Graphed Representation - PPG

• When one running back is up, the others are down

First it was a trial run with all RBs, then it was Breida, then it was Coleman, then it ended with Mostert.

Negative y-axis looks funky but twice a RB had a negative game.

Fantasy Finishes

• Mostert RB26
• Coleman RB39
• Breida RB46

Mostert ended the season on a strong 6 game stretch averaging 16.25 PPG.

Game averages:
- 11.67 carries
- 70.67 yards
- 1.17 receptions

He had 8 touchdowns (!!), at least 1 in each game.

(6/8)
Each RB had at least one 100+ yard rushing game, Breida had the most with two.

Who knows what could have been if all RBs were healthy. Shanahan calls the ‘starter’ the guy getting the bulk of the carries — and that can be any RB at any given time.

(7/8)
2020 Outlook:

Mostert & Coleman figure to lead the group in 2020. Will McKinnon come back? Shanahan found an UDFA in Hasty (Breida, Mostert, Coleman were UDFA)

The only certainty is the uncertainity. Maybe Shanahan finally gives one RB all the work.

Maybe. Probably not.
