3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers' second-year running back Elijah Mitchell emerged as the team's lead back last year, leapfrogging third-rounder Trey Sermon. However, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reported that fantasy managers might need to exercise caution with Mitchell due to the team featuring a different lead back in each of head coach Kyle Shanahan's five years leading the team. They drafted a running back in the third round, selecting Tyrion Davis-Price of LSU. Davis-Price will join Mitchell, Sermon, JaMycal Hasty, and Jeff Wilson Jr. in a once again crowded 49er backfield. Shanahan has spoken highly of Davis-Price, indicating he may see ample snaps to take the rushing burden off of wide receiver Deebo Samuel. "The more guys you can add the better, but kind of the physicality that he brings gives you a chance to have a very physical one-two punch," Shanahan said. "I thought Deebo helped us do that towards the end of last year bringing that in, but you don't want that to be just your one-two punch. You got to bring in some other backs to do that." Mitchell would likely have a much higher ADP if not for the risks of Shanahan pulling some surprise personnel moves.--Dessy John
