Likely will be spending a day 2 pick on a RB or bringing one in via free agency. Otherwise, it is just absurd to continue rolling him out when their season is clearly in the dust bin.

MingusDew 419 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 If he's not practicing today I'm not gonna put too much stock into the coach speak. Let's see his practice status tomorrow and Friday. If he get's some limited practice in he's probably playing. Link to post Share on other sites

The fact that Mostert played through the entire game and said after the game he feels fine makes me believe he will be out there as long as there were no setbacks, which is probably why they had a precautionary MRI to make sure it wasn't bad enough to shut him down.

ak427 628 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Would not play if Mostert is active. Could very easily see a single digit PPR score if there's two running backs getting carries. Link to post Share on other sites

Wislon will still get the gl calls, Shanny does not use MostHurt in those situations with a healthy Wilson on board. Link to post Share on other sites

I think he leans towards Wilson here, but it's far from a given - just look at the Rams in week 12 when Mostert scored from 8 yards out. Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, I'm not chasing touchdowns because they're too random. Touches are what's important for me. And they'll be limited if Mostert is active. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

bangarrang 185 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 If Mostert is healthy and plays the whole game we're looking at, what, 8-12 carries each? That's really not what I'm looking for out of a flex. Has only had more than 13 receiving yards once this year. I dunno, it's hard to bank on TDs and a potential line 9/40 plus 2/10 receiving is not where i want to be in the semis. As a wilson/mostert owner I really hope Mostert sits, otherwise I'm probably looking to the wire depending on other injuries. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
pastorofmuppets2 10,714 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 As for Mostert, it would appear that the running back aggravated his ankle. He missed four games earlier this season due to a high-ankle sprain that landed him on injured reserve."It's kind of how all high-ankle sprains are," Shanahan explained. "He zinged it a couple of times in the game, which is going to happen to him a lot, but it felt just a little worse than normal. And he's not practicing today, but (with) the imaging (results), we feel pretty good that he'll be able to get there at the end of the week."So, I think it hurts a little bit more than usual, but the imaging was somewhat positive. We're going to take care of him today and allow him to rest, and hopefully, he'll feel a little bit better tomorrow." Link to post Share on other sites
owenmills 5,327 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 'Somewhat positive' and the entire Shanny quote sheds a little bit different light than the 'positive' tweet earlier. Just wait and see right now. Seems like it could really go either way Link to post Share on other sites
LongBalls 1,193 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Outside of "pull in case of emergency" situations hopefully people have better options if both are out there. I would prefer not the play either and avoid the TD + 40-60 yard roulette. Can get better production out of some of the better run committee backfields. Link to post Share on other sites
Pooskay 807 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Shanny is desperate for a win and needs to play every trick possible with injury news. Coaches take pride in their W/L records. Link to post Share on other sites
CooL 3,269 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I think the excitement of Wilson as the consensus #1 waiver wire pickup this week was that he would be a bellcow with Mostert out? It has pretty much been 50-50 for them the last few weeks? True, he does get goal line. And this could be the really poor man's version of Chubb and Hunt, especially against Dallas. However, the enthusiasm is waning a little given the seemingly positive Mostert news. Link to post Share on other sites
TeflonDonNewcombe 75 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) I guess I’m just looking at it from the perspective that Dallas is terrible and two RBs are more than capable of having productive games against them. This is the same team that made JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards look like Mercury Morris and Larry Csonka just a couple weeks ago. Also Mostert is the one dealing with a nagging injury. He’s more of a risk than Wilson in my humble opinion. Not just aggravating it but having to come off the field more and ceding reps to Jeffery Edited December 17, 2020 by TeflonDonNewcombe 2 Link to post Share on other sites
