Elijah Mitchell Won't Play In Week 5
Elijah Mitchell Won't Play In Week 5
one year ago
San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. It will be the second straight game that Mitchell will miss due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 3. Bell-cow back Christian McCaffrey should once again see the lion's share of the backfield work in a showdown with Dallas this weekend, with second-year back Jordan Mason picking up the scraps behind him. In the Week 4 win over the Arizona Cardinals with Mitchell inactive, Mason played just 15 percent of the offensive snaps and carried the ball three times for 10 yards, adding a 13-yard reception. Mitchell is only worth stashing in standard-sized fantasy leagues as a handcuff to McCaffrey.
