Mostert AND Achane? Am I nuts?

[Gratefulegg1973 261]

With Chubb going down I'll be playing RB Roulette every week with a cast of scrubs like Pierce, Brian Robinson, Ford, White, etc.  I do have Mostert and Achane.  Is it crazy to start them both?

I think they are both heavily involved from here on out.....like Jones/Dillon a couple years ago......but with a higher combined ceiling.

Tough matchup this weekend, I not like either one a lot this weekend.  I like Ford& Mostert from that list.  

Ps The Bills are going to be without one of their DB , so that’s going to help the dolphins.  

And Ford might be tricky, because it doesn’t look like Watson will be playing.

If you don't have much to choose from then I guess it's an okay option. If they do have anything on the ground, you'll get it.

However, don't be shocked if they combine for like 50 yards and 4 catches with no TDs

I started Achane over Montgomery so play him at your own peril.

Commanders put up 3 points vs Bills; Dolphins just put up 70 vs Broncos.

Bills got 9 sacks and 4 interceptions.

Dolphins vs Bills should be a exciting game; but could turn into the Bills show, with that defense.

Yes, Montgomery had a good game on TNF also. You are right ZeroT

I think people are blowing his last week out of proportion. They were playing with a massive lead last week against one of the worst defenses in the league. How many yards did he have before last weeks blowout win? 5. 5 yards.

They are a very high octane offense, and that includes last year before Tua got shelved.

So obviously last week was exceptional but they’ll continue to score in bunches.

Exactly right, all about that monster game and the way that game played out.  Mostert is the man to have, I am starting of course.

That being said the Achene owner is starting him, I think he's chasing points, but I don't blame him after such a monster game.

yes.

it is rare when more than one RB is fantasy worthy in a football game.   When it happens its usually a case where there is a blowout win (like last week) or where one is a pass catcher and one does most of the running duties and both excelled in their area of expertise.

it can happen but its not common.  I'd only play both if I thought it was gonna be another blowout or if you had no other good options.

but as both of these guys are against the Buffalo Defense this is a highly risky move.  if the Buffalo D shuts them down you get blown out.    You have other options you should likely be going with one of those and just start one Back from the phins this week.   This is one of those situations where you likely want to diversify, not stack.

Yeah, in my other league I am still sitting him behind Pollard/Cook/K Williams. If Montgomery didn't make such a huge deal out of an injury that clearly wasn't limiting him too much, I would have started him over Achane too.
