Who Should I Start? Raheem Mostert or Josh Jacobs

Thursday, November 6, 10:31 AM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Raheem Mostert has worked strictly as a backup this season. Through five games, he has logged 16 carries for 80 yards and added three receptions for 27 yards. With rookie Ashton Jeanty leading the backfield, Mostert has been limited to just a 24% snap share. The matchup doesn't help in Week 10, as Denver is allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to running backs. Mostert holds value only as Jeanty's handcuff and on kick returns, but he should remain on waivers in all fantasy formats for now.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been as automatic a fantasy start as it gets this season. Jacobs has scored in every game this season but one and has been a top-10 fantasy running back in five of the last six weeks. Adding to that total in his game with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10, Jacobs put up 107 yards from scrimmage with five receptions and a rushing score. While Jacobs hasn't posted a 100-yard rushing game this season and has averaged just 68 rushing yards per game, fantasy managers are still beaming at just how inevitable Jacobs has been when it comes to scoring and his involvement in the Packers' offense. With the offensive game plan flowing through Jacobs and the run game each week, he's been the only thing that's consistently worked this season for Green Bay. Against the New York Giants, who are dead last in the NFL in defensive EPA per carry, Jacobs is a no-brainer RB1 lock for fantasy lineups in Week 11.
