Tyrion Davis-Price ‘could’ take on short-yardage role

It is possible rookie RB Tyrion Davis-Price takes on a short-yardage and goal-line role out of the 49ers backfield this season.

Fantasy Impact: This comes from ESPN’s Nick Wagoner who said “ideally” Davis-Price takes on this type of role. He is a bigger back than Elijah Mitchell, so it would make sense for that role. It sounds like while Mitchell leads the 49ers backfield on paper, Kyle Shanahan will continue to run a committee style approach to the San Francisco backfield.
