49ers Beat: RB Elijah Mitchell the clear RB1

Aug 02, 2022

For now, at least, [Elijah Mitchell is] the clear RB1.

Related players: Tyrion Davis-Price, Jeff Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

Wagoner went on to say in his tweet the 49ers have done a lot of work on the run game, which is often the case early in camp. He said Mitchell is noticeably bulked up a bit from last year to better handle the pounding the job requires and there were no shortage of touches for him early in camp. The knock on Mitchell last year was staying healthy, so don't be surprised if the combo of Davis-Price and Wilson get their chances as well. Still, Mitchell is the team's RB1 and should be a solid RB2 option for your team.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
