Keaton Mitchell Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell is reportedly dealing with a hamstring issue. He showed up on the team's Thursday injury report. He wasn't on Wednesday's injury report, suggesting that Mitchell suffered the issue during the week.
Mitchell made a major impact in Week 9 despite just playing 14 snaps. He trailed Justice Hill by a good bit, as Hill played 48 snaps. Meanwhile, Gus Edwards had a season-low 18% snap share.
Should fantasy managers expect to have Mitchell when the Ravens play the Browns on Sunday? One good sign that we'll play is that he practiced in full on Friday, though he is still listed as questionable for Week 10.
Keaton Mitchell Fantasy Football Outlook
Even if Keaton Mitchell plays, there's no guarantee that he'll bring much fantasy football value to the table. The Ravens have a crowded backfield, so finding touches for the rookie will be tough.
Hamstring injuries are also notably tricky, so even though Mitchell practiced, there's a real possibility he tweaks something before the game, which could mean limited or no playing time.
This feels like a backfield that's trending toward being really messy. Gus Edwards should still get short-yardage work and most of the red-zone attempts, but Mitchell's definitely earning some additional looks going forward. Still, with Hill cutting into his playing time, his fantasy value is capped. Week 9 was basically a ceiling game for Mitchell.
