Raheem Mostert Week 8 Outlook - Cardinals at Dolphins

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Last week, Mostert played 33% of the snaps with 11 rushing attempts and 50 rushing yards. He was a zero in the passing game and only had a 29% snap rate on passing plays. He did, however, retain a red zone role with an 85.7% snap rate inside the 20-yard line. Now, it was only a seven-snap sample, so let's not get carried away here. It was encouraging to see that Achane didn't hog all the red zone work. Mostert didn't look a ton better as a rusher last week. Yes, he posted an 18% missed tackle rate, but he had zero explosive runs and only 1.45 yards after contact per attempt. Mostert has seen his fantasy stock water down to be a touchdown-dependent flex/RB3. He could pay off this week, though, with a great rushing matchup that could help fluff his boxscore. Arizona has allowed the seventh-most rushing yards per game, the fifth-highest rushing success rate, and the 13th-highest yards before contact per attempt.
