Keaton Mitchell Fantasy

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken said that the team is getting more comfortable with rookie running back Keaton Mitchell in different personal groupings. Monken also acknowledged that there is still a learning curve with stuff like pass protection and route-running, but Mitchell's involvement only continues to grow in a crowded backfield that also consists of Gus Edwards and Justice Hill. Mitchell played a team-high 46% of the offensive snaps out of the backfield in Sunday night's win over the Los Angeles Chargers and led the backfield with 11 touches. Edwards and Hill will continue to chip in, but the 21-year-old is trending toward leading this backfield come postseason time and is easily the most explosive back with the most pure upside of the trio.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell received the most carries in the backfield and out-gained everyone in the process in the 20-10 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. The undrafted rookie collected 64 yards on nine carries and caught both of his targets for 25 yards. He received one more carry than Gus Edwards and four more than Justice Hill in this contest. On top of that, he was the most efficient with a 7.1 yards per carry average. Mitchell continues to play his way into more opportunities and will likely remain a key piece after the bye week.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell remains big-play dependent since backfield mate Gus Edwards gets all of the high-value touches in the offense. He has officially taken over the backup spot from Justice Hill, however, and Mitchell should get some chances to break off a big run against the 26th-ranked defense against opposing backfields. Unless any fantasy managers are desperate for running backs, Mitchell would be too hard to trust in a game that could also turn into a shootout. He could, however, be a sneaky play in DFS lineups.
