Who Should I Start? Keaton Mitchell or Dylan Sampson

Wednesday, November 26, 8:55 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell is set to see a bit more action in Week 13 after Justice Hill (neck) has officially been ruled out. In Week 12, Mitchell finished with more touches (3) than Hill (0) despite the fact that he had a 19% snap share compared to Hill's 25%. The young speedster has been more efficient and explosive with his touches this season, and more action against a vulnerable defense should mean great opportunities. The Cincinnati Bengals rank last against opposing backfields and have given up a total of nine touchdowns on the ground and five through the air to running backs. While this all equates to good things for Mitchell, he's still projected outside the top 50 and would be a very risky flex option, even in deeper leagues.

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson turned in one of his team's best plays in a Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders when he hauled in a 66-yard touchdown pass from Shedeur Sanders in the fourth quarter. While he hasn't seen a consistent workload this season, Sampson has shown chops in the passing game, catching 23 passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games. In Week 13, Sampson will look to stay hot at home against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers have been solid against the run this season, allowing just the 19th-most fantasy points per game to running backs. While not a safe fantasy play, Sampson sets up as an RB5 with some flex appeal for Week 13's matchup.
