Raheem Mostert Week 13 Outlook - Bengals at Dolphins

We don't know the status of Tevin Coleman right now, but it's safe to say you're not trying to trust him, Jeff Wilson, or Jerick McKinnon in your lineup. Mostert played 29 snaps in his return to the lineup, which is pretty much in line with his season-long average, maybe a smidge less. The opportunity was there, as he totaled 16 carries and two targets, which netted just 43 yards in a tough matchup with the Rams, though he did find the end zone. Against the Bills, he should have a good shot to find the end zone, as they've allowed 16 rushing touchdowns on the season, which ranks third behind only the Raiders and Lions. Quarterbacks have gotten six of those touchdowns, but we know that Mullens won't be stealing anything. On top of the Bills allowing a touchdown every 19.0 carries, they've allowed 4.55 yards per carry, which ranks as the ninth-highest mark in the league. The Bills are also allowing an above-average 6.06 yards per target through the air to running backs, though they're one of just four teams left who haven't allowed a receiving touchdown to them. The bottom line is that this matchup plays into Mostert's strengths as a runner, and he should be in lineups as a mid-tier RB2.
