Raheem Mostert Takes Over as Raiders' Primary Backup

Saturday, October 4, 6:35 PM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Raheem Mostert appears to have overtaken Zamir White as the team's No. 2 option behind starter Ashton Jeanty. In Week 4, Mostert handled all eight snaps that Jeanty didn't play, making the most of his limited workload with 62 rushing yards on just four carries and adding an 11-yard reception. His explosiveness and home-run ability bring an exciting change of pace to the Raiders offense, giving him value in best ball formats where big plays can swing outcomes. However, Mostert's fantasy appeal in standard leagues remains limited, as Jeanty continues to dominate the touches in Las Vegas. Unless an injury opens the door for a larger role, Mostert should be viewed as a stash or deep-league bench option rather than a weekly fantasy contributor.

Dylan Sampson Not a Recommended Option in Week 5

Saturday, October 4, 10:15 AM

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson has seen his role shrink since a solid debut in Week 1. The rookie will now head to London to take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. In theory, Sampson draws a decent matchup against a Minnesota defense that is allowing the 14th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs, but Cleveland has been giving almost all of the running-back work to Quinshon Judkins over the past two games, which has crushed the fantasy value of Sampson and Jerome Ford. Sampson is hard to trust in fantasy until the Browns show more of a commitment to getting him the ball, so managers should leave him on the bench in Week 5.
