Who Should I Start? Miles Sanders or Keaton Mitchell

Dallas Cowboys running back Miles Sanders (ankle, knee) has been moved to season-ending injured reserve, according to Patrick Walker of the Dallas Cowboys. Sanders was limited in practice on Wednesday before missing Thursday's practice, but now his season is over as he deals with multiple injuries to his ankle and knee. The 28-year-old served as the primary backup running back to Javonte Williams over the first four games of the season before missing Week 5. Rookie Jaydon Blue was active in his place and should step into a larger role now with Sanders out. Blue shouldn't be in lineups for Week 6, but he is an interesting speculative pickup ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh acknowledged on Monday that the team needs to get running back Keaton Mitchell "more involved," according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Harbaugh said it was in the game plan in the Week 10 win over the Minnesota Vikings, but "they just didn't get to it." Harbaugh also mentioned that it's "tough to take plays away" from Derrick Henry. Mitchell played only 7% of the offensive snaps on Sunday compared to the 67% that Henry played and the 27% that Justice Hill was featured on. The 23-year-old Mitchell has had four carries apiece in each of the last three games, and he managed 31 rushing yards in the Week 10 victory. He only has two catches for 12 yards in his five games played in 2025. Mitchell had a 22-yard pickup on Sunday, and the third-year back has game-breaking abilities, but as long as Henry remains healthy, it's hard to see him getting enough weekly touches to give him standalone fantasy value.
