3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell carried 21 times for 119 yards and caught two passes for 11 receiving yards and a touchdown during a 23-7 Week 17 win over the Houston Texans. The rookie returned after a three-game absence and looked fresh, exploding through running lanes and receiving over 20 touches, averaging an impressive 5.7 YPC. In the third quarter, he caught an eight-yard touchdown to earn the 49ers' first touchdown. Mitchell has been the best running back in a deep room for Kyle Shanahan and should continue to produce RB1 numbers against a tough Los Angeles Rams run defense in a huge Week 18 matchup.--Matt MacKay - RotoBaller
