Who Should I Start? Raheem Mostert or Tank Bigsby

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.

Philadelphia running back Tank Bigsby took his first offensive snaps with the Eagles in Week 7 and followed that up by turning nine carries into 104 yards in a Week 8 win over the Giants that saw starter Saquon Barkley exit early with a groin injury. With the Eagles on a Week 9 bye, Barkley's health remained in question heading into Week 10, making Bigsby a popular waiver add over those two weeks. In Week 10's win over the Packers, Barkley outsnapped Bigsby 44 to eight and saw 25 total opportunities to Bigsby's 3, proving once again that when healthy, the Eagles' backfield belongs to Barkley. Bigsby is still worthy of a roster spot as the apparent next man up behind Barkley, but heading into a Week 11 matchup with the Lions, he has no standalone value.
