3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) was able to practice in full on Friday and was removed from the final Week 5 injury report. Mitchell will play this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals after missing the last two games. Fellow rookie Trey Sermon didn't do a whole lot with lead-back duties in Mitchell's absence, but he was more productive in the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks (19 carries for 89 yards). Mitchell was the lead back in Week 2 after Raheem Mostert was lost for the season, but it's impossible to predict how head coach Kyle Shanahan will split the workload between Mitchell and Sermon this weekend, making both rookies shaky RB3/flex options for fantasy managers.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
