Who Should I Start? Raheem Mostert or Chuba Hubbard

Friday, December 13, 5:28 PM

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (hip) upgraded to a full practice session on Friday and has been removed from the Week 15 injury report. After missing the Week 14 overtime win over the division-rival New York Jets, Mostert will return to face the Houston Texans on the road this Sunday. The Dolphins will have all three of their RBs active against Houston, with Mostert most likely operating as more of the RB3 behind starter De'Von Achane and rookie Jaylen Wright. After scoring a league-high 18 rushing touchdowns in 2023, the 32-year-old veteran has fallen way back down to Earth and has only two TDs while averaging a career-worst 3.6 yards per carry on 65 rushing attempts. In his last four games, Mostert has 10 carries for 22 rushing yards. He will be picking up scraps behind Achane and belongs on the waiver wire in 12-team fantasy leagues.

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard will look to churn his legs to production against a middling Arizona Cardinals front four in Week 16. Hubbard disappointed last week, to the chagrin of many managers, rushing for just 32 yards on 10 carries against the Dallas Cowboys. Carolina fell behind early and opted to initiate a pass-heavy attack, a trend that has contributed to Hubbard's recent struggles; he has failed to rush for 50 yards in two out of his last three outings. Still, for managers who have survived the hardships, he remains a top running back option in the waning weeks, with RotoBaller having him as RB10 for this Week 16 game.
