Raheem Mostert (RB, SF) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Mostert has undergone a thorough transformation from an unknown player who had accumulated just 47 yards on 13 carries from 2015 through Week 5 of this season, to a back who has suddenly become a recommended roster addition.

He unexpectedly emerged in Week 6 by accruing a team-high 87 yards on 12 attempts (7.3 YPC), then manufactured 78 total yards on 11 carries against the Rams in Week 7. His ownership percentage only rose 11% percent last week, as many potential owners were hesitant to utilize a roster spot on a runner that might become been a proverbial one-week wonder.

But Matt Breida's inability to remain healthy, coupled with the general ineffectiveness of Alfred Morris, should compel Kyle Shanahan to keep Mostert involved in an injury-depleted offense that desperately needs an infusion of explosiveness.
