Baltimore Ravens tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. Mitchell-Paden was elevated for the season opener as well, but failed to record a stat during the game. He played a total of 22 snaps, but really didn't do much with his time on the field. He'll serve as depth at tight end with Isaiah Likely (foot) sidelined again. He's unlikely to bring much to the table, but the absence of Likely means increase the fantasy value of Mark Andrews for Sunday's contest.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 1 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The Ravens are in need of another tight end with Isaiah Likely (foot) ruled out for this game. Mitchell-Paden will head to the active roster and serve as depth behind Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar. He has yet to appear in an NFL game after spending the first three years of his career on the practice squad. Maybe, Mitchell-Paden can finally make an impact on the field this weekend. The 26-year-old won't be a streaming option as the third option on the depth chart.

Cleveland Browns tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden turned in a solid effort in his team's 27-12 preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday. Mitchell-Paden led the team in receiving, hauling in all four of his targets for 59 yards in the loss. The undrafted second-year tight end out of Florida Atlantic has been productive in Cleveland's two preseason games, catching seven passes for 79 yards thus far. While David Njoku has the No. 1 TE job locked down in Cleveland, Mitchell-Paden will look to carve out a reserve role in the team's offense once the regular season starts. For now, he is worth consideration in preseason DFS contests in Week 3 of the preseason when the Browns face the Seattle Seahawks.
