Start Raheem Mostert As A Flex In Week 14
4 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert saw only nine carries in Week 13, which was the smallest workload he's received in any game he's completed this year. Jeff Wilson Jr., meanwhile, received seven carries in the game and was slightly more effective than Mostert. There's a chance Mostert cedes a good amount of work to Wilson against the Washington Football Team this week as well, but it's hard to know for sure. Head coach Kyle Shanahan may just be planning to base his gameplan on what he sees from each rusher when the game gets going. Mostert is averaging 5.1 yards per carry and 10.8 yards per reception on the year. Even if he only sees around 12 total touches, he should still be able to do enough with them to warrant a flex start.
