Keaton Mitchell Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Bet you didn't guess who would lead the Ravens in rushing yards in Sunday's win over the Seahawks. Undrafted rookie RB Keaton Mitchel racked up 138 yards and a TD on 9 carries in the lopsided victory. The speedster delivered a 40-yard TD sprint in the third quarter, as well as a 60-yard fourth-quarter run. Mitchell logged his final 2 carries in the fourth quarter, after QB Tyler Huntley had entered the game. But he finished the first half tied with RBs Gus Edwards and Justice Hill at 4 carries. Mitchell finished 4 carries ahead of Edwards for the game and led Hill as well before Hill handled the team's final 5 RB rushing attempts. This should be enough to keep Mitchell involved going forward. If he stays involved to the same degree he did against Seattle, this will become a frustrating backfield to project and use in fantasy football lineups. Baltimore gets a negative RB-scoring matchup with Cleveland in Week 10, so you'll probably want to keep Ravens RBs out of your lineup. A more neutral spot against Cincinnati follows before an upside matchup with the Chargers. Let's hope for role clarity at least ahead of that one.

Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell (shoulder) is active for this morning's game against the Titans. The rookie makes his NFL debut alongside Justice Hill and Gus Edwards in Baltimore's backfield. Mitchell shouldn't be in season-long fantasy lineups but might be worth stashing in deeper leagues as we monitor his role.

Ravens RB Gus Edwards carried the ball 15 times for 48 yards in Week 4's win over the Browns. Teammate Justice Hill saw very little involvement in this contest, seeing just 3 carries for 33 yards and a goose egg in the receiving column. Perhaps his toe injury still bothers him, but Hill losing that much work to Edwards is a red flag. It's worth mentioning that rookie RB Keaton Mitchell is eligible to come off IR next week. He's a smaller change-of-pace back that performed very well for the Ravens in the preseason. Given Hill's fading opportunities, Mitchell might be a name to consider stashing in deeper formats. Next week, the Ravens will go on the road to face the Steelers.

The Ravens released RB Melvin Gordon. They'll carry RBs J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards, Justice Hill, and rookie Keaton Mitchell into Week 1.

The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec believes Ravens RB Justice Hill is “set” in the RB3 role. Zrebiec thinks it’s down to Melvin Gordon and rookie Keaton Mitchell -- if Baltimore keeps four RBs. Gordon’s made a “compelling case” to make the team, although Mitchell brings more "speed and explosiveness" (plus special teams potential). We should see both guys suit up for tonight's preseason tilt with Washington.
