Tyrion Davis-Price Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers running back Tyrion Davis-Price has earned himself a spot on the 53-man roster. The former third-round pick is coming off a disappointing rookie campaign. He rushed 34 times for 99 yards and was held without a touchdown in six games with the 49ers last season. He's expected to be a depth option alongside Jordan Mason (foot) in the backfield. The expectation is that Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell will take a majority of the snaps to begin the season. It's worth noting that the 49ers had plenty of injury problems in the backfield last season. That being said, Davis-Price might end up having a role if the backfield doesn't stay healthy. For now, Davis-Price can be ignored in fantasy formats with the starters healthy.

The Athletic's Matt Barrows writes that San Francisco 49ers running back Tyrion Davis-Price has made a big second-year leap heading into the 2023 season and put on 14 pounds in the offseason after being a third-round selection a year ago. Davis-Price has been quick and explosive and is a much better pass-catcher than he was as a rookie. However, he's behind Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell on the team's RB depth chart, and he might also be behind Jordan Mason. Barrows thinks Davis-Price is still worth a late-round fantasy selection because of how excellent a runner he is. Mason dominated playing time with the first-team offense in the team's preseason finale on Friday night, so the 22-year-old Davis-Price might be ticketed for the practice squad to begin the regular season.

San Francisco 49ers running back Tyrion Davis-Price led his offense in rushing for the second time in three preseason games Friday night. Davis-Price carried 10 times for 61 yards in the 23-12 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He also chipped in 16 yards receiving on two of three targets. While Davis-Price looked great with the 49ers' second unit, his depth-chart competitor Jordan Mason took all of the first-team snaps. Mason, like Davis-Price, averaged over six yards per carry in the game. Davis-Price, a 2022 third-round selection, averaged 2.9 yards per carry in limited action last season. Needing at least one injury in front of him to become fantasy-relevant, Davis-Price is not a lock to make the 49ers Week 1 roster.
