Who Should I Start? Raheem Mostert or Kenneth Walker III

Saturday, November 23, 8:18 AM

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert has been nonexistent since his costly fumble back in Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills. So much so that he didn't even receive a single carry last week vs. the Las Vegas Raiders in their 34-19 win; that can all change this week. Mostert will go up against a New England Patriots run defense that has given up the third-most rushing yards to running backs this season. It should also be noted that in his last three meetings, the 32-year-old speedster averaged 82.3 rushing yards per game and had three touchdowns. With the recent lack of playing time, Mostert is a touchdown-dependent flex at best for Week 12 and is RotoBaller's RB40 for Week 12.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III is a high-end RB2 in Week 12. The Seahawks host the Arizona Cardinals who are the No. 25 defense against opposing running backs in fantasy. Walker has been held in check of late in fantasy, but this is a great matchup for him to get things going. His volume continues to be excellent, particularly his passing game usage. It is only a matter of time before Walker begins to hit on big plays once again. As long as the Seahawks keep this game close, Walker has a chance to push for 20 carries. He should see around three targets as well. Additionally, the Seahawks made an effort to be more balanced in Week 11 after having time to evaluate their offense after their Week 10 bye. As a result, the offense was more efficient, and Walker had plenty of touches. Look for the Seahawks to strive for the same balance in Week 12 and for Walker to deliver for fantasy.
