Elijah Mitchell vs. Giants — Pass-Catching Upside in a Shorthanded Backfield
With Dameon Pierce recently landing on injured reserve, Mitchell has stepped up into an active depth role behind Saquon Barkley. Over his last two games for Philadelphia, Mitchell has handled 14 carries and hauled in seven receptions on 10 targets, carving out meaningful passing-down work.
Our weekly projections list him at zero fantasy points pending official confirmation of his gameday elevation, keeping him primarily as a bench stash. However, with the Eagles entering as home underdogs in a low 39.5-point scoring environment, Mitchell profiles as a viable deep-league play whose steady pass-catching involvement offers emergency PPR value.

Chris Rodriguez vs IND — Goal-Line Upside in Favorable Script
Rodriguez continues to serve as the direct backup behind Bhayshul Tuten in Jacksonville's backfield rotation. In prior weeks, he demonstrated utility as a goal-line specialist, carving out short-yardage work and occasional series to spell the starter. With the Jaguars entering as heavy home favorites against a struggling Indianapolis squad, game flow could easily tilt toward a run-heavy approach that keeps Rodriguez involved.
Our weekly projection sits at 7.0 fantasy points, estimating roughly 7 carries for 34 rushing yards with minimal involvement through the air. Given that he is rostered in just 21% of leagues and started in 4%, Rodriguez remains a touchdown-dependent bench option in standard formats, though deep-league managers hunting a goal-line plunge can stash him.
