News: 5 days agoMostert gained nine yards on three carries in a preseason loss to the 49ers on Saturday. He added three receptions on four targets for 16 yards.

Spin: Mostert logged fewer carries and yards than both Ashton Jeanty (7-33-1) and Chris Collier (4-26-0), but he led all Raiders running backs in targets, catches and receiving yards. He's never been a prolific receiver out of the backfield, but he may need to do more of that work this season to be at all productive with Jeanty likely to be a workhorse back for the Raiders. As it stands, Mostert is not guaranteed to be the team's No. 2 RB -- Zamir White and Sincere McCormick are also vying for that role.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Mostert's improbable career rolls on, as the 33-year-old signed with the Raiders during free agency. Undrafted back in 2015, Mostert was severely limited by injuries throughout most of his career, totaling 320 touches prior to reaching 200 in back-to-back seasons in Miami (2022-23). Mostert's career year came in 2023 when he scored a league-high 21 touchdowns, but he predictably crashed back to earth with two scores on 104 touches last season. Mostert cleared 12 touches and 11.8 fantasy points only once last season and heads to Las Vegas as a clear backup to rookie Ashton Jeanty. He's barely worth late-round consideration in deep leagues.
