16. The model has him 18th and I'm not fighting it by much; the Chargers haven't given me a reason to hold him at 19.
Oct 7Week 57956▼ 229 carries (28%) after 72% → 54%; Mitchell had 10 carries and 6 targets, Vidal 5. Not on the injury report. Down 22. The model's 79 and I finally agree: the Chargers' offense is 0-4 and Harbaugh went to a committee.

I'm with the modelModel 84 · ADP 10 · gap -74 · RCS 56.2 (neutral)

No metric speaks now: 14 carries (41%) in a three-way split with Vidal and Mitchell. Model 84, market 10 on the draft price, me 63. We agree he's a committee back; we disagree on what that's worth.
