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.

Trey Benson News
Wednesday, June 24, 8:58 AM
Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson had a golden opportunity to take over as his team's lead back in 2025 after Cardinals veteran running back James Conner suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 3. However, Benson himself then suffered a knee injury in Week 4 that ultimately ended his season as well. While Benson is expected to be fully healthy and ready to go for the start of 2026, the situation around him in Arizona has changed. The Cardinals signed running back Tyler Allgeier to a two-year contract in free agency and then drafted all-world running back prospect Jeremiyah Love third overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. Arizona also still currently has Conner on its roster, whom Benson has been unable to pass on the depth chart since he entered the league in 2023. A change in scenery could drastically alter Benson's dynasty outlook, but until that happens, his fantasy appeal is minimal.
