What Do Elijah Mitchell, Deebo Samuel Statuses…

It remains to be seen how Joe Burrow’s finger injury affects his performance (if at all), but he’s fully expected to play (as is Tee Higgins, who’s been limited in practice with a sprained ankle). The 49ers secondary is incredibly thin while dealing with a bunch of injuries as well, so don’t be surprised if Ja’Marr Chase bounces back (he had a bad drop last week) with a huge game Sunday if Burrow’s finger cooperates.

Joe Mixon has scored in nine-straight games, totaling 13 over that span. He’s missed practice this week while dealing with an illness but would be a top-five fantasy RB if active. He’ll likely be relied on heavily Sunday while Burrow is nursing his injury, but it’s not an easy matchup. San Francisco has a depleted secondary but will be getting linebacker Fred Warner back and ranks third in run defense DVOA. Still, Mixon is a strong fantasy start right now regardless of opponent, assuming health allows.
