2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mitchell missed the first half of the 2024 season while completing his recovery from a knee injury, and once he did join the Ravens' backfield, there was little work for him behind workhorse Derrick Henry. Mitchell didn't get a carry until Week 17, and he wasn't used on offense at all during Baltimore's playoff run. He did show flashes of his big-play potential as a kick returner and receiver however, and should the 31-year-old Henry begin to break down in 2025, Mitchell might be better positioned than Justice Hill or Rasheen Ali to step into the lead role.

MRI yields encouraging news
An MRI on Mitchell's knee came back clean after he exited Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Steelers, and the running back's injury is viewed as minor, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Before leaving early Sunday, the explosive Mitchell made an impact during his limited time on the field, contributing 76 rushing yards and a touchdown on six totes while bringing back three kickoffs for 72 yards. Though Mitchell has proven to be a potent complementary piece out of the backfield over his first three NFL season, durability is becoming a growing concern for the 23-year-old. Mitchell previously tore the ACL in his left knee back in December 2023, but fortunately, his latest knee issue appears to be less significant. The Ravens are categorizing Mitchell as day-to-day, leaving the door open for him to potentially be available this Sunday in Cincinnati.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Few players' 2023 seasons were as anguishing to witness as Mitchell's, because the feel-good story of the undersized, undrafted speed demon who rose to improbable stardom gave way to the story of Mitchell's gruesome, season-ending knee injury. Although reported as a mere ACL tear, Mitchell's injury looked much worse than that and may ultimately be revealed to have entailed additional damage. The timing of the injury (Dec. 17) presents him with a challenge to be ready for Week 1, and even if that happens he'll just be a change-of-pace runner behind offseason addition Derrick Henry.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Drew interest at trade deadline
Mitchell was the subject of trade inquiries from multiple teams at the trade deadline, but the Ravens rebuffed the offers, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
That decision has paid dividends for Baltimore in recent weeks, as Mitchell scored a touchdown in Week 13 and broke free for a 55-yard run in Week 14, although he also picked up a knee injury in Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh. Over his three seasons in the NFL, the undrafted back has only 93 total carries in 22 regular-season games but has averaged 7.0 yards per carry, making him a dangerous change-of-pace option behind Derrick Henry. Mitchell will be a restricted free agent this offseason, but given the Ravens' reluctance to trade him, it seems likely that they will attempt to bring him back in 2026.
