Elijah Mitchell News
San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was playing hurt toward the end of his rookie season last year and said that he required a cleanup procedure on his knee. Mitchell expects to be fully healthy ahead of training camp, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned heading into draft day. The 23-year-old was San Francisco's primary running back when he was active, and despite knee, shoulder, rib and concussion injuries causing him to miss six contests, he finished with 207 carries for 963 yards and five touchdowns while adding 19 receptions for 137 yards and one more TD in 11 games played. Mitchell averaged 4.6 carries in his first nine games compared to 3.8 yards per carry in his final five games, so his injuries clearly took a toll at the end of the year.
San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams. He was limited at practice earlier in the week due to an ongoing knee issue. On Friday, the 23-year-old was a full participant and was removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game. He rushed for 85 yards on 21 carries in his previous game against the Rams. Mitchell will lead San Francisco's backfield and is expected to be heavily rostered with a $ 7,000 price tag on FanDuel for Sunday's main DFS slate.
San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was able to get in a limited session during Thursday's practice. Fantasy managers shouldn't be alarmed as the team is likely just managing his reps. He doesn't appear to be in any danger of missing the NFC Championship game against the Los Angeles Rams this weekend. Mitchell should be the workhorse back once again on Sunday. He has seen 20 or more touches in seven straight games. He'll be tough to ignore in DFS contests for this weekend.
