BALLER MOVE: Sit in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3
ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell has had an up-and-down rookie season. He started the year on injured reserve. Then, the rookie barely saw the field over his few weeks on the active roster. However, Mitchell has been impressive lately.
The rookie running back is the RB57 for the year, averaging 7.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He has 20 rushing attempts for 205 yards and two touchdowns, plus four receptions for 45 receiving yards this season.
More importantly, Mitchell has averaged 6.7 rushing attempts for 68.3 yards, 0.7 touchdowns, and 12.5 fantasy points over the past three weeks, scoring 13 or more twice. Furthermore, he has 36 receiving yards on only three receptions over the past three contests.
Meanwhile, the rookie gets an excellent matchup on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Chargers. They have surrendered 21.5 fantasy points per game to running backs this year, the eighth-most in the NFL. Furthermore, the Chargers have given up 124 rushing yards, 1.5 touchdowns, and 27.6 fantasy points per game to running backs over the past two weeks.
