Fantasy Impact:
The rookie running back exploded with over 100 rushing yards and a touchdown against Detroit in Week 1. However, his absence from 49ers' practice on Wednesday and beginning Thursday is alarming, adding to the clustered running-back-by-committee approach deployed by head coach Kyle Shanahan. With the 49ers hosting the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football, put Mitchell into your Flex spot and prepare a replacement player. It could wind up being a game-time decision, meaning rostering a pivot player whose game is on Sunday night or Monday night is the ideal way to approach this news.
