What It Means:

"He had type of break they thought he could function," Lynch said about the finger injury Mitchell suffered last week. "But surgery might have been different than we anticipated. Pain tolerance is not an issue, but he has to be able to function." Lynch doesn't sound nearly as optimistic as head coach Kyle Shanahan did earlier this week in regards to Mitchell's status. The 49ers have a 1:00pm ET kickoff in Jacksonville this week, so fantasy managers will know Mitchell's status before the early games start. Jeff Wilson is next in line for workhorse duties if Mitchell is unavailable.

Mitchell is currently the RB16 in numberFire's Week 11 fantasy rankings and our models project him for 17.8 FanDuel points. The Jaguars' run defense is 25th in our season-long power rankings.
