Raheem Mostert Returns To Lead-Back Role In Week 6
1 year agoMiami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert is back in control of the team's backfield now that rookie De'Von Achane (knee) is on Injured Reserve and Jeff Wilson Jr. (ribs, finger) is doubtful to return from IR this week. To make matters even better, the Panthers are second-to-last against running backs fantasy-wise. They've given up 30.5 fantasy points per game and have allowed two touchdowns to running backs in every game but one so far. This all adds up to be one big formula for success. Mostert can be considered an RB1 heading into this matchup and likely will remain at that level until Achane returns -- he won't be eligible to come back until Week 11.
