3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) will not practice on Wednesday, but he will be available to play against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in the wild-card game. The 49ers are just managing Mitchell's knee injury that kept him out for three games near the end of the regular season. The 23-year-old has been the team's bell-cow back when he's been healthy in his rookie season, and he handled 42 carries for 204 yards while catching two passes for 11 yards and a touchdown in the final two games of the regular season. The Cowboys have been a tough matchup for opposing RBs in fantasy this year, but Mitchell's expected volume alone should make him a strong DFS choice at his attractive $5,700 DraftKings salary for wild-card weekend.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
