Who Should I Start? Raheem Mostert or Elijah Mitchell

Sunday, September 24, 10:07 PM

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert enjoyed an outstanding day at the same time as his backfield mate De'Von Achane. The 31-year-old finished with 13 carries for 82 yards and three touchdowns while catching all seven of his targets for 60 yards and another score. Mostert, much like the entire offense, was able to do almost anything he wanted against the Broncos defense. He's now scored at least once in each game so far this season and is now just two rushing scores shy of his highest mark for a season. Week 4 will present a tougher challenge against Buffalo's defense.

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals. The third-year running back injured his knee during Thursday's practice and missed Friday's session as a result. Mitchell has logged 16 carries for 52 yards and has caught 3-of-4 targets for just two yards while spelling starting RB Christian McCaffrey across two games this year (Weeks 1 & 3). He did not log a snap in Week 2. If he is unable to suit up for Sunday's divisional tilt against the Cardinals then Jordan Mason would likely fill in as McCaffrey's backup, although that role does not lend itself to much fantasy value. We will hear more about Mitchell's status on Sunday morning.
