Raheem Mostert or Tyler Allgeier Week 7 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Fantasy Football projections for RBs

Raheem Mostert and Tyler Allgeier are two potential fantasy football running backs to use in Week 7 lineups. They both turned in season-best performances in their most recent games, so they appear to be trending in the right direction.

For managers debating between which one of them they should start in their lineups this week, here's which one is a better pick.

Is Raheem Mostert a good fantasy pick in Week 7?

Raheem Mostert missed three weeks this season with an injury, but he returned in the Miami Dolphins' most recent game against the New England Patriots. He set season-highs with 21 touches for 98 scrimmage yards on his way to a season-best RB21 finish.

This gives him an upside in Week 7, especially considering his favorable matchup with the Indianapolis Colts' struggling defense.

The veteran's outstanding performance can be attributed in part to De'Von Achane's early exit from the game due to a concussion. He finished as the overall RB2 last season, so even if Achane returns this week, Mostert remains a viable Flex option.

Is Tyler Allgeier a good fantasy pick in Week 7?

Tyler Allgeier serves as the RB2 for the Atlanta Falcons this year behind Bijan Robinson, but he has still maintained a solid role in their offense. He has recorded at least ten touches in four of his six games this year and eclipsed 50 scrimmage yards in three of them.

This includes a massive performance last week when he finished as the weekly RB6 in fantasy football with 108 yards and a touchdown.

His breakout game may have earned him additional work going forward, especially considering Allgeier set a season-high by playing in 41% of the offensive snaps.

He will look to build off of this momentum in Week 7 fantasy football against the Seattle Seahawks, who are allowing the sixth-most rushing yards per game in the NFL this year.

Raheem Mostert or Tyler Allgeier: Who Should I Start in Week 7 fantasy football?

Raheem Mostert is the recommended running back to use in Week 7 fantasy football lineups over Tyler Allgeier. They both have solid matchups this week against struggling defenses, but the Dolphins' back gets the edge this week with his superior projections.

Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool predicts that Mostert will score more than an additional fantasy point than Allgeier in PPR leagues this week. His expected involvement as a receiver is one of the main reasons why he is the preferred pick, as well as his higher likelihood of scoring a touchdown.
