Elijah Mitchell had himself a day in his Week 1 matchup against the Lions on Sunday. Mitchell rushed 19 times for 104 yards, and he also scored a touchdown.
Fantasy Impact: Elijah Mitchell welcome to everyones radar! We have to say, we are a bit surprised by this one, but when Trey Sermon was a healthy scratch, and Raheem Mostert went down with a knee injury, it became the Elijah Mitchell show. In fact, JaMychal Hasty only got one carry in this contest. So it is clear that Kyle Shanahan trusts Mitchell, and there are even rumors that Mitchell beat out Trey Sermon as the #2 back this preseason. With Mostert questionable to play in Week 2, it is likely that the 49ers roll with Mitchell and Sermon. We don’t know what the snap count will be, but we do recommend picking up Mitchell just in case he carves out a big role for himself this season.
