Who Should I Start? Raheem Mostert or Kenneth Gainwell

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.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell took 14 carries for 43 yards and added one reception for five yards during the team's 25-11 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In his return from a rib injury, the 24-year-old took a backseat to D'Andre Swift until the game's final drive, where he was given eight carries while Philadelphia was milking the clock. Gainwell was largely inefficient, averaging 3.1 yards per carry and running straight into defenders once he crossed the line of scrimmage. Swift's second straight performance of over 100 yards has secured him the starting role. However, Gainwell still carries fantasy value in plus matchups and will take over as the clear leader if anything happens to the former Detroit Lion. Consider the third-year back a low-end flex option in Week 4 against the division rival Washington Commanders.
