Raheem Mostert Inactive Again in Week 2

Monday, September 15, 8:54 PM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Raheem Mostert is once again a healthy scratch for Week 2 in a Monday night matchup against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. Mostert was also a healthy scratch last Sunday in the season-opening win over the New England Patriots. The 33-year-old is buried on the Raiders' RB depth chart early in the year in his first season in Vegas. The Raiders will roll with rookie starter Ashton Jeanty, Zamir White, and Dylan Laube as their top three RBs. Until further notice, Mostert should remain on the waiver wire in all fantasy formats. He's just a year removed from his first Pro Bowl selection in 2023 with the Miami Dolphins, when he produced a career-high 1,012 rushing yards and a league-high 18 rushing touchdowns in 15 starts. Mostert had only 278 rushing yards and two TDs last year, though, and has had trouble staying healthy in his career.

Rachaad White Poised For Bigger Role If Bucky Irving Sits

Thursday, October 2, 2:11 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White could be in line for an increased workload in Week 5 if starter Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) is unable to suit up. White logged 10 touches in last week's loss to the Eagles and has been the most efficient runner in Tampa Bay's backfield, averaging 4.7 yards per carry on 23 attempts while also drawing nine targets in the passing game. With the Buccaneers showing a more balanced offensive attack this season, White's versatility as both a rusher and receiver keeps him positioned for expanded snaps, particularly on third downs and in two-minute situations. The matchup won't be easy against a Seahawks defense that ranks sixth in the NFL against the run, allowing just 89.8 rushing yards per game, but White would still carry flex appeal in fantasy formats if Irving is forced to miss Sunday's contest.
