BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 58% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Mitchell was activated from injured reserve before San Francisco’s Week 10 matchup with the Chargers. This provided a path for the second-year back to make his first appearance since the 49ers’ season opener.
Mitchell resurfaced in a backfield that has been transformed during his absence as he is no longer San Francisco’s unquestioned lead back. This was ensured when the 49ers secured Christian McCaffrey in their blockbuster trade with Carolina. The former Panther has now accumulated 41 carries, 170 rushing yards, 17 targets, and 118 receiving yards during his three matchups with the 49ers.
However, Kyle Shanahan was also incentivized to involve Mitchell in San Francisco's distribution of touches upon his return, as Mitchell surprisingly led the team in carries (18), and rushing yardage (89) in Week 10. Mitchell may not operate with a similar workload during upcoming matchups as it is unlikely that the 49ers would send four draft picks to Carolina in order to deploy him in a timeshare.
Shanahan will still garner enough touches to operate as a resource on your rosters. He could also deliver RB1 output if McCaffrey would become sidelined for any reason.
