Who Should I Start? Keaton Mitchell or Emanuel Wilson

Thursday, December 11, 6:27 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell (knee) was upgraded to a full participant in Thursday's practice session after being limited on Wednesday. Mitchell is coming off his most efficient performance of the season on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, rushing for 76 yards on six carries. The speedy running back exited early in the game due to a knee injury, but it's been considered minor after the MRI results came back clean. Mitchell's full participation on Thursday is a good sign that he should be good to go for the Week 15 divisional matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Mitchell's role has been limited in Baltimore's offense, even with Justice Hill (neck) on Injured Reserve, but he still holds value as a high-upside handcuff to Derrick Henry.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has spent the majority of the 2025 season in a backup role to his superstar teammate, running back Josh Jacobs (knee). However, Jacobs is battling a lingering knee injury that has held him out of practice on both Wednesday and Thursday heading into the team's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. In the one game that Jacobs has missed so far this season, Wilson recorded 125 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 30 touches against the Minnesota Vikings. If Jacobs were to miss additional time, Wilson would immediately vault into being a clear starting fantasy running back. Along with the potential for playing time, Wilson has proven himself capable of solid production. Across 37 career NFL games, he's averaged 4.6 yards per carry and scored eight touchdowns. Until Jacobs proves to be fully clear of the knee injury that has plagued him since Week 11, Wilson is a must-roster player with league-winning upside.
