Elijah Mitchell Cleared For Sunday's Game
3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) wasn't listed on the final injury report for wild-card weekend and will play on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. With a couple high-priced running backs looking like potential busts this weekend, Mitchell is one of the better value plays at the position at a price tag of $5,700 at DraftKings. The impressive rookie has been San Francisco's unquestioned featured back when he's been healthy, and the 49ers are expected to lean on their ground game yet again as they look to upset Dallas on the road. Mitchell has gone over 100 yards rushing in five of his 11 games and has seen double-digit carries in nine of his 11 games in his first year in the NFL.
