Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (hip) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, according to Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post. The veteran running back sustained this injury during last weekend's victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. This is a great sign to see him participate in a full practice session early in the week, which suggests this injury was fairly minor. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status during the week if he faces a setback. Over the past two weeks, Mostert has slowly begun to lose work to rookie Jaylen Wright. For now, Mostert should only be viewed as a low-end flex option/RB3 in deeper 14+ team formats until he begins to see an increase in workload.
Raheem Mostert Invisible In Week 11 Win Over Raiders
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert carried the ball three times for a loss of two yards in Sunday's 34-19 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. In the wake of Mostert's fumble troubles, it's looking increasingly like head coach Mike McDaniels favors turning to youngster Jaylen Wright behind De'Von Achane for the RB2 role. In recent weeks, Wright has seen a slight uptick in involvement, outpacing Mostert in carries four to three on Sunday. He went from a combined 30 carries in Weeks 7-9 to three in the last two weeks. Although there are still some opportunities to escape the doghouse, Miami has little margin for error in a tight battle for a playoff spot. The next matchup is at home against the struggling New England Patriots.
Raheem Mostert: A Shaky Flex Option Against Raiders
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert comes into Week 11 against the Las Vegas Raiders after an alarming performance against the Los Angeles Rams last week. He did not log a rushing attempt and only caught two of three targets for 34 yards. The 2023 rushing touchdown leader has also not scored a touchdown in his last two games. Mike McDaniels is not pleased with the costly fumbles, and due to Miami's (3-6) record, the margin for error for the rest of the season is minimal. While the Raiders defense has given up the seventh most points per game to opposing running backs and allowed 1,007 total rushing yards on the season, it isn't easy to imagine Mostert getting enough touches to justify starting him. Be cautious if starting him this week; he could be very touchdown-dependent. Mostert is this week's RB35 in the Week 11 RotoBaller rankings.
Raheem Mostert Doesn't Log A Rushing Attempt In Monday's Win Over The Rams
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert caught two of three targets for 34 yards but did not log a rushing attempt in Monday's 23-15 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. His best play came on a 3rd and 19 when Mostert caught a short pass and ran it for 25 yards to move the chains. One can only assume his carries are starting to take a hit due to his recent fumble troubles. Miami has little room for error due to their (3-6) record, and head coach Mike McDaniels has made it clear he's not afraid to make changes. The offense could only muster 67 rushing yards as the offensive line struggled in run blocking for most of the night. That could be a trend with the amount of injuries the Miami offensive line is dealing with. Mostert will look to bounce back against the struggling Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11.
Raheem Mostert Once Again A Solid Flex Play For Week 10
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert has effectively run the ball in 2024. Besides Week 1, where he left early, he's averaging 4.1 yards per carry and has two touchdowns. However, he has had trouble holding onto the ball in recent weeks. He lost a fumble last week against the Buffalo Bills, which cost Miami in the long run. He gets a matchup this week against a somewhat vulnerable Los Angeles Rams defense. They rank 16th in fantasy points per game allowed to running backs and give up an average of 109.4 yards to running backs. There's potential in this game for a lot of scoring, which could mean goal-line touches for Mostert. He's a formidable flex play in Week 10 and comes in as RotoBallers RB31.
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert rushed the ball 10 times for 56 yards and added two receptions for 32 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He also lost a fumble. While Mostert has been putting up solid rushing stats since his return in Week 5, his fumbling troubles have overshadowed some of the production. Miami is third in fumbles since 2023 (14). He contributed four of them in 2023 and has two more in 2024. Nonetheless, his yards-per-carry output remains solid, and he still received 12 touches. The 2023 rushing touchdown leader went empty on the day, but that won't be a regular occurrence. De'Von Achane was able to get in twice from inside the red zone, obviously hurting Mostert's production. He'll look to bounce back in Week 10 at the Los Angeles Rams.
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert checks into Week 9 coming off a two-touchdown performance last week versus the Arizona Cardinals. The return of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) proved what the offense needed, putting up their highest point total of the season. This week, he gets another great matchup against his division rival, the Buffalo Bills. While Buffalo's defense has been solid this year, they struggle to defend the run. They have allowed the second most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2024. Additionally, opposing teams are averaging 4.5 yards per carry against them, and they rank 19th in red zone fantasy points allowed to running backs. Mostert should get a healthy dose of touches, considering the temperatures are projected to be in the thirties in Orchard Park on Sunday. Mostert should continue to see goal-line touches, making him a flex-play for Week 9. He comes in at RB31 for this week's RotoBaller running back rankings.
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert is set to square off against the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday in Week 7. Mostert returned to action in Week 5 after missing three weeks with a chest injury that kept him sidelined since Week 1. The 32-year-old was afforded an extra week of rest with the team's Week 6 bye and is ready to roll for an intriguing Week 7 matchup. Indianapolis has been Swiss Cheese against opposing rushing attacks in 2024, letting up 4.6 yards per rush (fourth-most) and the second-most yards on the ground per game (155.2). The Purdue product's 19 carries in Week 5 led the team. However, with De'Von Achane (concussion) projected to be back in the fold, he may take somewhat of a backseat. Before Achane was forced from the victory against the Patriots two weeks back, he received three of the first five backfield touches, while Mostert and rookie RB Jaylen Wright split the other two. Mostert was the preferred option sans Achane, but it's tough to project him to lead his teammates with all backs healthy. The former undrafted free agent is RotoBaller's PPR RB38 in this week's rankings.
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert rushed 19 times for 80 yards in Sunday's 15-10 win over the New England Patriots. He added two receptions and 18 yards on two targets. It was the 32-year-old's first action since Week 1, and he appeared to be over the chest injury that kept him out of the prior three contests. It's unclear whether or not the plan was to give Mostert 20+ touches, but after running back De'Von Achane (concussion) was forced from the outing in the first quarter, he split the workload with rookie RB Jaylen Wright. Both backs were productive for the Dolphins, but Mostert was out-rushed by the rookie despite racking up six more carries. With Miami heading into their Week 6 bye, Achane will be afforded a larger window to clear the NFL's concussion protocol and will likely be ready to suit up when the team lines up against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7. Presumably, the former undrafted free agent will split most of the backfield touches with the Texas A&M product in that one. However, Wright may have worked himself into the backfield rotation with his efficient outing.
Miami Dolphins running backs Raheem Mostert (chest) and Jeff Wilson Jr. (knee) have both been cleared to play in Week 5 on Sunday against the division-rival New England Patriots. Mostert has been out of action since the season-opening win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday before being taken off the final injury report after a full practice on Friday. Fantasy managers should be hesitant to use Mostert as a flex play unless they are desperate, though, as head coach Mike McDaniel said that the 32-year-old veteran would likely have his snaps scaled back in his first game back. On top of the expected limited workload, Miami's offense will have far less upside altogether for as long as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) remains sidelined. Miami will likely mix in Mostert and rookie Jaylen Wright behind starter De'Von Achane against New England.
