Should You Start or Sit Raheem Mostert in Week 13?
Raheem Mostert was Miami’s David Montgomery a season ago, but those days are gone. Long gone. The veteran back played 30.3% of the Dolphins’ snaps in last week’s one-sided win over the Patriots, and while that is an uptick over his recent usage patterns, I view it as a net negative.
His time on the field doubled due to a blowout — I don’t want to be harsh, but that tells me that this team doesn’t value his snaps in a meaningful way. The three games before last week were more competitive, and in those contests, something that I think is much more representative of what we see on Thanksgiving, the trends were pointing in the wrong direction:
- Week 9 at Buffalo Bills: 23.3%
- Week 10 at Los Angeles Rams: 15.1%
- Week 11 vs. Las Vegas Raiders: 14.1%
Miami appears interested in getting rookie Jaylen Wright more work, but they’ve shown zero interest in going back to the man who found pay dirt 21 times just a season ago. I’m perfectly fine with you holding a De’Von Achane handcuff on your bench — Mostert just isn’t the right way to do that, and he is far from a must-roster player at this point.
