Who Should I Start? Raheem Mostert or MarShawn Lloyd

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.

The Green Bay Packers sent running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) "out west" to get his body right, according to head coach Matt LaFleur, and the results have been promising. "We'll see," LaFleur said. The Packers said at the end of October that the 24-year-old was not close to returning to practice. It remains to be seen if the second-year RB will be able to get back on the field, but so far, he has spent the entire 2025 season on Injured Reserve due to a hamstring injury. The Packers had high hopes for Lloyd when they drafted him, but he has only played in one game so far in his NFL career. Josh Jacobs is the clear bell-cow back in Green Bay's backfield, with Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks backing him up. If Lloyd does finally make his way back in the second half of the season, there's no guarantee he'll rise above the RB4 for the Packers.
