Back in 2023, the Ravens' run game got a jolt from a speedy 21-year-old running back named Keaton Mitchell, who ran for 396 yards and averaged 8.4 yards per carry in a six-game stretch before tearing his ACL in a December game in Jacksonville. Mitchell made it back from the injury to play in five games last season but never looked like himself.
This summer, he appears to have his speed back, and the Ravens are excited about it. Derrick Henry will be the primary ball carrier, of course, but Mitchell adds a different element to this run game. Expect him to have a role in the offense.

Fantasy Impact:
Mitchell exploded on to the scene a couple of years ago with all kinds of big plays. This summer, his highlights can be found all over X especially from recent days. We all know Henry is going to get a bulk of the run-game work for the Ravens, but last year Hill played a key role in the offense, and it's possible Mitchell takes over that role. You can likely get Mitchell very late in drafts if you want to take a chance.
