3. Raheem Mostert, RB, Miami Dolphins

Raheem Mostert has completely taken over the Miami Dolphins backfield, out-touching 19-1 in their Week 5 loss to the Jets. Not only have the touches been there, but Mostert has genuinely looked good both as a lead running back and a fantasy option. What was also encouraging is that the Dolphins continued to go to him even when they were down.

This week, Mostert and the Dolphins take on the Minnesota Vikings, who have been notoriously bad against the run this year, allowing just over 120 yards per game. They’ve also allowed the 10th-most fantasy points per game to the position as well. Mostert’s encouraging usage combined with this dream matchup makes him a very startable option in Week 6.
