Elijah Mitchell To Spell McCaffrey In Season Opener

Elijah Mitchell To Spell McCaffrey In Season Opener

one year ago

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell enters Week 1 at the Pittsburgh Steelers as the clear No. 2 to starter Christian McCaffrey. In 2022, Mitchell ran for 279 yards and two touchdowns during an injury-riddled season. He did not play at all in the preseason and should be healthy and fresh. Mitchell is a quality back and should be rostered in most formats in case of an injury to McCaffrey. Against Pittsburgh, Mitchell may be playable as an RB4 or flex in the deepest leagues but is better left on the bench in all others.
