same. I have Mostert and Wilson. I feel they will split time and I'm scared to start either of them.
My opponent swapped out Gordon (24 points) for Mostert, I'm thinking/hoping that works in my favor.
In that situation I might lean away from Mostert. If he has a big game it takes away from Wilson and vice versa. By playing Akers (he would be my choice) you don't get hurt if Wilson has a big game by it double dipping against your Mostert.
So with Brees back I picked up Sanders off the wire and will go 3 wide (Thielen, Cooks, and Sanders).
FYP - when healthy he was explosive and made game changing plays. Injuries to an ankle for a speed guy that is a one cut and go burner will really restrict your output. Mostert was still easily the best RB on the roster when healthy. He is a buy low in dynasty for me because I am sure his owners are frustrated and worried about his age. I believe he can be had for dirt cheap.Moe Green said:
I sold for a second rounder. He's 29 and oft-injured. That makes two of the last three seasons he's missed more than half his games. He's not a great buy.
To me that is too much to pay. I am saying buy only if dirt cheap. Get him as a throw in to make a deal happen. Not pay anything of consequence. Upside is there if you can get him for not much.
Oh, you mean dirt cheap. Then I wouldn't sell likely. I thought a second was a haul for the guy. Turns out to be the 19th pick in our draft as the guy lost immediately in the playoffs. I'll take the dart throw. He may very well have a good year next year if he's still with San Francisco and they don't draft anyone. Then he is indeed their best option when he's healthy. But you have to assume they're bringing guys in with Coleman and McKinnon departing.
With Mostert, the question is always health but he's a bargain right now. He has a 5.6 career YPC and everything about the situation is set up perfectly for him. I think 200-210 carries is likely his ceiling but he can still get to 1,300 (total) yards/7 td's on that number. He's such a special talent - I think he has a Jamaal Charles-esque season in him (not Charles' best years - look at 2009 or 2014) if he can ever play a full season or close to it.
Sermon is getting all the love. Mostert is a great value now in drafts but for trying to move him nobody will pay anywhere close to his value. You can maybe shop him to the Sermon owner and he might be willing to give up something.
Tried that...rejected an offer of Mostert for a 2022 2nd - rejected with no counter. Like I said, I am fine to wait it out now and hope someone values him at a 2nd sometime in-season.Gally said:
I also think he kind of fits in that no man's trade land where the owner wants too much because of the potential and the buyer doesn't want to pay much because of the risk. It's just too far so you are better off holding.
I believe Hyde in 2017 is the only Shanahan RB who topped 200 carries in the last 7 years. He likes having multiple weapons in the backfield, whether its an RB or one of the versatile WRs. Their scheme is incredibly effective at getting favorable blocking matchups. Mostert is a very talented athlete - had the two fastest ball carrier plays of the year in 2020 - but honestly any one-cut speedster should succeed in that offense.TS Garp said:
I agree with this. On a RB needy team I could pay a 2nd, but I offered a similarly valued player in D. Slayton and was countered with my Claypool for Mostert. That was a hard pass.
D. Slayton isn't bringing a whole ton back these days. I roster him. I'm not even counting on him starting for my team in a league where you can trot out 5 WRs. He's not enough for a potential starting RB. He's almost surely not starting in two-receiver sets on his own club. Claypool as a counteroffer is kind of a joke, though, and worse than the Slayton offer.
I don't value Slayton much, but was drafted a few rounds after Mostert in our startup this offseason. Slayton was a thrown in from a different deal (maybe I should try to trade him back since he may be higher on him than most others) This was a startup before the NFL draft so my thinking was Mostert slipped down a bit. I value Mostert higher esp when I need RB so I agree Mostert is worth more.
Mostert had 6 games last season where he wasn't injured, he had 18+ touches in 3 of them. The other 3 games were 14, 16, and 10. The 10 and the 14 were both games where SF fell behind big early(Buffalo and Miami respectively)
Pretty much yeah. He's still a rookie, and Mostert has been extremely productive. 10 touches is more than what the non-Mostert RB's averaged in those 6 games he was healthy for, but its likely the 49ers are a better offense/team this year, so it stands to reason they'll have more rushing attempts in general.
