Raven’s RB Keaton Mitchell says he’s “back better than when I first got here.”
Fifteen carries is all Mitchell could muster in 2024 after tearing his ACL in December of 2023. The 23-year-old looked like a rising star on a team that needed explosiveness at the running back position late in his rookie season. Since then, Mitchell has been shelved, and the team has brought in and extended Derrick Henry.
Despite the King atop the Ravens’ depth chart, Mitchell should mix in with Justice Hill (a good player in his own right) to spare the aging Henry. If you don’t remember, Mitchell had a six-game stretch where he tallied 489 total yards on just 56 touches and looked like he could be a real weapon beside Lamar Jackson.
This news shouldn’t impact his redraft stock, but Mitchell might look nice at the bottom of dynasty rosters. He’s a decent flyer with moderate upside until we see him on the field.
