Alright, let’s gab about this Raheem Mostert fella and his fantasy football stuff. Don’t know much about these fancy games, but I hear folks get all worked up about ’em.
Raheem Mostert, huh? Sounds like a city name. Anyways, last year, this boy ran real fast, got lots of yards. They say he was 17th in yards per touch, whatever that means. And somethin’ about “explosive run rate,” sixth, they say. Sounds like he bursts through the line like a firecracker, eh?
- He was the main runner guy for the Dolphins at the start, but them experts, they say you shouldn’t pick him too early.
- Said he’s a “flex” or “RB3.” Guess that means he’s good, but not the best. Like a spare tire, maybe?
Last summer, they picked him somewhere in the middle. Not too high, not too low. Just so-so.
But listen to this! This Raheem fella, he went wild in 2023! Over a thousand yards and 21 touchdowns! Twenty-one! That’s more than I got chickens in the yard! They say he was the second best runner guy for fantasy, only behind some fella named McCaffrey. Sounds fancy.
But now, they’re sayin’ things might be different in 2024. They think he won’t play as much, which ain’t good for his fantasy points. Makes sense, I guess. Can’t run like a young buck forever, can ya?
Even though he did so well last year, them fantasy managers, they ain’t rushin’ to get him this year. They say they’ll wait ’til the middle of the draft, maybe even later. Some other young whippersnapper, Achane, they call him, is gettin’ all the attention now.
Now, this year, 2024, it ain’t lookin’ so good for Raheem. The whole Miami team, they ain’t doin’ so hot neither. That Achane boy, he’s the main runner now, and there’s another young fella, Jaylen Wright, they say is doin’ good too.
So, Raheem, he’s 32 now, which is old for them football fellas. They say his best days are behind him. Reminds me of my old mule, Betsy. Used to be the fastest thing on the farm, but now she just likes to munch on hay all day.
This Achane, he’s gonna be the main man, it seems. Guess that means Raheem will be sittin’ on the bench more, or maybe just runnin’ a little bit here and there. Kinda like when I let the grandkids stir the pot, even though I do most of the cookin’.
So, if you’re playin’ this fantasy game, what do you do with Raheem? Well, I reckon you don’t go pickin’ him first. He ain’t the star anymore, sounds like. Maybe if you need someone to fill in, he’d be okay, but don’t expect him to win you the whole game like he did last year. It’s like pickin’ a tomato at the end of the season, it might be okay, but it ain’t gonna be as plump and juicy as the first ones.
It’s all a gamble, just like plantin’ seeds. Sometimes you get a bumper crop, sometimes you don’t. That’s what they say about this fantasy football, I hear. So, with Raheem, you gotta be careful. He might surprise you, he might not. Just like life, I guess.
In short, if you’re lookin’ at Raheem for your fantasy team, don’t get your hopes too high. He had a good run, but things change. He’s older, the other fellas are younger and faster. That’s just how it goes, whether it’s football, farmin’, or anything else in this world. The young ones always try to take over.
They use all these fancy words and numbers, but it all boils down to this: Raheem ain’t the top dog anymore. He might still be useful, but he ain’t gonna be the one carryin’ your team to victory, most likely. So, keep that in mind when you’re pickin’ your players. Don’t go bettin’ the farm on him, that’s for sure.
