Elijah Mitchell Surpasses 100 Rushing Yards In Week 8 Win
3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell carried 18 times for 137 yards and a touchdown during a 33-22 Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears. This season, the sixth-round rookie running back has emerged as Kyle Shanahan's favorite running back, resulting in Mitchell rattling off consecutive 100-plus yard games with a touchdown. Mitchell is limited in the passing game in favor of JaMycal Hasty, but his heavy usage in the run-heavy offense is enough to keep him as a high-end RB2 with RB1 upside in most matchups.
