Who Should I Start? Elijah Mitchell or Ray Davis

The San Francisco 49ers placed running back Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, and his 2024 season is over. Mitchell, who was projected as the team's RB2, has dealt with injury problems throughout his career, having never played more than 11 games in a year. Jordan Mason is now expected to be the 49ers' RB2 behind Christian McCaffrey (calf) with Mitchell sidelined. Rookie Isaac Guerendo and Patrick Taylor Jr. will also see an uptick in playing time behind McCaffrey and Mason with Mitchell now done for the year.

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis rushed 11 times for 63 yards and a touchdown in the team's win over the San Francisco 49ers. He added one catch for four yards. The rookie saw an increase in usage because of wintry conditions in Buffalo. Davis scored the team's first touchdown late in the first quarter as players tried to find their footing. He later helped run out the clock in a 25-point victory. Davis' uptick in touches is a one-week blip and fantasy managers shouldn't rely on him moving forward. He does, however, remain an important bench stash should James Cook suffer an injury.
