Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Officially questionable for Week 18
Rotowire
Mostert (knee/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Paul Gutierrez of the Raiders' official site reports.
Mostert produced a FP/DNP/LP practice log for Week 18 prep while managing knee and ankle injuries, and his status for Sunday's game may not be officially known until the Raiders announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Dylan Laube would serve as the Raiders' main returner on kickoffs and join Zamir White as the rotational backfield options behind Ashton Jeanty if Mostert is not cleared to play.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Sits out Thursday's practice
Rotowire
Mostert (knee/ankle) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Mostert's absence from Thursday's practice could be a maintenance day, given that the veteran running back was a full participant in Wednesday's session. His participation in Friday's practice will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chiefs.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Logs full practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Mostert (ankle/knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of the Raiders' official site reports.
Ankle and knee injuries prevented Mostert from suiting up for the Raiders' Week 17 loss to the Giants. However, his ability to practice in full Wednesday puts the veteran running back on track to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chiefs. Mostert has seen limited touches on offense while operating as Ashton Jeanty's backup, with the former logging 22 carries for 104 yards and 12 catches (on as many targets) for 70 yards across 12 regular-season games.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Questionable for Week 17
Rotowire
Mostert (ankle/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Mostert was listed as a DNP for the first two practices of Week 17 prep due to ankle and knee injuries, but the veteran running back was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday to earn the questionable tag for Sunday's home game. If Mostert is unable to play, then Tre Tucker and Dylan Laube would be the main returners on kickoffs. Laube and Zamir White would also be in line for more rotational snaps out of the backfield behind Ashton Jeanty.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Four offensive snaps in loss
Rotowire
Mostert rushed once for six yards and caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Texans. He also returned two kickoffs for 53 yards.
Mostert's only carry of the contest didn't come until the start of the fourth quarter, and workhorse running back Ashton Jeanty hogged the offensive spotlight with 25 total touches for 188 yards and two scores. A similarly one-sided backfield split can be expected against the Giants in Week 17.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: One touch in blowout loss
Rotowire
Mostert caught his lone target for two yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Eagles.
Mostert failed to record a single rushing attempt for the second straight week and the fourth time in 11 appearances. The veteran running back played just 10 of the Raiders' 42 offensive snaps, behind starter Ashton Jeanty (30) and ahead of Dylan Laube (2). As long as Jeanty is healthy, Mostert will retain little to no fantasy value with such limited usage. The Raiders are set to visit the Texans in Week 16.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Limited but good to go
Rotowire
Mostert (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice but holds no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Mostert appeared on Thursday's injury report with a knee injury and was able to upgrade to a limited participant in Friday's practice. The limited participation the running back engaged in seems to have been deemed thorough enough that he will play in Sunday's game. Mostert has 21 rush attempts for 98 yards through 10 games this season and will likely account for his normal relief volume behind Ashton Jeanty in Sunday's contest.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Makes one catch in loss
Rotowire
Mostert caught his lone target for two yards and he returned two kickoffs for 55 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos.
Mostert's only offensive touch of the contest came on the Raiders' final drive with less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, when he caught a short pass from backup quarterback Kenny Pickett before running out of bounds. Mostert hasn't handled more than two carries in a single game since Week 6, but he's up to 10 total receptions on as many targets for 65 yards this season.

Mostert's lone carry didn't come until the Raiders' final drive of the contest, and the 33-year-old veteran logged just two offensive snaps while rookie Ashton Jeanty handled 21 total touches out of the backfield. Expect a similarly lopsided split of the workload against the Broncos in Week 14.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Week 13 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Ashton Jeanty (ankle) was injured in the fourth quarter of Week 12 against Cleveland, but coach Pete Carroll said Jeanty should "be OK" for Week 13 at the Chargers. That said, you should plan to add Mostert for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB just in case Jeanty is out. Mostert hasn't done much this season playing behind Jeanty, with 8.3 PPR points in Week 4 against Chicago his best output of the year, but Mostert would be a flex option in all leagues if he started for the Raiders in place of Jeanty.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Three receptions in loss
Rotowire
Mostert gained two yards on one carry and caught all three of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns. He also returned two kickoffs for 55 yards.
Mostert's outing was highlighted by an 18-yard reception on the Raiders' final drive of the contest, as he handled backfield duties after rookie Ashton Jeanty exited with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter. Coach Pete Carroll indicated Jeanty's injury isn't believed to be severe, but if it impacts his availability for the team's Week 13 matchup against the Chargers, Mostert could be in line for increased volume.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Four offensive touches on MNF
Rotowire
Mostert rushed twice for six yards and caught two passes on as many targets for seven yards in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys. He also returned two kickoffs for 42 yards.
Mostert handled four offensive touches despite playing only 15 snaps behind rookie Ashton Jeanty, who was stuffed for just seven yards on six carries to go along with six receptions for 27 yards on eight targets. It could be similarly tough sledding for this Raiders offense against a stout Browns defense in Week 12.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Makes 11-yard reception in loss
Rotowire
Mostert rushed once for four yards and caught his lone target for 11 yards in Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Broncos.
Mostert has been the target of two or less offensive touches in three consecutive games, while rookie Ashton Jeanty took 19 carries for 60 yards and a score to go along with three receptions Thursday. Jeanty figures to retain the workhorse role ahead of a Week 11 matchup against the Cowboys, as Mostert remains the distant RB2 in this Raiders offense.
Mostert caught his lone target for 14 yards and returned five kickoffs for 202 yards in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.
Mostert has racked up 302 total kickoff return yards throughout the Raiders' past two games, but rookie Ashton Jeanty continues to dominate touches out of the backfield, while also proving capable as a pass catcher. Mostert's offensive involvement figures to remain limited in Denver on Thursday.

Mostert's 100 return yards marked a season high, but he failed to record a single carry after collectively rushing 16 times from Week 4 to Week 6 behind rookie Ashton Jeanty. The Raiders' offense will look to get back on track against the Jaguars in Week 9 following the upcoming bye.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Healthy scratch again
Rotowire
Mostert (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Chargers.
The veteran running back will be in street clothes for a second-straight week. It seems that Mostert is unlikely to suit up on game day unless Ashton Jeanty, Zamir White or Dylan Laube were to miss time due to injury, illness or suspension. Mostert's next chance to play is Week 3 against the Commanders on Sunday, Sept. 21.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Not playing Week 1
Rotowire
Mostert (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against New England.
Mostert's inactive status comes as a surprise, as he's not known to be dealing with an injury and was listed as the Raiders' RB2 or RB3 on the team's initial Week 1 depth chart, per Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. With Mostert out of action, Las Vegas will go with Zamir White and Dylan Laube as the active running backs behind rookie starter Ashton Jeanty.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Active in passing game Saturday
Rotowire
Mostert gained nine yards on three carries in a preseason loss to the 49ers on Saturday. He added three receptions on four targets for 16 yards.
Mostert logged fewer carries and yards than both Ashton Jeanty (7-33-1) and Chris Collier (4-26-0), but he led all Raiders running backs in targets, catches and receiving yards. He's never been a prolific receiver out of the backfield, but he may need to do more of that work this season to be at all productive with Jeanty likely to be a workhorse back for the Raiders. As it stands, Mostert is not guaranteed to be the team's No. 2 RB -- Zamir White and Sincere McCormick are also vying for that role.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Falls behind Jeanty
Rotowire
Mostert will be joined by No. 6 overall pick Ashton Jeanty in a new-look Raiders backfield.
The Raiders never figured to settle for the 33-year-old Mostert as their lead back, unchallenged, but there was at least some chance he'd compete to be 1A in a committee. He instead figures to be purely a backup, behind one of the best RB prospects in recent memory. The good news for Mostert is weak competition for backup roles, with the Raiders otherwise rostering Zamir White (quadriceps), Sincere McCormick (ankle), Dylan Laube and Chris Collier.
