A lot happened in week six that's going to change fantasy football for the next few weeks

or the whole season. Because you had a lot of injuries to quarterbacks and oh yeah, the best

player in fantasy football, Christian McCaffrey. So this is everything you need to know heading into

week seven when you're looking at the waiver wire. Let's get into it. And we'll start with that

situation with Christian McAfrey because yes, it's going to make his backups like Elijah Mitchell, who's available in 74% of leagues, look a lot more appealing now. The injury that McCaffrey

suffered was an oblique injury, and he was able to return to the game, but then left immediately

again the next play. And the early reports from some of the I trusted sources on Twitter,

like SportsMD Analysis here, says the average oblique injury is a one to two week recovery time it doesn't really impact performance all that much but the severity can vary and this means elijah mitchell

could be the next man up now mitchell himself missed the past two games with injury but if you were

to look at his snaps years before that he was the primary backup here in week one he played 15

percent of the snaps in week three played 36% of the snaps then he was injured for week four and five. You might say what happened in week two, while Cushing McCaffrey played 100% of the snaps that

week. And now in this past game in week six, this is what the snap shares look like.

McCaffrey was playing his majority of the snaps 36. He gets injured. It was Jordan Mason who sees

15, Elijah Mitchell, who sees seven. So now there's some question marks on is Jordan Mason going to be the guy because he played more

snaps when McCaffrey went down than Elijah Mitchell. But there's a chance that Elijah Mitchell

heading into this game was not 100% and was going to be limited either way and they weren't

expecting McCaffrey to miss the game. Because I want to trust a bigger sample of what Kyle

Shanahan has done with Elijah Mitchell as his running back. This is what Elijah Mitchell did as a sixth round rookie. In the same draft where they took a third round, Terry and Davis Price, you see

1,100 total yards here. He had in 11 games over 17 carries and had 100 plus yards in five

games. And before McCaffrey came to this team, Elijah Mitchell held the highest opportunity

share ever for a 49ers running back under Kyle Shanahan. And now heading into the next game, you're going to have a big game on Monday night football

of 49ers coming off a loss.
