Week 8 Elijah Mitchell Fantasy Start or Sit 2026

Should you start or sit Philadelphia Eagles running back Elijah Mitchell in Week 8 fantasy football? With Saquon Barkley's injury status uncertain, Mitchell could see an expanded role against the Washington Commanders. PFN's Ian Cummings breaks down Mitchell's potential workload, his recent performance, and how Philadelphia's injury situation could create fantasy opportunities. Mitchell recently returned to the Eagles and recorded three receptions for 23 yards against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 7. With Barkley dealing with hamstring and back injuries and Damien Pierce on injured reserve, Philadelphia's backfield could look very different this weekend. Could Mitchell become a valuable fantasy streamer if Barkley is unavailable? Will Philadelphia's pass-heavy offense create additional opportunities in PPR formats? Cummings examines Mitchell's projected role, matchup, and Week 8 fantasy outlook to help managers make their lineup decisions. Are you considering Elijah Mitchell as a Week 8 fantasy streamer?
