One reason the 49ers made the move for McCaffrey was that Mitchell got hurt... again. Over two years in the NFL, Mitchell has appeared in 16 of 33 games due to a variety of injuries, which included two stints on Injured Reserve last year -- he also missed the NFC Championship Game with a groin issue. When healthy, he's been effective, averaging 4.9 yards on 252 career carries, though his lack of involvement in the passing game portends an early-down role even if McCaffrey were to miss time.
As a standalone talent, Mitchell is a borderline top-50 fantasy back, as the 49ers would like to give him enough touches each week to keep McCaffrey fresh over a 17-game season. He'd be a savvy handcuff for CMC owners as well, though Mitchell has serious medical issues that could make him a wasted pick if he can't stay off the IR. It's a definite "buyer beware" situation.

McCaffrey, Deebo miss practice on Friday 49ers play Monday night By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 20, 6:40 pm

| | No practice again today for a second straight day for Christian McCaffrey (oblique), Deebo Samuel (shoulder) and Trent Williams (ankle). 49ers play Monday night in Minnesota. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: The 49ers face the Vikings Monday night, so they'll get in another practice on Saturday. It would be help their chances of playing if they can at least get in a limited session tomorrow. The backfield would be some mix of Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason if McCaffrey were to miss Stay tuned.

| CMC, Deebo hurt in Week 6 loss RB undergoing MRI on oblique; WR day-to-day with shoulder issue By: Doug Orth | Mon Oct 16, 6:30 pm

| | 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan gives injury updates on RB Christian McCaffrey (oblique/ribs) and WR Deebo Samuel (shoulder):
CMC is currently having an MRI.
Deebo will be day-to-day. (NFL Network - Clayton Holloway)
FFToday's Take: It appears as though Samuel should be expected to play against Minnesota next Monday night, but the same may not be true for CMC. McCaffrey tried to play through the injury before leaving the game for good in the fourth quarter. Oblique injuries are notoriously slow to heal, so the 49ers could exercise caution and sit him for at least a week in a game they should win. Assuming that ends up being the case, it sounds as though Shanahan still prefers Elijah Mitchell over Jordan Mason as the preferred top back if CMC is sidelined.

| Deebo Samuel expected to play Listed as questionable, ribs & knee By: Mike Krueger | Sun Oct 1, 7:10 am

| | 49ers’ WR Deebo Samuel, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a rib and knee injury, is expected to play vs. the Cardinals barring any pre-game setbacks, per source.
49ers’ WR Jauan Jennings (shin) and RB Elijah Mitchell are not expected to play Sunday vs. Cardinals. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Deebo got in a limited practice session on Friday after missing practice Wednesday and Thursday. You might ding his upside but otherwise feel comfortable with him in your starting lineup. Expect to see more of Jordan Mason as the backup running back behind Christian McCaffrey.

| Aiyuk expected to play, Deebo, Elijah Mitchell Questionable 49ers injury report By: Mike Krueger | Fri Sep 29, 6:28 pm

| | 49ers WR watch:
Will play: Brandon Aiyuk
Maybe will play: Deebo Samuel
Probably won't play: Jauan Jennings
Samuel's ribs aren't the issue. It's the knee injury, which cropped up after the Giants game, that's been problematic. He missed WED & THURS practices, was limited today. (Matt Barrows on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: It seems the 49ers will get Aiyuk back in the mix after missing Week 3 with a shoulder injury. We'll have to wait for confirmation later this weekend on Deebo and running back Elijah Mitchell who injured his knee in practice on Thursday. If he sits, Jordan Mason would elevate into the No.2 role behind Christian McCaffrey.

| Brandon Aiyuk not expected to play Week 3 Shoulder injury By: Mike Krueger | Thu Sep 21, 4:49 pm

| | The 49ers also elevated receiver Chris Conley and cornerback Shemar Jean-Charles from the practice squad. Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) is not expected to play against the Giants while cornerback Ambry Thomas (knee) is questionable for the game. (Matt Barrows on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: After injuring his shoulder in Week 2, the 49ers have decided to play it safe on a short week and sit one of their better offensive players. With Aiyuk out, Deebo Samuel might see some increased usage but don't be surprised if TE George Kittle and running back Elijah Mitchell get more work in this game.
