Elijah Mitchell Misses First Practice Wednesday
Elijah Mitchell (knee) will not practice on Wednesday, but he will be available to play against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in the wild-card game. The 49ers are just managing Mitchell's knee injury that kept him out for three games near the end of the regular season. The 23-year-old has been the team's bell-cow back when he's been healthy in his rookie season, and he handled 42 carries for 204 yards while catching two passes for 11 yards and a touchdown in the final two games of the regular season. The Cowboys have been a tough matchup for opposing RBs in fantasy this year, but Mitchell's expected volume alone should make him a strong DFS choice at his attractive $5,700 DraftKings salary for wild-card weekend.
