Elijah Mitchell News
Tuesday, December 23, 11:37 PM
The New England Patriots signed veteran free-agent running back Elijah Mitchell to their practice squad on Tuesday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Mitchell quickly latches on with another team after the Kansas City Chiefs waived him last weekend. Patriots rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson suffered a concussion in Sunday night's win over the Baltimore Ravens and is in danger of missing the Week 17 game against the New York Jets, so the Pats will bring in Mitchell to give the team more RB depth at the end of the regular season. If Henderson doesn't clear the league's concussion protocol by this Sunday, Mitchell could be elevated to the active 53-man roster to serve as the RB3 behind Rhamondre Stevenson and D'Ernest Johnson. Unless Stevenson also misses time with an injury, Mitchell is unlikely to become a major contributor in New England's offense. He was active for just one game with KC this year and didn't have a single rushing attempt.

Devin Neal News
Saturday, May 30, 8:13 AM
At times in his 2025 rookie campaign, New Orleans running back Devin Neal was the top option on the team, though the fact that his two rushing touchdowns led all Saints running backs adds further context to the level of competition he was up against. New Orleans spent big to land Travis Etienne Jr. in free agency, and with veteran Alvin Kamara still currently on the roster after missing six games in 2025, Neal's path to a meaningful workload is sufficiently blocked heading into his second season. Still yet to turn 23, he is RotoBaller's dynasty RB70, and should the Saints find a way to move on from Kamara before the start of the season, Neal could see a brief value spike and a potential sell window. For the time being, though, he remains a dynasty hold with little standalone value but a chance to position himself as a top fantasy handcuff.
