Elijah Mitchell

Every player wants to play, but end of the day EM getting paid to be in the NFL.

Mitchell seems to be getting an increased number of carries tonight. Good for him!

Got 11 carries for 42 yards. Most he's had all season. I think he has the potential to do better than 16 carries for 52 yards in 3 games tho lol.

I couldn't find a thread about him so sorry if this is redundant.

That said, anyone got info on the 49ers use of him? I'm not really seeing him get touches at all. I know McCaffrey is good but I don't think he's good enough for Mitchell to not have at least ten touches five quarters into the season. I'm thinking they're gearing up to trade him. Thoughts?

McAffery is going to steal many of his touches

[CajunVic]

. . . McCaffery does not have to steal anything . . .

CMC will get tired or injured the way they are using him right now and Eli will get his shot again. He's sitting on my fantasy bench for that reason....

Shanahan is a great coach but he has a history of wearing down his RBs. He has Justec available to him who is really good as a bowling ball and a decoy but he'll continue to use the smallest RB on goalline situations. Boggles my mind

I thought he’d get between 5-10 touches last night; he got 14.

11 carries and 3 catches.

Elijah just needs to bide his time and stay healthy and get out from under his ridiculous 6th round rookie contract when the time comes. Hopefully with another team.

Had NIL been around for Eli we probably wouldn't have had him all of his college years. And he definitely would have been a higher draft choice from a bigger school. Sad but true.

He has a real shot to win a Super Bowl ring with his current team.

He’s cut from a different cloth. He wanted to be near his family according to several interviews I saw him have. As for draft status? Terry Bradshaw, Willie Rolfe both got picked pretty high up playing for the dog killers.
