Who Should I Start? Antonio Gibson or Keaton Mitchell

Monday, August 4, 11:22 PM

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson returned to practice on Wednesday, according to Brian Hines of SBNation. Gibson was dealing with an undisclosed issue, but everything appears to be all good with him health-wise. The 2020 third-round pick had a solid first season in New England in 2024, averaging 4.5 yards per carry and 9 yards per reception. With the addition of 2025 second-round pick TreVeyon Henderson, along with the presence of Rhamondre Stevenson, Gibson will likely be reduced to a backup role behind them.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell finds himself as a healthy inactive for the second straight week to open the season in Week 2 against the division-rival Cleveland Browns on Sunday. To begin the 2025 campaign, Mitchell has found himself as the team's RB4 behind Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, and Rasheen Ali. The 23-year-old has intriguing power and explosiveness, but he's had trouble staying on the field early in his career, playing only 13 games (two starts) since entering the league in 2023. He has averaged a healthy 6.9 yards per carry on his 62 rushing attempts with 426 yards and two touchdowns, but right now, he's off the fantasy radar altogether in redraft leagues. Mitchell's next chance to make his 2025 debut will be in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions on Monday, Sept. 22.
