Factoid: Tyrion Davis-Price
At what point do we give up on Tyrion Davis-Price? The 49ers selected him in the third round, but he was underwhelming as a rookie. The team nowadays has three other backs who look a lot better. more »

Fantasy News: Jeff Wilson
To me, Jeff Wilson looks like the best of the waiver wire possibilities this week. The injury to Eli Mitchell will elevate him into a larger role, and Wilson has been a capable replacement in previous seasons. more »

Around the NFL: Backup running backs

Around the NFL: Jeff Wilson
When it's time to start throwing late-round picks at running backs down the depth chart, how about Jeff Wilson? He's in a situation that has long been productive for players at the position, and he's delivered when given the chance. No reason to think it can't happen again. more »

Around the NFL: Raheem Mostert
Injury-prone is a word that probably gets tossed around too frequently. Football is violent game where everyone gets hurt on occasion, and there's plenty of luck involved in staying healthy. But I think it can be reasonably applied to some players, which brings us to Raheem Mostert. more »

49ers RB Mitchell injury “a little worse” than expected
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Wednesday that running back ELIJAH MITCHELL’s injury is “a little worse than a stinger”, which the team originally suspected.

Factoid: Here we go again?
When the 49ers used their sixth-round pick on Elijah Mitchell, I jokingly suggested that we should all be keeping an eye on him. Kyle Shanahan’s track record with lightly regarded running backs, after all, is pretty stellar. With the first week of the season in the books, this is now looking a lot more possible. more »

Rookie RB Sermon should have role in 49ers backfield
San Francisco rookie running back TREY SERMON has the vision, patience, and burst to be a perfect fit in Kyle Shanahan’s outside zone system. Sermon also brings a pass-catching dynamic that… More has been missing from the 49ers running back corps. While RAHEEM MOSTERT is expected to lead the San Francisco backfield, he has had trouble staying healthy. Fantasy owners will want to keep an eye on Sermon as the offseason progresses. Less
