Who Should I Start? Raheem Mostert or Antonio Gibson

Friday, November 29, 12:36 PM

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert carried the ball five times for 19 yards and caught two of three targets for 15 yards in their 30-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Before the Thanksgiving game, it had appeared Jaylen Wright took over the backup running back role from Mostert and had been receiving more carries recently. Thursday's game script was not friendly for the rushing attack, with Miami down 24-3 going into halftime. At this point of the season, Mostert is unstartable and should be left on the bench with how inconsistently he's getting touches. Mostert gets a tough matchup next week when the New York Jets come to town.

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson can be left out of fantasy lineups in Week 12 when his team takes on the Miami Dolphins on the road. The 26-year-old had a solid role in New England's passing game for a few weeks earlier this season, but his snap totals have dwindled since then while backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson gobbles up a large majority of the RB touches. The Dolphins have been a strong matchup for opposing running backs, averaging 18.6 fantasy points allowed per game to the position. Still, fantasy managers can safely avoid Gibson until his involvement in New England's offense drastically increases. He's RotoBaller's PPR RB45 in this week's rankings.
