3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (concussion) has officially been ruled out for Week 15 against the Atlanta Falcons. Mitchell hasn't been able to clear the league's concussion protocol and will miss his second straight game. Jeff Wilson Jr. should be the primary running back for the second straight week, although he'll likely share the backfield with wide receiver Deebo Samuel and JaMycal Hasty. With Mitchell out last week, Wilson had 13 carries for 56 yards (4.31 yards per tote) and wasn't involved in the passing game at all. The Falcons have been a top-10 matchup for RBs all year in terms of fantasy points per game, but Wilson will be more of an RB3/flex as he shares touches along the way.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
