Elijah Mitchell

Kyle Shanahan says the 49ers have to do a better job with their RB rotation — Elijah Mitchell didn't see any carries and Shanahan said that was NOT the plan.

McCaffrey had 23 touches in Week 2 and fantasy owners rejoiced again. The 49ers likely feel that isn't a pace McCaffrey can sustain over a full season. While Mitchell has proved to be a capable back, he has just five carries for 10 yards, all coming in Week 1. He's still a valuable handcuff to CMC, but the standalone value isn't there yet.
