ESPN's Dan Graziano visited Chargers camp this week and came away with this note: "Keaton Mitchell, if healthy, should be a factor in this offense."
The Chargers are signing RB Keaton Mitchell to a two-year deal, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Mitchell will get $9.25 million in all, with $5 million of that guaranteed. Mitchell spent the past three years with Baltimore after arriving as an undrafted free agent. He hit the open market after the Ravens elected not to tender him as a restricted free agent.
The Ravens were forced to play most of Week 16 without QB Lamar Jackson, who injured his back in the second quarter. Baltimore RB Derrick Henry did his part, rushing for 128 yards and 2 TDs, but it wasn't enough as the Patriots reeled off 15 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to defeat the Ravens 28-24. Henry's performance was his best showing since opening the season with 169 yard and a pair of TDs against the Bills.
Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell (knee) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals. He’ll be ready for his usual change-of-pace role in that one but would be a desperation fantasy start.
Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a chance to play vs. the Bengals this weekend. Mitchell isn't a viable fantasy starter but has been stealing a handful of touches per game from RB Derrick Henry.
Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell avoided serious injury in the knee that knocked him out of Sunday's loss to the Steelers. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Mitchell sustained "no structural damage," and Baltimore HC John Harbaugh calls the RB "day to day."
Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell was knocked out of Sunday's game vs. the Steelers with a second-half knee injury. He tallied 76 yards on six carries before exiting, fueled by a 55-yarder in the third quarter. With RB Justice Hill on IR, Mitchell's absence leaves Rasheen Ali as Baltimore's No. 2 RB.
The Ravens placed RB Justice Hill (neck) on IR. He was already ruled out for tonight's game vs. the Bengals but will now be sidelined at least through Week 16. Hill can be dropped in all fantasy leagues. His absence should mean a little extra work for RB Keaton Mitchell, although RB Rasheen Ali also got some of Hill's pass-catching work when he missed Week 11.
Ravens RB Justice Hill (neck) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Bengals. RBs Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali basically split Hill's pass-catching role when he missed Week 11. Mitchell carried six times for 31 yards and caught two of three targets for 23 yards in that one. He's still not a viable play in season-long leagues, but Mitchell is in play as a flier in Thanksgiving daily contests.
Ravens RB Justice Hill (toe) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. Hill leads Ravens RBs with a 41% route rate and 11.4% target share this season. His absence could mean more passing-game work for RB Derrick Henry, although RB Keaton Mitchell could also pick up some of Hill's work. Consider this a slight upgrade to Henry's Week 11 fantasy outlook.
Keaton Mitchell carried four times for 31 yards in Sunday's win over the Vikings, ranking second among Baltimore RBs in rushing work. Justice Hill followed with just one carry, producing a 1-yard TD in the middle of the third quarter. Derrick Henry, of course, dominated ground work with 20 rushes for 75 yards. Henry also led the backfield receiving against Minnesota, catching all three of his targets for 9 yards. Hill followed him in that area, running seven pass routes to Henry's 18 and catching one of two targets for 12 yards.
Derrick Henry rushed 21 times for 71 yards and 2 TDs to help lead the Baltimore Ravens to their second win of the season. The 19.1 PPR poitns that Henry scored on Sunday were his highest output since ran for 169 yards and 2 TDs in Week 1.
Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell is a healthy scratch for tonight's game vs. the Bills. It's surprising after Mitchell turned in an impressive preseason, carrying nine times for 68 yards and a score. Baltimore will roll with RBs Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, and Rasheen Ali tonight.
Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell carried nine times for 68 yards and a score in Thursday night's preseason game vs. the Colts. He had back-to-back runs of 23 and 22 yards in the first quarter, with the latter going for a TD. Mitchell also returned three kickoffs for 64 yards.
Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic believes that the following Ravens saw their stock rise during OTAs/minicamp: TE Mark Andrews, RB Keaton Mitchell, and WR Devontez Walker.
Ravens RB Justice Hill was knocked out of Saturday night's game vs. the Steelers with a concussion. It's his first documented head injury, but Hill is a long shot to be cleared in time for Wednesday's game against the Texans. His absence will likely mean more snaps for RBs Rasheen Ali and/or Keaton Mitchell. RB Derrick Henry could also pick up some more passing-down work.
Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell is expected to play vs. the Bengals tonight, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports. It'll be Mitchell's first game since last December's season-ending knee injury. Mitchell will bring even more big-play ability to Baltimore's offense, but we're expecting him to at least start off as the No. 3 RB behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. Mitchell should not be in Week 10 fantasy lineups.
