Eagles Elevate Elijah Mitchell for Week 9

Saturday, November 7, 1:24 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles have elevated running back Elijah Mitchell to the active roster for Week 9 against the New York Giants. Mitchell had reverted to the practice squad following last week's game. The 28-year-old has suited up in two consecutive games for the Eagles, and Week 9 will be his third in a row. The veteran ball-carrier has totaled 14 carries, 45 rushing attempts, seven catches, and 26 receiving yards through his two games. His rushing workload and efficiency have been modest at best, but he has been a pleasant surprise in the passing game. Mitchell managed to log a 57% snap share and 15 touches last week, despite Saquon Barkley (hamstring, back) being active. Barkley doesn't carry an injury designation into Week 9, but we could still see the Eagles manage his workload and give Mitchell more touches. He ranks as a low-end RB3/flex option in leagues with 12+ teams.

Bam Knight News

Bam Knight Returns to Full Participation on Thursday

Thursday, November 12, 3:25 PM

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (concussion) was upgraded to full practice participation on Thursday and should be good to go on Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Knight should be active in Week 10, and with rookie first-round RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) still sidelined, Knight could be the Cardinals' preferred backfield option in a tough matchup against the Rams, with rookie quarterback Carson Beck making his NFL debut. Knight's impending return to Arizona's backfield is bad news for Tyler Allgeier, who was outproduced by Knight after Love's ankle injury. The 25-year-old fourth-year back had a season-high 15 carries for 80 yards and also caught two passes for 18 yards in the first meeting against the Rams on Oct. 18. Still, Knight should not be considered much more than a low-upside, touchdown-dependent RB3/flex, at best, if he returns this weekend. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 40 RB for Week 10.
