Who Should I Start? Raheem Mostert or Jahmyr Gibbs

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.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs heads into Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts as a consistent RB1 option for fantasy managers. Gibbs has been electric, finishing as the RB6 last week after turning 12 touches into 123 total yards and a touchdown. He's a Top-6 RB in total fantasy points this season and ranks fifth in rushing yards, demonstrating his ability to maximize his opportunities. The Colts present a favorable matchup, ranking 28th against the run while allowing the sixth-most rushing yards per game and the second-most rushing attempts. Gibbs has scored five touchdowns in his last five games and surpassed 100 scrimmage yards six times this season. Working in tandem with David Montgomery, Gibbs remains a dynamic playmaker and should be locked in as an RB1 for Week 12.
