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.

Emanuel Wilson the Clear RB2 in Green Bay

Tuesday, September 30, 1:26 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson appears to be the team's clear RB2 behind starter Josh Jacobs through four weeks of the season. Wilson played a season-high 30% of the offensive snaps in the Week 4 overtime tie to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night, with Chris Brooks playing just 6% of the snaps and not seeing a single carry. Wilson handled eight carries for a season-high 44 yards while also catching his first three passes of the year for an additional 37 yards against Dallas. Jacobs briefly left Sunday night's game with a cut on his knee in the fourth quarter, but he was able to finish out the game. If anything were to happen to Jacobs this year, Wilson would be a must-add off the waiver wire as the next man up as Green Bay's lead back. For now, Wilson is the primary handcuff for fantasy managers who have Jacobs rostered.
