Elijah Mitchell Limited In Practice Tuesday
3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was limited in the team's first practice of the week on Tuesday. Mitchell has been on the team's injury report since he missed three games with a knee injury in Weeks 14 through 16, but he should be fine to work as the team's lead back in the Divisional Round against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday. Since returning from the knee injury, the 23-year-old rookie has carried the ball 69 times for 300 rushing yards and one touchdown against the Texans, Rams and Cowboys. He also has one receiving touchdown in that span. Green Bay's defense allowed 109.1 rushing yards per game during the regular season (tied for 10th in the league) and weren't that friendly of a matchup for the position in fantasy, but Mitchell's volume alone makes him a solid DFS play at his $5,800 DraftKings price tag this weekend.
