BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues and as Handcuff
ROSTERED IN: 15% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell is finally healthy again, and made his debut in a Week 10 Thursday Night game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He played just 3% of snaps and didn't log a touch, though he did have one kick return. But Ravens head coach John Harbaugh indicated he'll get more involved soon.
John Harbaugh said Keaton Mitchell's role will continue to expand on offense after his first game back.

He has absolutely elite acceleration. It's nearly unrivaled in the NFL. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to get a ton of touches, but he can produce well with just a few. He's not in RB3/FLEX territory right now -- we'll need to see how much work he gets. But he's worth a bench spot simply for his upside.

He's a jack of the trade of sending defensive backfields into absolute chaos as he exploits small gaps in the coverage and bursts through them with frightening quickness. He's a nightmare matchup for linebackers, who simply cannot keep up with him. Even most NFL DBs have a hard time catching him.
In honor of Keaton Mitchell responding to my tweet, here's him out running every person on the football field for a touchdown 💜 #ravensflock pic.twitter.com/Fa3MCYtvro
