Elijah Mitchell To Be Featured Back On Sunday
3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell is expected to be the featured option out of the backfield on Sunday against the Eagles. After Raheem Mostert (knee) suffered a season-ending injury shortly into the Week 1 matchup against the Detroit Lions, Mitchell came through, finishing with 104 yards and a touchdown off 19 attempts. The latest development makes him a must-start in virtually all fantasy formats in Week 2, and he will likely be a popular DFS option as well. Trey Sermon, who was a healthy scratch to begin the year, is also projected to be available. However, after the recent update, it's probable he won't get much work against Philadelphia, so it's best fantasy managers avoid him altogether.
