Week 8 at Arizona Cardinals
Raheem Mostert got two fewer carries than Alfred Morris last week, but he gained 59 yards on the ground, compared to 25 yards for Morris. Additionally, Mostert caught all four passes thrown his way for 19 receiving yards. Those aren’t eye-popping numbers, but if he can steal away the primary runner job from Morris permanently, he could have long-term fantasy value in all leagues.
This week, Mostert faces a Cardinals defense that has allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs this season. While he’s risky because we don’t fully know Matt Breida’s status or how much work Morris is going to steal, Mostert has a lot of upside in a good matchup. The game should feature plenty of running, and he has low-end RB2 value this week.
