Raheem Mostert Shining As Dual-Threat Runner
5 years agoGiven an opportunity in Week 2, San Francisco running back Raheem Mostert broke out with 151 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. The fourth-year special teams veteran played well in limited opportunities last season (34 carries, 7.7 YPC) and should continue co-chairing the backfield with Matt Breida in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. While the Steelers rush defense is no slouch, the Niners offensive line grades as fifth best in the run game through two contests. Both Mostert and Breida rank top-15 in rushing DVOA and success rate. Mostert’s also showed his receiving chops with 10 grabs on 12 targets. Slated for a near-even split with Breida and clocking as one of football’s fastest players, Mostert is an upside RB3/flex with a steady floor.
