3. Raheem Mostert

Even though the Miami Dolphins are paying Chase Edmonds more, Raheem Mostert has taken his spot as their lead back. He knows Mike McDaniel’s systemand has been more efficient on the ground and as a pass-catcher.
The Dolphins won’t be as pass-heavy this week with Teddy Bridgewater filling in for the injured Tua Tagovailoa. There’s no timetable for Tua’s return, and Mostert should still have a prominent role even when he comes back.
2. Brian Robinson

Brian Robinson was quite impressive in training camp and had been named the Washington Commanders’ lead back ahead of the season. Unfortunately, he was shot right before the start of the campaign, thus being forced to miss the first month.
But Ron Rivera recently confirmed that Robinson wouldbe back on the gridiron for Week 5. And while we shouldn’t expect him to have a big workload in his first game back, he’ll be a major offensive factor for the remainder of the season.
1. George Pickens

Chase Claypool has been unimpressive and underwhelming through the first couple of years of his career. Now, he might give up even a bigger share of the targets with George Pickens emerging as a most reliable option.
Pickens is an athletic freak, and it’s clear that he has a strong rapportwith Kenny Pickett. The Pittsburgh Steelers finally give up on Mitch Trubisky, so that Pickett-Pickens connection figures to take off from now on.
