STACKED’s take
Mitchell handled 53.1% of backfield touches in Week 8; Giants allow 128.1 rushing yards per game.
Elijah Mitchell is a viable deep-league streamer against the Giants, especially if Saquon Barkley remains limited by his back and hamstring injuries. In Week 8, Mitchell handled 11 carries and six targets, accounting for 53.1% of Philadelphia's backfield opportunities compared with Barkley's 43.8%. He has drawn at least four targets in consecutive games, giving him a receiving role that can keep him involved even if Philadelphia falls behind. New York has allowed 128.1 rushing yards per game and just −0.02 EPA per rush through seven games, presenting a much more manageable matchup than an elite run defense. Mitchell's appeal comes from a potential double-digit carry workload plus receiving opportunities, with additional upside if Barkley's availability or workload declines.
