Davis Mattek on Elijah Mitchell

Mitchell leads backfield in touches; streaming option and waiver priority.

Elijah Mitchell is expected to lead the backfield in touches this week; Mattek emphasizes Mitchell's role as the primary back. Mitchell is on waivers in a 12-team, start-8 PPR league, which Mattek notes is unusual and recommends immediate pickup. Mattek also recommends using Mitchell as a streaming running back option, indicating he has viable fantasy value in Week 9. However, Mattek is forced to start Mitchell on a team missing every viable running back with no FAB left to spend, indicating he is a desperation play due to roster constraints rather than a preferred option.
