Should You Start or Sit Raheem Mostert in Week 7?
After missing nearly a month, the Dolphins leaned heavily on Mostert in Week 5, giving him 21 touches in the win over New England despite a very modest 54.7% snap share. Of course, Achane’s concussion is what fueled the usage, but it was good to see Miami confident in his health, which gives us some hope for the remainder of the season.
Seeing “at IND” next to a player is going to create the desire to lock him into your lineup, but I can’t get there in this Tyler Huntley-led offense. If Tua was under center, I’d green light starting multiple backs against the defense that allows the fifth-most yards per carry after contact to opposing running backs. However, with limited scoring equity, I can’t get Mostert inside of my top 30.
This week, he falls into the Zach Charbonnet bucket of running backs where you can play him if absolutely pressed, but one that I’d be moving away from in anything but a dire situation.
