Who Should I Start? Raheem Mostert or D'Andre Swift

Wednesday, November 20, 4:42 PM

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (hip) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, according to Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post. The veteran running back sustained this injury during last weekend's victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. This is a great sign to see him participate in a full practice session early in the week, which suggests this injury was fairly minor. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status during the week if he faces a setback. Over the past two weeks, Mostert has slowly begun to lose work to rookie Jaylen Wright. For now, Mostert should only be viewed as a low-end flex option/RB3 in deeper 14+ team formats until he begins to see an increase in workload.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) has been tagged as questionable ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Swift has been progressing throughout the week as he sat out of Wednesday's practice. Swift was limited on Thursday and was able to get through a full practice session on Friday. The fact that Swift was able to get through a full practice session on Friday should mean that he'll be ready to go this weekend. If he sits, Roschon Johnson figures to become the lead back and would see an increase in snaps. Swift should be considered a RB2 for this tough matchup against the Vikings rush defense.
