RB Keaton Mitchell, BAL (1 Viewer)

I still don't think I can find a way to hold onto this guy. With Henry in front of him I don't see a path to fantasy relevance.
I agree, you can only clog the roster with so many of these guys. Love Keaton’s talent, but you have Henry and Harbaugh loves Hill as well.
A path to relevance is easy to see. It may not happen but the path is easy to figure out.
Maybe that path can start to be realized after a bunch of healthy scratches....
 
With Henry and the Ravens not looking great,and Keaton showing what he can do 2 years ago and is now healthy, definitely worth a bench spot especially if you need rb help..
He could carve out a nice role and be active weekly even when Lamar is back.
 
I could add him in a dynasty league if I drop Jaylen Wright. Do it?
Absolutely, imo.
Well, it's not "absolutely", but thanks for the reply. I still haven't done it and may not. Mitchell has been a tease for awhile now.
Wright is such a disappointment that the Dolphins are rumored to trade him

That said, Mitchell has also been disappointing……so pick your poison
Well, if the trade rumors are true, couldn't that make Wright's situation better?

Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell expected to be active for the first time this season Sunday vs. Houston, per source.

Gives Baltimore and QB Cooper Rush a speed option out of the backfield.
A bit surprised they haven’t used him as a bit of a “lightning” back as he is absolutely dynamic. Might as well throw him in as returner as well. Doesn’t make any sense to me.
Hasn't he had a few boo boo's?

Was he not fully healthy to start the year? Maybe I missed something.

I don't pay too much attention to Keaton Mitchell. It seems to me that he's been hurt a lot, but I could be mistaken. There are Mitchell truthers out there for sure. He's roster in 5 of my 6 dynasty or devy leagues. I just don't happen to be one of them.

For sure. It could also mean the Dolphins simply think he sucks. But yeah, he needs a change of scenery — he’s 3rd on the depth chart, and his coach is getting fired mid-season, probably along with the GM. Who knows what the new Miami regime will think of him.

Ditto. Huge Mitchell fan. Wish someone in the know would come out with any info on what’s going on.

True, but Keaton Mitchell is buried on the depth chart as well. Hell, even ESPN has him 4th. Even if he's 3rd, I put more stock into Achane going down than I do Derrick Henry.

Very fair and logical Johnny. No disagreement. My view on Wright is probably illogical and colored by the emotion of being disappointed in him.

I'm proud of you. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem :) .......jk. Having said that, Wright has pretty much sucked so far.

A path to relevance is easy to see. It may not happen but the path is easy to figure out.
Maybe that path can start to be realized after a bunch of healthy scratches....
Next week maybe?

Not sure the point you are trying to make. Baltimore is a shambles right now. Nobody saw that happening. Mitchell needs a Henry injury. That still hasn't changed and is his path to relevency.

I guess if your original point was that an injury to Henry and for him to usurp Hill was easy to see I wasn't sure that was easy to see. Or maybe that would have been better typed out unless in every situation we can say it is easy to see that if the first 2 RBs on the roster are hurt it is easy to see that the RB3 would be the starting RB.

ETA: My post came right after he was going to be active on game day. So was responding to the fact that maybe he was going to be part of the game plan?

Maybe it's time for a little Thunder and Lightning.

I know it wld never happen,but Wonder what would happen if they made Henry a FB,and had Mitchell out there. That'd be interestingly fun to see.

Your original comment was you didn't see a path to relevancy. My response was the path is easy to see......a Henry injury. That hasn't changed.

I’m not arguing that.
Are you saying you view him as better than Hill even though Hill is getting more playing time than him?
My point recently was just that they activated him and maybe he would get playing time. That’s why I bumped it.

I am arguing that a Henry injury would have Mitchell being the main RB and Hill would still be the 3rd down guy and 3 minute guy. They would split more 50-50 than Hill taking over for Henry and being the 3rd down guy.
 
Anyone know if he was inactive or just not involved?
Pretty sure I recall the announcers commenting that he was in as one talked about his speed.
Thanks for the information!
haha must have noted his speed without the ball. I saw a complete 0 and was curious if he was a healthy scratch or what.
He was in the backfield and the comment was before the snap (which obviously must have then been a pass).

Makes more sense. They were commenting about it in general, not what they just observed.
