Raheem Mostert Remains Jeanty's Handcuff Heading Into Week 6

Friday, October 10, 7:33 PM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Raheem Mostert struggled to make an impact in his change-of-pace role during Week 5, totaling just 22 yards on a season-high seven touches. While the 33-year-old veteran still flashes big-play ability--highlighted by a 37-yard run against the Bears earlier this year--his current workload leaves him well outside fantasy relevance. Mostert should be viewed strictly as a handcuff to rookie standout Ashton Jeanty, who has firmly established himself as the lead back. Still, with Dylan Laube and Zamir White buried on the depth chart, Mostert remains the clear next man up if Jeanty were to miss time. For now, he's best left on the waiver wire outside of deeper leagues or as insurance for Jeanty managers looking to protect one of fantasy's rising assets.

Dylan Sampson Not a Strong Fantasy Option in Week 8

Friday, October 24, 8:30 PM

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson has been lightly used over the past few weeks. He continued that trend in a 31-6 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 7 as he saw just four touches in the blowout win. Sampson will hope to hear his number called more frequently in Week 8 when he heads on the road to take on the New England Patriots. The Patriots have been tough on the run this season, allowing just the 27th-most fantasy points per game to the running back position. Due to his lack of involvement in the Cleveland offense, Sampson would not be a recommended fantasy play even if this were a good matchup for him. He should remain on fantasy benches heading into Week 8.
