Who Should I Start? Keaton Mitchell or Dylan Sampson

Saturday, October 4, 11:23 AM

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell is expected to be active for the first time this season against the Houston Texans. The third-year back has been a healthy scratch through the first four weeks, but he's finally set to make his season debut in Week 5. With Lamar Jackson (hamstring) sidelined, the Ravens are expected to lean heavily on the run game, especially with four running backs now on the active roster. The Texans have allowed the 15th-most fantasy points to running backs, and while Mitchell isn't projected to see a major workload right away, his activation adds excitement to Baltimore's backfield rotation. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on how he's utilized in this new-look offense, as his explosiveness could earn him a more significant role moving forward.

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson has shown skills in the passing attack this season, most recently hauling in five of his six targets for 29 yards in a Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots. Sampson will now take on the New York Jets on the road in Week 10 after enjoying his bye in Week 9. The Jets have struggled against the run this season, allowing the eighth-most fantasy points per game to running backs thus far. That being said, Sampson is tough to trust in fantasy as the Browns have been relying heavily on Quinshon Judkins in the rushing attack. Sampson will need to do his damage in the passing game to return fantasy value, something that is not a given in a game where the Browns are two-point road favorites against New York.
