2025 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Keaton Mitchell in 2025. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
RANKS
$Signed a three-year, $2.56 million contract with the Ravens in May of 2023.
Not tendered by Ravens
RBFree Agent
March 9, 2026
The Ravens aren't placing a tender on Mitchell, allowing him to become an unrestricted free agent, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Mitchell went undrafted back in 2023, which means his original-round tender ($3.52 million) as a restricted free agent wouldn't have entailed any draft compensation. The Ravens opted it against, even though Mitchell averaged 5.1 carries for 30.3 yards (5.9 YPC) over the final 11 games of last season. Derrick Henry will return as Baltimore's lead runner, while passing-down specialist Justice Hill has been mentioned as a potential cap casualty (something that may or may not change with Mitchell becoming a free agent). Meanwhile, Fowler mentions the Giants as a potential suitor for Mitchell.

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.
An undrafted free agent out of East Carolina, Mitchell signed on with the Ravens this spring and it was an interesting fit that seemed to put him in position to crack the roster with a good camp. Mitchell has some legitimate talent; he averaged 6.9 yards per carry over his final two seasons at East Carolina (375 attempts) and was a threat in the passing game as well with 49 catches on 68 targets for 505 yards. Shortly before training camp, though, Baltimore added veteran Melvin Gordon to the backfield. Whereas Mitchell once looked like he only had to beat out Justice Hill for the final running back spot on the roster, now it would likely take some tough injury luck elsewhere in the backfield for Mitchell to open the year anywhere but the practice squad. He has the type of speed (4.37) and pass-catching ability to bolster some deep dynasty value, but his chances of making an impact in 2023 are minimal.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Drew interest at trade deadline
RBBaltimore Ravens
December 8, 2025
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.
