3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell carried 18 times for 107 yards and a touchdown during a 30-18 Week 7 loss against the Indianapolis Colts. The sixth-round rookie running back has been the best drafted in his class for the 49ers, as Trey Sermon has disappointed after the team traded into the third round to acquire the rookie running back out of Ohio State. Mitchell scored during the 49ers' opening drive, carrying six times for 69 yards, including a 14-yard rushing touchdown to close it out. While the team has its share of offensive woes, Mitchell is the rare exception alongside wideout Deebo Samuel. ,Mitchell can be valued as a RB2 heading into Week 8 against the Chicago Bears.--Matt MacKay - RotoBaller
