Who Should I Start? Raheem Mostert or Chase Brown

Thursday, November 6, 10:31 AM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Raheem Mostert has worked strictly as a backup this season. Through five games, he has logged 16 carries for 80 yards and added three receptions for 27 yards. With rookie Ashton Jeanty leading the backfield, Mostert has been limited to just a 24% snap share. The matchup doesn't help in Week 10, as Denver is allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to running backs. Mostert holds value only as Jeanty's handcuff and on kick returns, but he should remain on waivers in all fantasy formats for now.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown is looking to build off a strong performance he had as a receiver in Week 9. Brown hauled in eight of his 14 targets for 75 yards during their loss to the Chicago Bears. The 25-year-old struggled with only 37 yards on the ground, but the eight receptions helped save his fantasy value. The Bengals had a bye week this past weekend, but head into a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. Brown rushed for over 100 yards during their last matchup in Week 7. The Bengals are going to be without Samaje Perine (ankle) for a few weeks. That being said, Brown figures to see almost all the work in the backfield. He played 96 percent of the offensive snaps during the loss to the Bears. Brown should be a focal point in this offense going forward.
