0:00.0 | Let me reel off some names for you. |
0:02.0 | Jamar Chase, Josh Jacobs, and C.D. Lamb. |
0:04.5 | All of these dudes are potential league winners in fantasy football, but they're obvious. |
0:08.5 | Anybody could have told you that. |
0:09.8 | However, I'm here to uncover six league winners that you need to draft who are not obvious. |
0:15.0 | And let's begin with Elijah Mitchell, who is currently the best handcuff, best backup running back in fantasy football. Now, despite this, |
0:21.6 | he goes in round 11, around guys who are in three-headed backfields like Khalil Herbert and |
0:25.3 | Jamal Williams. But if anything happens to Christian McCaffrey, Mitchell is a league winner and |
0:30.4 | here's why. This is the 49ers draft. They actually had nine total picks if you were to scroll here, |
0:35.4 | and they spent none surprisingly so for the first |
0:37.7 | time in a while on the running back position. And these are their most recent free agent running |

0:54.3 | Mason, who had a couple of nice games last year when Mitchell and McCaffrey were banged up, but |
0:58.3 | only one career game of over 10 touches. And then there's Terriond Davis Price, who was drafted |
1:02.9 | last year. There was rumors that he could be the RB1. Obviously, they didn't have McCaffrey |
1:06.6 | at the start of last season. What did he do? Only 34 touches as a rookie. Mitchell was still ahead of him. |
1:11.2 | And it's pretty clear why he was ahead of these guys because he's just better see for yourself. |
1:15.8 | In his first two seasons, he ranks 14th in yards per touch, ninth in fantasy points per touch, |
1:21.6 | an eighth in RB efficiency. That's all impressive. And remember what he did as a rookie. |
1:26.8 | He earned an 81% opportunity share in 2021, the third highest that season, but more importantly, |
