Who Should I Start? Keaton Mitchell or Isaiah Davis

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell suffered an ACL tear in his knee in his rookie year in 2023 but has shown the same speed and explosiveness in offseason workouts that he teased back in 2023 before his season-ending injury. Mitchell was still navigating physical and mental hurdles when he returned last November to average just 2.0 yards per carry in five regular-season games. The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec writes that the 23-year-old has looked quicker and more assertive during offseason workouts in recent weeks, which is a great development for the Ravens. Although Derrick Henry remains the RB1 workhorse in Baltimore, he's not getting any younger, and Mitchell is far too explosive not to be used in 2025. Mitchell has the most upside of the Ravens' backup RBs and would be a fine handcuff to Henry.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis carried the ball four times for 41 yards in a 32-20 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 18. Davis was impressive in a backup role behind Breece Hall, ripping off a 20-yard run and averaging 10.3 yards per carry. While fellow rookie Braelon Allen got most of the attention this season, Davis quietly carved out a role in the New York offense as the year went on. He remains blocked by Breece Hall and Allen on the Jets but he is a good player to stash in dynasty heading into the offseason.
