Fantasy Football Player Notes

With Edmonds losing the rushing work and being regulated to a passing down back splitting half the receiving work, he's no better than an RB4. He finished last week with six touches and 41 total yards despite 51% of the snaps played. With this being an average to tough matchup for a receiving back, Edmonds is a must-sit in most leagues.

Looking at the above usage rates in Week 1 and 2, the rushing roles for Mostert and Edmonds flipped. Mostert also cut into Edmonds routes. He finished the game with 55% of the snaps played, 14 touches, and 79 total yards. While Mostert may not be as elusive as he once was, he's still a productive player. He's 11th in PFF's elusive rating (minimum ten carries) while also ranking 24th in juke rate and 30th in true yards per carry. The Bills are a tough rushing matchup with the 13th-lowest rushing success rate, fifth-lowest rushing EPA, and second-lowest explosive rush rate allowed. Even through the air, the outlook doesn't improve much for these backs. Buffalo was 16th in DVOA last year and currently sits at 17th with the second-fewest targets to backs and third-fewest receiving yards permitted. Mostert is a dicey RB3.
