Keaton Mitchell

Rasheen Ali will continue as the Ravens third-down back in the meantime, per Harbaugh. Keaton Mitchell is probably a better second Ravens back to roster at this point for most fantasy leagues than Ali. Hill can be dropped in all shallow formats.

Mitchell rewarded fantasy managers bold enough to start him with an 18-yard touchdown sprint late in the third quarter. Those fantasy managers should likely take their chips off the table after this game. Even with Justice Hill out this week, Mitchell split the backup duties with Rasheen Ali. Ali easily out-snapped Mitchell and saw four carries, though three of them came on the team's final drive. Despite scoring in Week 13, Mitchell isn't really on the FLEX radar heading into a Week 14 matchup with the Steelers.

The Ravens placed RB Justice Hill (neck) on IR. He was already ruled out for tonight's game vs. the Bengals but will now be sidelined at least through Week 16. Hill can be dropped in all fantasy leagues. His absence should mean a little extra work for RB Keaton Mitchell, although RB Rasheen Ali also got some of Hill's pass-catching work when he missed Week 11.

Ravens RB Justice Hill (neck) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Bengals. RBs Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali basically split Hill's pass-catching role when he missed Week 11. Mitchell carried six times for 31 yards and caught two of three targets for 23 yards in that one. He's still not a viable play in season-long leagues, but Mitchell is in play as a flier in Thanksgiving daily contests.

Hill was a mid-week addition to the injury report, going from a normal practice on Monday to a DNP because of the neck issue on Tuesday. He previously missed time with a toe injury. Keaton Mitchell will continue to operate as the change-of-pace back this week. Mitchell is worth a look in large-field DFS contests for the Thanksgiving slate, but redraft managers can leave him on the waiver wire for now.
