Recent Game Summaries

2019 Week 19 vs MIN (12 / 58 / 0 rush, 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 rec)

Mostert came in on the second drive after a calf cramp was holding him back and ran with great intensity, usually getting multiple yards after first contact. He ripped off a couple of first downs as soon as he got the ball and usually posted good gains on his runs. He also recovered a fumbled punt on special teams, but left in the fourth quarter with a calf cramp and needed an IV. He should be closer to full strength for the NFC Championship game.

2019 Week 17 vs SEA (10 / 57 / 2 rush, 2 / 1 / 16 / 0 rec)

With Matt Breida either nursing an injury that never goes away or being in Kyle Shanahan's doghouse, Tevin Coleman is Mostert's only real competition for snaps at the moment. And his four gains of 10 yards or more were perfect microcosms of why he's been on the field three times more often than Coleman over the past month. All four required the vision and elusiveness that Coleman hasn't demonstrated all year. No doubt all four were blocked immaculately and produced an initial lane. However, whereas Coleman would have went down at the second level of the defense because he didn't see a cutback or can't break a tackle, Mostert made several cutbacks and made several tacklers miss before reaching his final destination.

2019 Week 16 vs LAR (11 / 53 / 1 rush, 1 / 0 / 0 / 0 rec)

Mostert didn't start, but he played most of the running back snaps. In fact, he appears to have completely overtaken Matt Breida on the depth chart, as Breida, though active against the Rams, only played on special teams. Having said all that, Mostert's only carry of note all game was his 16-yard touchdown run just before halftime. As is often the case with the 49ers run game, Mostert went untouched thanks to a perfectly executed run-blocking play design.

2019 Week 15 vs ATL (14 / 54 / 1 rush, 2 / 1 / 5 / 0 rec)

Once again, Mostert played a higher snap share than Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida, and as also outperformed them in fantasy. Against Atlanta, however, the forward progress was more plodding and the plays were less explosive than in recent weeks. To wit, he didn't have a single touch gain double-digit yardage and actually had one carry go for minus-6 yards. Also unlike recent weeks, Mostert was virtually non-existent down the stretch, producing only 29 total yards in the second half.

2019 Week 14 vs NO (10 / 69 / 1 rush, 2 / 2 / 40 / 1 rec)

Whether because the 49ers were in their 4-minute offense for most of the game or because Matt Breida still isn't full healthy, or because he's simply earned it, or all three, Mostert surprisingly played more snaps than Breida and Tevin Coleman combined. And has been the case in recent weeks, he delivered a slew of timely big plays. To wit, 6 of his 10 carries went for 5 yards or more, and one of his two catches went gained 35 yards. There were two pairs of back-to-back plays wherein Mostert's exploits led directly to touchdowns. Midway through the second quarter, with New Orleans having just gone ahead 27-14, Mostert took an outside zone handoff mostly untouched for 19 yards. On the ensuing first down, Kyle Shanahan dialed up the same exact play, except this time with a fake handoff to Mostert and a pitch to Emmanuel Sanders instead. Sanders then threw it Mostert on his wheel route for a 35-yard touchdown. In the fourth quarter, Mostert converted a 3rd-and-1 thanks to an option pitch from Kyle Juszczyk (of all people), and then ran in a touchdown from 10 yards out on the next play.

2019 Week 13 vs BAL (19 / 146 / 1 rush, 2 / 2 / 8 / 0 rec)

Mostert had four carries that went for 15 or more yards, accounting for 93 of his 146 total rushing yards. Rather than detailing anything specific about these four runs, it's more important to simply note that they involved the kinds of skills you also see from Matt Breida (i.e., seeing the cutback lanes on zone running plays; breaking tackles to maximize yardage after contact), but that you rarely see from Tevin Coleman.

2019 Week 12 vs GB (6 / 45 / 1 rush, 3 / 1 / 22 / 0 rec)

Mostert once again played the role of Matt Breida in San Francisco's offense. Over two-thirds of his yardage -- and his touchdown -- came on two plays during the same fourth quarter drive that put the 49ers up 37-8. The first gained 22 yards on 3rd-and-4 at midfield, with Mostert beating linebacker Blake Martinez one-on-one out of the backfield and catching a short pass across the middle with wide open room to run. On his touchdown to close the drive, although it was also impeccably blocked, Mostert broke three separte arm tackles over the course of its 15 yards.

2019 Week 11 vs ARI (6 / 13 / 0 rush, 3 / 2 / 14 / 0 rec)

Unfortunately, Mostert's passing-down role in place of Matt Breida, although placing him on the field more because of the 49ers being down most of the game, didn't result in touching the ball more because Jimmy Garoppolo was throwing downfield with reckless abandon.

2019 Week 3 vs PIT (12 / 79 / 0 rush, 1 / 0 / 0 / 0 rec)

Mostert mostly played on third downs and when San Francisco went to 11 personnel (i.e., one running back, three wide receivers, one tight end). Other than a well-blocked 19-yard run midway through the fourth quarter, his performance was lackluster at best, losing a fumble inside the red zone and nearly losing another -- on a dropped pitch, no less -- on the 49ers' first drive.

2019 Week 2 vs CIN (13 / 83 / 0 rush, 4 / 3 / 68 / 1 rec)

Mostert actually out-snapped starter Matt Breida against Cincinnati. On his receiving touchdown, which came on a deceptive, one-lineman screen pass, Mostert scored because he had three blockers against three defenders in front of him, and linebacker Preston Brown, who actually went mostly unblocked, gave a lackluster effort in his tackle attempt. Similarly, Mostert's 20-yard run in the third quarter resulted from a wide-open running lane off right tackle, as well as a feeble tackle attempt by cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick. He even ran untouched for a 29-yard score that was nullified by penalty.

2019 Week 1 vs TB (9 / 40 / 0 rush, 1 / 1 / 0 / 0 rec)

Mostert entered midway through the second quarter in place of an injured Tevin Coleman and immediately scored a touchdown...that was nullified by penalty. The running lane outside was so wide open that Mostert probably would have scored anyway, but Richie James couldn't help himself from grabbing a fistful of jersey. Late in the fourth quarter, Mostert provided a run that went a long way towards putting the game away. Running out of the I, Mostert took the handoff and ran off left tackle. About 10 yards downfield, he lowered his shoulder and ran over safety Darian Stewart before finally being tackled 8 yards later. To add insult to potential injury, Stewart was flagged for initiating with his helmet, so the play actually netted San Francisco 33 yards and a first down at the Tampa Bay 31-yard line.

49ers | Raheem Mostert excelling for Niners (Sat Jan 18, 01:08 PM) - San Francisco 49ers RB Raheem Mostert is the only player since special-teams tackles were first tracked in 2001 to lead his team in rushing yards and special-teams tackles in the same season.

Our View: Mostert is a good back with an all-purpose skill set. The 49ers use a RBBC featuring guys like Mostert and Tevin Coleman. It's one of the big reasons why they've made it to the NFC Championship Game.

49ers | Raheem Mostert not on injury report (Fri Jan 17, 05:53 PM) - San Francisco 49ers RB Raheem Mostert (calf) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 17, and is not on the injury report for the NFC Championship game.

Our View: Mostert is over the illness that limited his workload last week and the calf cramp that sidelined him in the fourth quarter last week is a nonfactor this week. He's probably the best 49ers running back play for DFS this weekend.
