Latest

Keaton Mitchell’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. He tore his ACL with Baltimore in December 2023 and began 2024 on PUP, then signed a two-year deal with Los Angeles in March.

In the Week 2 loss to the Raiders (Sept. 20), Mitchell turned six touches into 39 yards and out-snapped Kimani Vidal 17-7, per FantasyPros.

Fantasy Action: Mitchell is a speedy change-of-pace back with little standalone value; hold him only as an Omarion Hampton handcuff in deeper leagues.
