Elijah Mitchell Finishes With 53 Yards In Week 2 Win
3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell carried 17 times for 42 yards and caught both of his targets for 11 yards in a 17-11 Week 2 win against the Philadelphia Eagles. Mitchell was one of the hottest waiver wire pick ups after a strong 100-yard rushing performance in Week 1 but struggled against a stout Eagles defensive front. He came close to punching in a goal-line carry but fell just short, resulting in a disappointing finish for fantasy managers who inserted him into lineups this week. Mitchell did see 63.6 percent of snaps during their Week 2 win, which is encouraging ahead of a Week 3 matchup against the Green Bay Packers defense.
