Quarterbacks There isn’t much in the way of injury news on the quarterback front. Marcus Mariota is out for the Raiders which is only notable because he came in an played a RPO package in the first game. But that was one snap he was injured. Otherwise, the situations across the league remain relatively similar. Running Backs Josh Jacobs FD 6500 DK 6000 Opponent PITProj Points FD - 8.79 DK - 9.7 Friday will determine a lot about Jacobs’ availability for Sunday. He hasn’t practiced all week after being questionable leading into last Monday’s game. That was for an illness and this is for a myriad of other injuries so we will have to see. He and Kenyan Drake basically split snaps in Week 1 (Jacobs - 45, Drake - 41) and would do so again if both were active. But if Jacobs sat we would have to give Drake a significant boost. With Jalen Richard on IR it would be Peyton Barber likely spelling Drake in this scenario. This is a situation we will have to monitor. Update: Jacobs has been ruled out. Drake could see a lot of the workload here.  Elijah Mitchell FD 5800 DK 5000 Opponent PHIProj Points FD - 11.85 DK - 11.89 Elijah Mitchell isn’t injured, but Raheem Mostert is with the latter having been lost for the season. The latter made it all of two carries before leaving the Week 1 game and then having season-ending knee surgery this week. What a blow. Mitchell picked up 19 carries and 69% of the offensive snaps with Mostert out though remember that Trey Sermon has been inactive going into the game. The 49ers have shown a willingness to RBBC this bad boy so I am only lukewarm on Mitchell going into this game. The 49ers also picked up Trenton Cannon during the week. Zack Moss FD 5200 DK 4500 Opponent MIAProj Points FD - 0 DK - 0 Zack Moss was a surprise inactive for Week 1, leaving the backfield duties to Devin Singletary and Matt Breida. Singletary took 75% of the team’s offensive snaps with a 19% usage rate (carries + targets). He should be in line for something similar with Moss looking likely to sit this one again. Miami isn’t a great matchup because of the pace, but the Bills still have a...
