Elijah Mitchell 

Week One, Hit 

The excitement of Mitchell’s 19/104/1 week one performance was measured with immediate hesitations due to Kyle Shanahan’s track record of rotating running backs and the looming return of Trey Sermon. The latter never really happened. Jeff Wilson became somewhat of a threat to Mitchell’s workload. Ultimately, though, Mitchell was hampered by injuries. He finished the year as the RB28 but RB18 based on points per game. Despite his only dropping seven points in week two, this waiver claim was a hit.
