Elijah Mitchell To Miss At Least A Few Weeks
2 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell will undergo an MRI on his knee to determine the extent of his injury, but he's expected to miss at least a few games moving forward. The obvious waiver wire pickup is Jeff Wilson Jr., who will lead the 49ers' backfield. Behind Wilson, Tyrion Davis-Price and Jordan Mason are the next two guys on the depth chart. However, Deebo Samuel may take a lot of the rushing work, so this could be a tricky backfield to figure out in the wake of Mitchell's injury. Both Davis-Price and Mason are worth taking a flyer on in deep leagues. Wilson is the top waiver priority for Week 2 heading into a matchup with Seattle, who will be on a short week.
