The Top RBs To Start in Week 13
Raheem Mostert, Miami Dolphins
Analysis by Derek Tate | Raheem Mostert appeared to be falling out of the RB1 conversation after posting consecutive games with fewer than 55 total yards in Weeks 7 and 8 without De’Von Achane in the lineup.
Well, Mostert has topped 80 yards rushing in three straight games now and managed to score three touchdowns during that span. The struggling Washington Commanders defense just fired defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio after Dallas’ offense scored five touchdowns in their 45-10 blowout loss to the Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

No team in the league puts more stress on an opposing secondary than the Dolphins, which should generate a handful of scoring opportunities for Mostert to produce borderline RB1 numbers in Week 13 — even with Achane expected to be back in the lineup.
Jaylen Warren, Pittsburgh Steelers
We had some reports circulating last Sunday morning that the Pittsburgh Steelers would look to give Jaylen Warren even more opportunity now that Matt Canada had been relieved of his duties as offensive coordinator. However, Warren didn’t see a massive increase in volume from what he had in previous weeks.
This may cause some fantasy managers to be concerned about plugging Warren back into starting lineups again this week. But he needs to be viewed as a solid start due to the matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
We just saw Kyren Williams and the Los Angeles Rams torch this defense, and the Steelers are finally moving the ball down the field. He’s in my starting lineups for Week 13.
