No DeVonta Smith or Dontayvion Wicks. The offense will look similar to what it looked like last week from a personnel perspective. Question is, how much can Saquon Barkley give them? Beyond Barkley, it's Elijah Mitchell and Jaydon Blue. [Retweeted](

Mitchell, 28, was called up from the Eagles' practice squad ahead of the Week 7 game against the Cowboys and recorded three carries for 11 yards. Originally signed by Philadelphia on June 2 before being released on Aug. 11, he rejoined the practice squad on Oct. 16. A former sixth-round pick by the 49ers in 2021 who posted 1,100 scrimmage yards as a rookie, Mitchell has struggled to stay healthy in ensuing seasons and bounced around the league. The Eagles could use a similar arrangement with Mitchell in Week 8 if Barkley remains unavailable.

Elevated from practice squad Monday; discussed as Barkley backup if hamstring keeps him out. Community jokes about starting him in 2026 and PPR scams. However, multiple comments note he hasn't played since 2023 and Jaydon Blue (signed to active roster) may get more work. One comment suggests Mitchell strictly elevated (not signed to active roster like Blue). Debate: Mitchell vs. Blue vs. Jordan Mason (7-point floor). Some soft nostalgia for Mitchell from early fantasy careers.

Potentially a 1 week deep streamer in Elijah Mitchell (or Jaydon Blue) Tank Bigsby (if he’s back next week) might get a long look of Saquon misses time or is traded A bit of a mess in a bad O, but some might be in a pinch

Source recommends waiver wire bid for Mitchell as emergency running back option given Eagles backfield injuries (Tank Bsby out until week 9, Will Shipley out until week 11, Saquon Barkley dealing with hamstring and back injuries, Damen Pierce injured). Mitchell is last viable running back on Eagles roster despite limited talent profile (28 years old, only 28 games played in career, hasn't exceeded 83 opportunities since 2021). Source notes he may be a starting running back if desperate this week with byes, though capped ceiling due to bad Eagles offensive line and limited receiving ability.
