Elijah Mitchell Totally Uninvolved In Week 2 Win

Elijah Mitchell Totally Uninvolved In Week 2 Win

one year ago

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell made no contribution to the team's 30-23 victory over the Rams in Los Angeles on Sunday. Mitchell, 25, did not garner a single carry or target. The good news is that no other running back on the 49ers' roster besides starter Christian McCaffrey got any touches either. It's unlikely that Mitchell will continue his role as a ghost when the 49ers host the New York Giants on Thursday night, especially given the quick turnaround and Christian McCaffrey's heavy usage on Sunday. Even with the goose egg, fantasy managers who have the roster flexibility would be wise to hold on to Mitchell as one of the most valuable in-case-of-injury stashes at the running back position.
