49ers' Elijah Mitchell (ribs) expected to play in Week 9

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (ribs) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 9 game against the Arizona Cardinals.

What It Means:

Mitchell has played through his ribs injury before (at a high level, no less), so he should be expected to be a full go for today's divisional matchup against the Cardinals.

Our models project Mitchell, who has $7,100 salary on FanDuel, is projected to score 7.4 fantasy points against the Cardinals. The Cardinals have been stout against the run all season but surrendered 137 rushing yards to the Green Bay Packers' running backs in Week 8 in their first contest without J.J. Watt.
