BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Mounting injuries have lowered his value. This past weekend, Christian McCaffrey (oblique) suffered what was described as an oblique injury and was ruled out of the game. Elijah Mitchell had been inactive for the past two weeks due to a knee injury. After CMC left the game, Mason played 15 snaps, and Mitchell played just two. Mason played more snaps, ran more routes, and received more carries than Mitchell.
Non-CMC #49ers Week 6 RB Usage
- Jordan Mason: 27% snaps, 5 carries, no targets (27 yds, TD)
- Elijah Mitchell: 13% snaps 2 carries, no targets (-3 yards)— Michael F. Florio (@MichaelFFlorio) October 15, 2023
It's hard to know if that was because Mitchell still wasn't 100% or if his lack of availability allowed Mason to leapfrog him on the depth chart. Either way, both running backs should be added this week. Based on the utilization after CMC was hurt, fantasy managers might want to prioritize Mason, but it's likely this backfield would be a committee if CMC can't go. Even if Mitchell sees just 40-50% of the running back touches, he'd still have RB3 value.
