But he had some nice downfield blocking on Agolors TD....

I'm so glad I didn't throw him out there. He wasn't getting enough touches and was running hot. I need to see 10+ touches in a few games before he sees my lineup.
Edit - There's still a chance he can pop a big one for those of you who trotted him out. Glgl

Brutal so far but I’m playing the Burrow owner so I’m trying to keep it in perspective.

Try having Andrews, Burrow, and Chase in your lineup.

Meanwhile, back on page 4…
Almost talked myself into starting him too with all the hype.
Can’t get a home run if you never get in the batters box.

Where were you on page 6 when we needed you?

Draft well, be a week ahead on waivers , and don’t get screwed by injuries and you can hit as many home runs as you want without being disappointed a guys usage didn’t go from 5% to 25% for no apparent reason

Hey I posted that after the game last week…
It’s not my fault the Shark Pool buried it in less than four days

Gus looks good.

Was really hoping for more than 4.1 points but I can’t have nice things.
He’s going to be so awesome next week when he’s back on my bench. Oh well, it was worth a try. Better to have this happen now than in the fantasy playoffs, provided I make it there to begin with.

That RB situation sucks. Hill gets a ton of 3rd down reps and Gus short yardage and goalline.
Tough situation to crack.

Gus looks solid as an RB2.

I guess they never needed to trade for Henry and knew it

Dunno, I'm not totally unhappy with Keaton's results. It was a long-shot flex I decided to use due to injuries/byes. He got about as many touches (9) as I expected. He's not going to break one every week. Next week he can go back to busting long ones on my bench.

At least Hill didn't get the ball as much as Mitchell. So that is some progress right?
He had a rough start to the game. If he had broke off a good run early he might have had more opportunity. But didn't.

His value is solely tied to the big play. The problem is he is more then capable of big plays. The bigger problem is that when he doesn't get that big play he looks horrible in your starting lineup.

If the used him between the 20s, and Gus in the red zone, everyone would be happy. Mitchell would get 80 yards and break some longer TDs. Gus will pound in TDs. Maybe thats where it gets to, but in dynasty, Mitchell seems like a strong hold for 2024. I dont regret bidding a lot for him.
Yes and his snap counts have gone form 18% to 24% to 36% the last week so it's trending up.
With no Andrews they might need to spend some time thinking of how to incorporate him more.
But until I see otherwise he'll be remaining on all my benches as he was this week except for one league I literally did not have anyone else.

As well he should.
These are reasons to try to hang on to Mitchell though and see if he keeps trending upward or not.
I played him over the Foreman/Herbert situation. In all likelihood he did just as well as they will do (unless Herbert is still out). I needed him to get 17 more yards and it would have been a solid day as we have a 4 pt bonus at 50 yds for RB's. If Gus wasn't in that last drive I think he would have gotten there.

I was in the identical situation - hoped for more, but this early in a potential "breakout" you are going to have to live with a couple duds.
The part everyone that owns him should focus on is that he has clearly leaped Hill already. Gus is a solid back, but he doesn't start for many teams in the NFL. Mitchell is going to get more and more usage, and within a couple weeks I think he will be a solid RB2. Gus will get the majority of the GL looks, but there is plenty of room in this backfield and Gus doesn't scare anyone.

Guy is going to be a high variance starter for fantasy purposes. Have him on several FFPC teams where I will probably keep him on my bench and hope for better days/depth. I started Gus in several spots... been really happy with him this year given ADP... but kept Keaton on the bench precisely to see what happened in this game. For me the situation is pretty clear. Gus is clearly the man but Keaton has supplanted Hill in the pecking order. Keaton is not going to get the volume Gus gets or the even close to the same number red zone looks (I think Keaton had one drive where is in at the top of the RZ but then Gus came in for the goal line work). Therefore, he will remain a low floor guy with a few boom games when he breaks one. In shallow bench leagues if I have better options I'd be dropping him and making him someone else's problem. Otherwise, he is a hold with deeper benches or with shallower benches where the waivers are dry for me.

It would take a Gus injury for me to consider starting Mitchell again this season. Gus is the guy near the goal line and usually still the guy before that as well. If there like the Browns where Mitchell played the Ford role and Gus the Hunt role I’d feel more comfortable with Mitchell. Gus does a little of both those roles. But yes if Gus does go down with an injury, I don’t think Hill takes those carries, I think Mitchell becomes the guy with Hill only there for a breather. On that potential alone Mitchell is worth holding.

I don’t think Mitchell would get goal line carries if Edwards went down, but he would see 3-4 more touches a game and that would be perfect. Ravens need to get him involved in passing game.

10.42 yards per touch and the Chargers give up the 6th most FF pts to RBs
under consideration for the Flex again

He’s carved out a role for himself. Still hard to rely upon but interesting hold for now.
Ravens’ bye is this week. Week 13. I hate when one thing is wrong because what if more things are wrong lol.

Isn't it fun rosterring Baltimore RBs? Gus the Bus scores 9 TDs in 6 games, Justice Hill gets 100% of the RZ touches in Week 12, and Keaton Mitchell gets the start and leads the team in snaps, attempts, RB touches and yards.
