Elijah Mitchell Week 13 Outlook - 49ers at Seahawks

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 2nd 2021, 7:02am EST

The 49ers have been piling more and more work on Mitchell's plate, and the rookie has shown he can handle it. He's had 27 carries in each of the last two games. In a 34-26 win over Minnesota last weekend, Mitchell ran for 133 yards and a touchdown and also had 5-35-0 receiving, making him the RB4 for the week. Over his last five games, Mitchell has averaged 116.4 yards from scrimmage. He's in a potential smash spot this week against a Seattle defense that's giving up 24.8 fantasy points per game and just yielded 111 rushing yards to Antonio Gibson on Monday night. Mitchell is the RB5 this week. He's also a screaming value on DraftKings at $6,000.
