Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell scored for the first time this year in last Thursday's Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Mitchell was extremely efficient with his limited opportunities on Turkey Day, taking two carries for 19 yards and a touchdown while picking up 12 receiving yards on his two receptions (three targets). The 23-year-old third-year back only played 13% of the offensive snaps as Baltimore's RB3, though, behind Rasheen Ali (48% snap share) and Derrick Henry (40%). Mitchell had a nice 18-yard touchdown scamper against the Bengals and has intriguing explosiveness out of the backfield, but right now he's stuck as the No. 3 option in the Ravens' backfield, making him a hard sell for a roster spot in 12-team fantasy leagues. He has added value in leagues that include return yardage on special teams. Mitchell had 91 return yards on three kickoffs in Week 13.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell is set to see a bit more action in Week 13 after Justice Hill (neck) has officially been ruled out. In Week 12, Mitchell finished with more touches (3) than Hill (0) despite the fact that he had a 19% snap share compared to Hill's 25%. The young speedster has been more efficient and explosive with his touches this season, and more action against a vulnerable defense should mean great opportunities. The Cincinnati Bengals rank last against opposing backfields and have given up a total of nine touchdowns on the ground and five through the air to running backs. While this all equates to good things for Mitchell, he's still projected outside the top 50 and would be a very risky flex option, even in deeper leagues.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell has been seeing more and more playing time as the season has progressed. He started off as a healthy scratch and then saw a season-high 26% of the offensive snaps in Week 11. This was with Justice Hill sidelined, however, and he has been officially cleared to return against the New York Jets in Week 12. The Jets are ranked 27th against opposing backfields over the last four weeks, but Mitchell has only seen 18% of the snaps, at the most, with Hill incorporated. That leaves Mitchell as no more than a dart throw in deeper leagues, otherwise he's better as a stash option that may get some more playing time down the road.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell had one of his highest usage games of the 2025 season in Week 11, recording 54 scrimmage yards on eight touches against the Cleveland Browns. With Ravens running back Justice Hill (toe) sidelined by a toe injury, Mitchell stepped into the team's RB2 role behind Derrick Henry. If Hill remains out for Baltimore's Week 12 matchup against the New York Jets, Mitchell could see steady playing time on passing downs for the second straight week. Across 19 career games with Baltimore, Mitchell has averaged 6.6 yards per carry and 7.3 yards per touch. He could be worth targeting on the waiver wire for fantasy managers in leagues with 14 or more teams heading into Week 12.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell is off the injury report and ready to go for Week 11 after being a limited participant on Wednesday due to a knee issue. The speedy back only saw seven percent of the snaps in their Week 10 win over the Minnesota Vikings, but he looks to be in line for some more snaps now that Justice Hill (toe) has been ruled out for their game against the Cleveland Browns. Head coach John Harbaugh already talked about wanting to get Mitchell more involved, so he could serve as the main change-of-pace back behind Derrick Henry now. The Browns, however, are one of the toughest matchups for running backs as they give up just 16.79 fantasy points per game to backfields and have only allowed three touchdowns on the ground and one through the air to the position. That gives Mitchell more of a RB4 projection who would only serve as a flex start in very deep leagues.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh acknowledged on Monday that the team needs to get running back Keaton Mitchell "more involved," according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Harbaugh said it was in the game plan in the Week 10 win over the Minnesota Vikings, but "they just didn't get to it." Harbaugh also mentioned that it's "tough to take plays away" from Derrick Henry. Mitchell played only 7% of the offensive snaps on Sunday compared to the 67% that Henry played and the 27% that Justice Hill was featured on. The 23-year-old Mitchell has had four carries apiece in each of the last three games, and he managed 31 rushing yards in the Week 10 victory. He only has two catches for 12 yards in his five games played in 2025. Mitchell had a 22-yard pickup on Sunday, and the third-year back has game-breaking abilities, but as long as Henry remains healthy, it's hard to see him getting enough weekly touches to give him standalone fantasy value.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell is expected to be active for the first time this season against the Houston Texans. The third-year back has been a healthy scratch through the first four weeks, but he's finally set to make his season debut in Week 5. With Lamar Jackson (hamstring) sidelined, the Ravens are expected to lean heavily on the run game, especially with four running backs now on the active roster. The Texans have allowed the 15th-most fantasy points to running backs, and while Mitchell isn't projected to see a major workload right away, his activation adds excitement to Baltimore's backfield rotation. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on how he's utilized in this new-look offense, as his explosiveness could earn him a more significant role moving forward.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell has an opportunity to be in uniform in Week 5 against the Texans, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Mitchell has been a healthy inactive for every game so far this season, but Harbaugh indicates that this week could look different for the speedy back. Mitchell played one game during the preseason and looked electric anytime he touched the ball, rushing for 68 yards and a touchdown on nine carries in his only action of the preseason. He missed most of 2024 recovering from an ACL injury, but we saw him in limited action in 2023, and he was equally dynamic. He rushed for a ridiculous 8.4 yards per carry, easily the most of any running back with at least 47 carries that season. Mitchell is a player to put on watch lists to see what the usage looks like if he plays this week.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell (healthy scratch) has been ruled out for Monday night's matchup against the Detroit Lions. Mitchell has yet to appear in a regular-season game this year, sitting as a healthy scratch each week. The second-year back flashed explosiveness as a rookie before tearing his ACL late in the 2023 season, and he has yet to carve out a role in Baltimore's crowded backfield. With Mitchell sidelined, Justice Hill and Rasheen Ali will continue to operate as the primary backups behind starter Derrick Henry. Hill has logged over 40% of the snaps in the first two games and should maintain a steady role, though the matchup against Detroit's stout run defense remains difficult.Mitchell's next chance to be active will come in Week 4, when the Ravens travel to face the Kansas City Chiefs.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team "just (doesn't) have the spot right now" for running back Keaton Mitchell, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Mitchell has been a healthy scratch for each of the team's first two games of 2025. He appears to be behind Ravens backs Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, and Rasheen Ali, with Ali getting the nod over Mitchell due to his special teams ability. Mitchell missed most of 2024 due to a knee injury, but he flashed upside in 2023, recording 396 yards and two touchdowns on 47 carries. At this point, the 23-year-old likely needs a change of scenery or an injury to one of the backs in front of him in Baltimore to revitalize his career. Mitchell should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell finds himself as a healthy inactive for the second straight week to open the season in Week 2 against the division-rival Cleveland Browns on Sunday. To begin the 2025 campaign, Mitchell has found himself as the team's RB4 behind Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, and Rasheen Ali. The 23-year-old has intriguing power and explosiveness, but he's had trouble staying on the field early in his career, playing only 13 games (two starts) since entering the league in 2023. He has averaged a healthy 6.9 yards per carry on his 62 rushing attempts with 426 yards and two touchdowns, but right now, he's off the fantasy radar altogether in redraft leagues. Mitchell's next chance to make his 2025 debut will be in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions on Monday, Sept. 22.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Buffalo Bills. Rasheen Ali and Justice Hill will operate as the Ravens' depth running backs behind Derrick Henry. According to Jamison Hensley of ESPN, Ali was chosen to be active over Mitchell because of his special teams impact. Meanwhile, Zay Flowers can fill Mitchell's role on jet sweeps and screens behind the line of scrimmage. He's still worth stashing in deeper dynasty leagues because he's shown flashes of potential before, but time is running out for him to make an impact at the NFL level.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell (hamstring) returned to practice on Monday, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said recently that Mitchell has a chance to return in time for the team's final preseason game on Saturday. The third-year running back rushed for 68 yards and a touchdown in Baltimore's preseason opener, but was held out of their second game due to a hamstring injury. Mitchell is competing with Justice Hill and Rasheen Ali for RB2 snaps in Baltimore behind Derrick Henry. If Henry were to go down with an injury, Mitchell might have the highest upside of the remaining Ravens running backs.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell (hamstring) has a hamstring injury, but he will be "fine for the opener," according to Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. Harbaugh also did not rule Mitchell out for the Ravens' final preseason game against the Washington Commanders next Saturday. A torn ACL that he suffered in Week 15 of 2023 limited Mitchell to just five games in 2024, so it's unfortunate to see him battling injuries once again. Thankfully, this ailment does not appear to be particularly serious. Once he returns, Mitchell will be competing with Justice Hill and Rasheen Ali for playing time in the Baltimore backfield behind Derrick Henry.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell (undisclosed) once again did not practice on Monday, according to Brian Wacker of the Baltimore Sun. Mitchell, who's dealing with an undisclosed injury, hasn't practiced since an impressive preseason-opening performance against the Indianapolis Colts last Thursday. The 23-year-old carried the ball nine times for a team-high 68 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 24-16 win. Mitchell missed all but five games last season while recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in 2023, his rookie campaign. If he's healthy this year, Mitchell will vie for touches behind superstar workhorse Derrick Henry. The Ravens are set to play their next preseason game on Saturday in Dallas, but it's unclear if Mitchell will be available to follow up on his productive showing from last week.
