Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Musters 21 total yards in return
Rotowire
Mostert rushed six times for eight yards and brought in all three targets for 13 yards in the Dolphins' 20-12 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Mostert made his return from a one-game absence due to a hip injury, and he finished with his third single-digit rushing yardage total in the last four games. Mostert's reception total was a new season high, yet it's clear he's a distant second fiddle, at best, to De'Von Achane in Miami's unproductive ground attack barring an injury to the latter.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Cleared to play Week 15
Rotowire
Mostert (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Texans and is expected to play, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
After limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Mostert got in a full session Friday and is ready to return following a one-game absence. It's been a challenging 2024 for the 32-year-old running back, as he's compiled a 65-236-2 rushing line while averaging a career-low 3.6 yards per carry. He'll help spell De'Von Achane versus Houston.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Optimism for Week 15
Rotowire
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Friday he's "optimistic" Mostert (hip) will be able to play Sunday versus the Texans, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Mostert has been limited in practice as of late due to a hip injury, the same issue that forced him to sit out Week 14 against the Jets. Even if he's active at Houston on Sunday, Mostert's opportunity share isn't guaranteed to bring fantasy relevance. The veteran back has combined for just 10 carries for 22 yards across his last four appearances, in addition to five grabs for 46 yards on seven targets.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Remains limited at practice
Rotowire
Mostert (hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Mostert was a limited participant in practice throughout last week before he was inactive for Sunday's overtime win over the Jets. With that in mind, he'll likely need to upgrade to full practice participation by Friday in order to approach this weekend's game against the Texans without an injury designation. If Mostert remains sidelined, however, added snaps out of the backfield would be available to reserve backs Jaylen Wright and Jeff Wilson.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Officially inactive
Rotowire
Mostert (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Mostert practiced in limited fashion throughout the week, but that won't be enough for him to suit up for Miami's Week 14 divisional matchup. De'Von Achane will continue to handle the majority of touches out of the backfield, though Jaylen Wright should see a bump in his role.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Questionable after limited practice
Rotowire
Mostert (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Mostert was limited in all three of Miami's practices during the week. If Mostert's unable to play Sunday, rookie Jaylen Wright would complement lead back De'Von Achane in Miami's backfield, with Jeff Wilson on hand for depth.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Mostert appears back as the No. 2 running back in Miami after he had seven total touches in Week 13 at Green Bay, while Jaylen Wright didn't touch the ball. That said, should something happen to De'Von Achane, both running backs would probably work in tandem for the Dolphins, so it's likely a fluid situation. It's still a good idea to stash Mostert for 1 percent of your remaining FAB, and he could also be a potential flex option in deeper leagues in Week 14 with a favorable matchup against the Jets at home.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Leading rusher in Week 13 loss
Rotowire
Mostert rushed five times for 19 yards during the Dolphins' 30-17 loss to the Packers on Thursday. He also caught two of three targets for 15 yards.
Mostert was Miami's best option on the ground during Thursday's underwhelming loss, and he also had a 26-yard stiff-arm run wiped out by a holding penalty late in the third quarter. It was notable to see Mostert retake the No. 2 role from rookie Jaylen Wright, but he remains a lackluster fantasy option heading into a Week 14 home game against the Jets. Through nine games this season, Mostert has only compiled 236 rushing yards on 65 carries (3.6 YPA), with two touchdowns.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Used sparingly in backup role
Rotowire
Mostert secured two of three targets for 34 yards during Miami's 23-15 win over the Rams on Monday.
Mostert did not log a single carry during Monday night's win, while De'Von Achane rushed 12 times for 37 yards and Jaylen Wright logged five carries for three yards. Achane was also more involved than Mostert in the receiving game, securing all five of his targets for 15 yards. All three of Tua Tagovailao's targets to Mostert came on third down, and the veteran running back's 15 percent share of offensive snaps marked a season low. Mostert had logged at least 10 carries in three of four appearances leading up to Monday's win, but his role has to be considered uncertain heading into a Week 11 home game against the Raiders.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: RBs to Sit
Rotowire
De'Von Achane has lived up to the billing as a breakout candidate, and he has scored at least 23 PPR points in all four games Tua Tagovailoa has started this season. Mostert hasn't had the same success, and he has two fumbles in his past three games. He's also scored 8.8 PPR points or less in two of his past three outings, and he's tough to trust heading into Week 10 at the Rams. Mostert will need to score a touchdown to have a quality Fantasy outing, and the Rams haven't allowed a running back to score a touchdown in their past three games against the Raiders, Vikings, and Seahawks. At best, Mostert is a flex option for Week 10.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Outplayed by Achane in Week 9
Rotowire
Mostert rushed 10 times for 56 yards, caught both of his targets for 32 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Bills.
Mostert touched the ball on Miami's first three plays of the second half, and while he compiled 30 scrimmage yards during that stretch, it ended on a sour note when he lost a fumble. He finished with 12 touches compared to 20 for De'Von Achane, who compiled 121 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. Mostert had a two-touchdown performance of his own in Week 8 against Arizona, but Achane has the higher floor in Miami's productive backfield heading into Week 10 against the Rams.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Scores twice in Week 8 loss
Rotowire
Mostert rushed nine times for 19 yards and two touchdowns while catching one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.
Mostert helped the Dolphins welcome back starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) by capping Miami's opening drive with a one-yard touchdown run. The veteran running back added a six-yard rushing score in the fourth quarter, but he was otherwise outperformed on the ground by De'Von Achane, who had 10 carries for 97 rushing yards and a receiving touchdown. Achane is usually the favorite to lead Miami's backfield in touches and yards, but Mostert's success by the goal line is nothing new, as he produced a league-best 18 rushing touchdowns in 2023. Both Dolphins running backs will be in fantasy starter consideration in Week 9 against a Bills defense that has been better against the pass than the run.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Sleeper RBs
Rotowire
The Dolphins offense should improve dramatically with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) expected to return in Week 8, and that should benefit all of the main skill players. Mostert ran well in his past two games against the Patriots, and Colts, with a combined 30 carries for 130 yards and two catches for 18 yards on two targets over that span, although he lost a fumble in Week 7 at Indianapolis. De'Von Achane is a must-start running back in all leagues against the Cardinals, who have allowed seven running backs to score at least 12 PPR points this season, and Mostert is worth using as a flex.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Churns out 50 yards Sunday
Rotowire
Mostert carried the ball 11 times for 50 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Colts.
De'Von Achane led the Miami backfield with 15 totes for 77 yards, but Mostert found some success as well, even with the Colts' defense having little to worry about through the air. The Dolphins could lean even more heavily on their backfield in Week 8 against the Cardinals -- Tyler Huntley (shoulder) left Sunday's game in the third quarter, joining Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) and Skylar Thompson (ribs) on the sideline. If none of those QBs are ready to go next week, 30-year-old career backup Tim Boyle would get the start.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: RBs to Start
Rotowire
Mostert might be the lead running back for the Dolphins in Week 7 against the Colts if De'Von Achane (concussion) is out, which would make him a must-start option in all leagues. Even if Achane plays, Mostert would be at least a flex, and he had 19 carries for 80 yards and two catches for 18 yards in Week 5 at New England, which is the game where Achane was injured. Four running backs this season have scored at least 15.1 PPR points against the Colts, including two in a row with Tank Bigsby and Tony Pollard.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Impressive numbers in return
Rotowire
Mostert rushed 19 times for 80 yards and brought in both targets for 18 yards in the Dolphins' 15-10 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Mostert, making his return from a three-game absence due to a chest injury, wasn't expected to walk back into a full workload, but De'Von Achane's first-half exit due to a concussion scuttled those plans. The veteran responded in impressive fashion, consistently grinding out solid gains while splitting work with rookie Jaylen Wright, who stood out with a 13-86 line on the ground. Achane should have plenty of time to clear concussion protocol during the Week 6 bye, but Mostert should have a complementary role at minimum in a Week 7 road battle against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 20.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Could play Sunday, practice pending
Rotowire
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that Mostert (chest) could suit up Sunday versus New England on modified reps, depending on how much he's able to do in practice Friday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Mostert has practiced in a limited capacity since his return to on-field activities Sept. 18, so it sounds like the veteran running back may need to handle a full session Friday in order to be cleared for Week 5. Even if given the green light to play in New England, though, it sounds like Mostert would remain on a snap count. McDaniel said the same for wide receiver Odell Beckham (knee), who resumed practicing Wednesday but has yet to be fully activated from the reserve/PUP list.

Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Remains limited at practice
Rotowire
Mostert (chest) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Mostert was also limited last week, but ended up inactive for Monday's loss to the Titans and has now missed three straight games. The running back has two more chances to increase his practice participation level in advance of Sunday's game at New England. If Mostert remains sidelined this weekend against the Patriots, De'Von Achane would continue to lead Miami's backfield.
