News: 4 days agoMitchell did not get a touch on two offensive snaps Sunday against the Steelers.

Spin: The Ravens continue to slow-play Mitchell's reintroduction to the offense. Through two games, Mitchell has zero touches on three offensive snaps. He's been involved in the kick return game, but his role in the offense has been minimal since returning from a significant knee injury last December. The Ravens have two more games before the bye -- at the Chargers in Week 12 and home against the Eagles in Week 13 -- so it's possible that Mitchell will start to get more involved down the stretch. In the meantime, though, Mitchell is buried on the running back depth chart.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: As Mitchell enters his second pro season, eyes will be on his recovery from an ACL injury he suffered in Week 14 last season. When healthy, however, Mitchell should slot into a backup role behind Derrick Henry in Baltimore. Mitchell is an explosive runner with big-play chops, as 25.5% of his carries last season went for 10 or more yards. He can attack the perimeter and shift gears in space. While he saw only 11 targets last season, Mitchell has the traits to be schemed as a target for Lamar Jackson in the pass game, too. He fits as a potential deeper-league flex option once he returns to the field.
