With the Raiders having spent a top-5 pick on Ashton Jeanty, the only question regarding their backfield was whether either Zamir White or Sincere McCormick could hold onto prominent roles behind him. Instead, newcomer Raheem Mostert seems to be the frontrunner to mix in as the team’s primary 3rd-down back.

The Raiders signed Mostert to a 1-year, $2.1 million contract back in March. It’s a sneaky good fit for the 33-year-old former track star, who’s just one season removed from a 1,000-yard campaign. Mostert can be considered a decent value in dynasty leagues for owners seeking positional depth.

If I have Jeanty, however, I’m not rushing to acquire Mostert as a handcuff. Mostert has been prone to injury throughout his career, and I would much rather have the younger McCormick for a handcuff in Dynasty formats. He stands to gain more than Zamir White if either Jeanty or Mostert goes down.
