Besides his sophomore season – where Sutton totaled 1,112 yards and six touchdowns – he hasn’t cleared 900 yards or scored more than four times. The Reasoning: Courtland Sutton has seemingly always been on the cusp of a breakout season. The Trade: Courtland Sutton (WR – DEN) for DJ Moore (WR – CHI)-plus The three other running backs on the Cincinnati roster have just six attempts between them. And like Mostert, Mixon is also seeing better numbers in the passing game and is currently on pace for the second-most of his career.īut unlike Mostert, Mixon doesn’t have competition to worry about. Mixon is no stranger to a heavy workload – totaling 200-plus carries in four seasons – and is on pace to do it again, averaging 15 carries per game. Instead of Mostert, I’d consider the tried-and-true Joe Mixon to lead my fantasy backfield. Rookie De’Von Achane managed to outshine Mostert in Week 3 despite the latter scoring four times and totaling 140 yards. Then there’s the issue of a younger, faster, possibly better option waiting on the beach. The 10 receptions he’s recorded so far have taken his career total to a whopping 77. He’s currently on pace for over 200 carries which would be a career-high set at the ripe old age of 31. In short, being the starting running back on the highest-scoring offense this season has its perks.īut for all the positives of Mostert’s season so far, it remains to be seen if he can keep it up. He’s usually limited in the receiving game but his 10 receptions so far this season is almost 1/3 of his total all of last season. He’s averaging six yards per carry on 41 carries so far and has scored six times on the ground. Taken (relatively) late in drafts, Mostert has been fantasy’s top running back and was a top-five fantasy running back even before his game-winning performance this last Sunday. The Reasoning: If you started Raheem Mostert in Week 3 or any week really, chances are your fantasy team is doing well. The Trade: Raheem Mostert (RB – MIA) for Joe Mixon (RB – CIN) I would rather ride with the more stable if lower floor, in Lawrence than hope Burrow can shake off the injury and return to normal in time for his fantasy managers to make a playoff run. It’s holding back his receivers too with Tee Higgins, a top-20 fantasy receiver each of the last two years, having two duds out of three while Ja’Marr Chase has been productive but not quite the top-five pick he was in drafts this summer. He could have had more if not for his receivers’ drops, too. Lawrence, on the other hand, is duplicating his stats from last year, averaging 245 yards per game and has three touchdowns so far. Through three games this season, Burrow is averaging just 188 passing yards a game and has thrown just two touchdowns, well below his averages from the last two seasons. While not catastrophic, it’s certainly slowed him down. The most obvious reason is Burrow’s calf injury he suffered just a few weeks before the season started. Calvin Ridley and Evan Engram are fine compliments for a quarterback but they’re not on the same level as Ja’Marr Chase or Tee Higgins.īut just three weeks into the season, it’s fair to say that Lawrence’s is trending up while Joe Burrow is more of a question mark. Trevor Lawrence also had a good season – over 4,100 yards and 25 touchdowns – but wasn’t expected to surpass Burrow when it comes to fantasy stats. Burrow was coming off a 2022 season that saw him throw for over 4,400 yards and 35 touchdowns for his first top-five fantasy finish. The Reasoning: Before fantasy drafts this summer, this scenario would have been unheard of.
