It was horrifying. I'm surprised his bone didn't bust right through his skin. I'm so scared to ever fall like that now.

He looked really great last year and I felt bad for him that he got hurt, but he's a cut right now if there's anyone available on the WW.

Do we think Mostert is simply a one-week flex option, or would he hold value through the season?

Picked him up last night in my main short bench league and felt good about it. Dropped him this morning for TY Montgomery on the news for Bell’s MRI. I like RM’s breakout potential and upside for sure, but right now he holds only low end flex appeal for the next 2-4 weeks.

I would hold and stash given Breida's own injury history. That said, keep on eye on Jeff Wilson, too, in case Breida/Mostert gets hurt or struggles - Wilson also did well when called upon last year.
The key is how long Coleman will be out.

Mostert had more than one run like this during which he turned a seeming disaster into something positiveDavid LombardiVerified account @LombardiHimself
This won't show up in the box score, and the 49ers fumbled it away a few plays later, but Raheem Mostert had more than one run like this during which he turned a seeming disaster into something positive. Given injuries, Mostert is about to get a lot of run, IMO.

Time to add Raheem Mostert.

#49ers RB Tevin Coleman suffered an ankle sprain in yesterday’s win over the #Bucs, source said, an injury that is expected to force him to miss time. He’s having tests today (in Youngstown, OH, where the team is staying) to determine the nature of the sprain.

I'll start him over d Freeman this week, which is probably going to be the wrong call.

So Breida had a great game as well, with a few more carries and being more productive with them.
That's no slight to Mostert, who ran really well too and had a great passing game.
Do we think this is going to be a relatively 60/40 split between Breida and Mostert? Did the garbage time help pump Mostert's carries up?
Have to think the team still involves Mostert, but also think his usage goes down (80/20? 75/25?) in a more regular gamescript.
I am hoping to leverage Mostert as a flex until Coleman comes back, and the guy has the goods to deliver. Just still wary about what his usage will be next week.
Thoughts?

I have both and can't bring myself to start either of them. No idea how things shake out in a closer game.
Stompin' Tom Connors
Footballguy
I don't envy that position. Who are you starting instead? Breida seems like a safer bet of the two, but if you didn't have any other choices, that's truly a caught between Scylla and Charybdis situation.

Mostert has been on/off/on/off/on/off my squad all year - you guessed it, he's off my squad right now when he blew up in a game 
He has talent and I would trust him if he were the last man standing, but there are too many RB options on SF that any one of them could be the man on a give week (see Coleman smashing for 4 TDs earlier this year). I'll probably add him again (unless someone does it first) because that's how it goes between me and Raheem, but I probably would never start him unless 2 of the other 3 RBs are injured and that still is no guarantee.

I own Coleman and honestly, I'm not sure I'm going to bother with Mostert (who has already been on my roster).
In fact, I'm actually considering bailing on this entire situation and dropping Coleman.
And with Breida back and Mostert just busting out, that's exactly when Coleman goes nuts again.

I think this is 2019 version of Damien Williams.
27 year old breakout coming on strong at the end of the year... We all think he's a one week hero, but he keeps proving us wrong... Going strong into the playoffs now... One more big week and he will have had as many as Williams did last year.
If he continues during the NFL playoffs he should have a value rise very similar to Damien last year. It should follow that same arc...
I vowed not to miss this year's Williams, but I missed Mostert for the same reason I missed Williams. I didn't believe it, and I was too late.

Yep.
I had picked him up in a couple leagues but only because they have deep rosters, and desperation.
Unlike Williams though, Mostert has decent competition for carries with Coleman and Breida.
Not sure what you've been watching - Mostert has 29 carries over the past 2 weeks, Coleman 8 (for a whopping 12 yards). Mostert is the alpha in the backfield now.

Wouldn't beat yourself up too badly -- I picked up Mostert after his week 1 effort of getting 40 yards off of 9 carries when Coleman got dinged, and benefited from his monster WK 2 game and his solid yardage in WK 3 -- he clearly looked good but had to drop him given SF's bye and to cover injuries elsewhere on my squad.
At that point, Coleman and Breida were getting healthier and were the no-brainer 1-2 punch relegating Mostert to the back seat. Except for Week 8 vs CAR, Mostert really had no impact or carries, so was fairly obvious he wasn't getting his shot.
Mostert flashed but I think you could be forgiven if you didn't snag him before week 11. It was a really crowded backfield and no real guarantee that he would be back unless injury struck.
I was looking for him in waivers into WK 12 but he was snagged by a guy with better priority. If you mean you waited past that point, than yes, you can kick yourself for missing him based on early signals and a great WK 12 when given a role.

I agree with you on Mostert being this year's D-Will. As the new lead dog in that offense, Mostert may be a league-winner for a lot of championship teams. .
Don't feel bad about missing out; it happens.

Footballguy
I agree with you and want him to be the lead back next year. I'm just saying he has better competition (despite recent struggle) than Williams did heading into the off season.
Of course, SF could draft a back, I think they probably should. But RM looks good for now.

The concern isn't with him directly, the concern is that Shanahan won't give him the majority of the snaps this weekend (or any week).

Footballguy
Maybe if he hadn't been on 5 teams in his career, had more than one game with 100 yards rushing, more than 5 games with 10 rushing attempts, had more targets in the passing game (understand they have kittle, and it's not all that common for a RB to get targets with an elite TE on the field although it does happen), had more than 2 games with 40 snaps... It looks like shanny will use him the next few games and his performance throughout the playoffs will be telling.
The 2020 RB class looks loaded. My saying they probably should draft a back is about the quality players that should be available in the middle rounds this year.

I wonder how much of San Fran's running game and offense is being designed by Mike Shanahan. He might still be putting in 60 hour workweeks totally focused on watching film and designing plays while his son deals with the mundane daily coaching responsibilities. Mike might even be handpicking the running backs.

I am deciding between eckler and Mostert for Sunday. Eckler has been off the charts al season but I have a gut feeling here Mostert goes off again and eckler quiets down vs a stout ninny defense. Thoughts .?
Those are all really terrible arguments. He is one of those rare players that look like they can break any touch into a TD.
The 49ers aren't going to draft a RB.

Really? A complete lack of record is a bad argument for having doubts whether a player can continue to play at a high level, as opposed to just having a good patch of games? It's not like any player ever had a few nice games then disappointed.
We'll see.

I think there are all sorts of reasons he shouldn't be doing what he is doing... That's why he is the 2019 version of DWill
