Best matchups for fantasy football Week 16: 4. Raheem Mostert & Jeff Wilson Jr., RBs, Miami Dolphins (vs. GB)

If you have Raheem Mostert on your fantasy team, there’s a good chance you’ve advanced in the playoffs after his 17-136 performance in Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills. He made the most of his touches while Jeff Wilson Jr. sat with an injury. The status of Wilson will need to be monitored, as that could change the outlook of Mostert significantly.

Both backs have been studs for the Dolphins over the last month, as they’ve both essentially traded off lead-back duties and have been productive. When one of them gets injured, the other one usually has a great fantasy day. If both play, they’ve both been able to still be fantasy relevant.

The Green Bay Packers present a great matchup for both Miami backs this week, as they allow the seventh-most fantasy points per game to running backs, and allow the third-most rushing yards per game. The status of Wilson needs to be monitored, but both backs are looking like solid starts this week.
