Former San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell is signing a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact
While Isiah Pacheco dealt with injury in 2024 and struggled to return to form, the next option in K.C. was bringing in Kareem Hunt. Looking ahead to 2025, the Chiefs are building in new insurance plans, bringing in a back who has proven to be an efficient runner when given the chance. However, Mitchell comes with his own injury history, including a season-ending injury in 2024 (hamstring), an MCL sprain in 2022, and multiple others. The deal is worth $3.5 million, per Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz.
