Dolphins Not Ready To Label Raheem Mostert As Lead Back
2 years agoMiami Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith isn't ready to label running back Raheem Mostert as the team's lead back despite his recent success on the ground. "We're fortunate to have two backs. Raheem is playing some really good football," but Smith noted Chase Edmonds will get his opportunities. Mostert looked exactly like the lead back in the Week 5 loss to the New York Jets, playing 69 percent of the snaps while carrying the ball a season-high 18 times for 113 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, Edmonds played a season-low 15 percent of the snaps and had just one carry for one yard. He failed to catch either of his two targets. Edmonds has six carries in the last two weeks, while Mostert has 33. Take that for what you will, but Edmonds isn't playable right now and can be dropped in shallow formats.
