BALLER MOVE: Do Not Add in Any Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 7% of Yahoo Leagues
ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell suffered a torn ACL late last season. Unfortunately, the second-year pro hasn’t played this year, recovering from the injury. The former undrafted free-agent running back had a limited role in 2023. Yet, he was an explosive playmaker.
Mitchell is likely a few weeks away from coming off the Physically Unable to Perform list. Therefore, the second-year running back likely won’t have fantasy football value until after Thanksgiving. However, Mitchell is doing all he can to get Derrick Henry to dance after scoring touchdowns.
Laser focused on the mission 🤣 Dancing can wait

Fantasy players have no reason to add Mitchell off the waiver wire. The second-year running back is coming off a significant injury and hasn’t practiced in nearly a year. More importantly, he is unlikely to see enough touches in a crowded backfield with Henry dominating on the ground and Justice Hill in the air.
