It’s getting harder to justify not giving Mostert more touches on offense. His big day against Baltimore came thanks to Breida’s absence and Tevin Coleman struggling. Mostert has game-breaking speed, runs hard, and is becoming a more reliable pass catcher. He had a career-high 19 carries against the Ravens, and while he won’t get close to that number again, he should get some touches. If he runs like he did against Baltimore, Mostert can have a big impact.
