Elijah Mitchell Surprisingly Heavily Involved
2 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell returned from the injured reserve and made a splash on Sunday. The 24-year-old had only played in one game until Sunday, but looked like he was in mid-season form. Mitchell rushed 18 times for 89 yards with one reception through the air as well. It was shocking to see Mitchell get this significant of a workload in this first back game. He saw more carries than Christian McCaffrey, which probably won't happen every week. This is a great sign for fantasy managers who were holding onto Mitchell through the injury. Possibly, Mitchell can have some low-end RB2 value heading into their Week 11 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.
