Elijah Mitchell News
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.

Kene Nwangwu News
Saturday, March 14, 7:12 PM
The New York Jets re-signed running back/return man Kene Nwangwu to a one-year, $2 million deal on Saturday, a source told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Nwangwu will receive $1 million guaranteed and can earn up to $3 million with incentives. The 28-year-old former fourth-rounder in 2021 out of Iowa State by the Minnesota Vikings didn't see a single carry in only two games with the Jets in 2024. He had a slightly bigger role last year, seeing 13 rushing attempts for 49 yards. Nwangwu only has 40 carries for 137 yards (3.4 yards per carry) and no touchdowns in his five years in the NFL, so fantasy managers shouldn't really expect much of him in 2026 behind Breece Hall, Braelon Allen, and Isaiah Davis. He hasn't been much of a factor on offense, but Nwangwu had 604 yards and a touchdown on 18 kickoff returns for Gang Green in 2025. The Jets will hope he can continue to excel on special teams as a returner.
