Who Should I Start? Keaton Mitchell or Devin Neal

Saturday, November 15, 7:49 AM

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell is off the injury report and ready to go for Week 11 after being a limited participant on Wednesday due to a knee issue. The speedy back only saw seven percent of the snaps in their Week 10 win over the Minnesota Vikings, but he looks to be in line for some more snaps now that Justice Hill (toe) has been ruled out for their game against the Cleveland Browns. Head coach John Harbaugh already talked about wanting to get Mitchell more involved, so he could serve as the main change-of-pace back behind Derrick Henry now. The Browns, however, are one of the toughest matchups for running backs as they give up just 16.79 fantasy points per game to backfields and have only allowed three touchdowns on the ground and one through the air to the position. That gives Mitchell more of a RB4 projection who would only serve as a flex start in very deep leagues.

New Orleans Saints running back Devin Neal logged three carries for 11 yards and caught his lone target for one yard in the Week 9 loss to the Rams. With Alvin Kamara officially questionable due to an ankle injury ahead of Week 10, Neal could be in line for additional work. The rookie was a sixth-round pick after an impressive career at Kansas, where he set program records with 4,343 rushing yards and 49 touchdowns. However, he's seen limited action in the NFL, totalling just six carries for 21 yards and four receptions for 12 yards. Even if he draws the start against the Panthers, Neal should remain on waivers in most formats, though he could hold deep-league appeal if Kamara is sidelined.
