San Francisco 49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (groin) has been declared inactive for the NFC Championship game.
Huddle Up: It appeared like Mitchell would not be able to play after missing all three practices leading up to the game. Christian McCaffrey should receive most of the work at running back this week and is a must-start option in all fantasy leagues.

Updating previous reports, San Francisco 49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (groin) was officially listed as non-participant during practice Friday, Jan. 27, and is listed as questionable for the NFC Championship game.
Huddle Up: It looks like Mitchell will be a game-time decision for the championship game, so fantasy players will need to check the inactive list for his official status. He will receive some touches if he plays and can be a flex option in some fantasy leagues.

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (groin) was limited in practice Friday, Jan. 27.
Huddle Up: Per The Athletic's David Lombardi, Mitchell got some work done on the field before the media viewing window. Regardless of this "limited" practice, it is safe to say Mitchell might be more on the doubtful side of the questionable tag he was given Friday. Christian McCaffrey could push for 20 touches as a result, while Jordan Mason would seem to be the favorite to handle a lighter version of Mitchell's role if the latter is unable to go very long against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

San Francisco 49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (groin) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 27.
Huddle Up: Mitchell heads into the weekend without practicing this week, making it likely he will be ruled out in the next hour or so. It has been one thing after another for Mitchell this season, which probably only helped San Francisco make the decision to trade for Christian McCaffrey at midseason. Mitchell has settled into a strong complementary option to CMC when he has been on the field since the trade, but he has yet to play more than three straight games. Expect Jordan Mason to see a bit of run Sunday if Mitchell is ruled out.

San Francisco 49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (groin) won't practice again on Thursday, Jan. 26, head coach Kyle Shanahan said.
Huddle Up: This is two missed practices in a row for Mitchell, and now both of the Niners' top backs have sat out the first two days. Christian McCaffrey (calf) did say there's "zero" percent chance he doesn't play, so even if Mitchell does suit up, he won't be a suggested DFS option this week.

San Francisco 49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (groin) will not practice on Wednesday, Jan. 25, but is expected to play this week, head coach Kyle Shanahan said.
Huddle Up: With Christian McCaffrey the lead back in San Fran, it'll be hard to trust Mitchell this week as anything more than a low-cost dart throw in DFS.

San Francisco 49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (groin) is day-to-day with a groin injury, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan on Monday, Jan. 23.
Huddle Up: It sounds as though there isn't much to worry about regarding his availability for the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend. Mitchell played 22 of 66 snaps in the NFC Divisional Round game versus the Dallas Cowboys in part because Christian McCaffrey was nursing a calf injury. It should not come as a surprise if Mitchell handles around 10 carries again this weekend.
