NFL DRAFT ROOKIE GUIDE IS NOW LIVE!
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert is signing a one-year contract extension, according to his agent Brett Tessler. 2024 was originally the last year of his deal, but the new contract extends his deal into the 2025 campaign. Mostert, who turns 32 years old in April, has enjoyed his best seasons as a pro over the last two seasons in South Beach. Since joining the team in 2022, Mostert has rushed 390 times for 1,903 yards and 21 touchdowns. He was named to his first Pro Bowl after scoring 21 total touchdowns in 2023. Although De'Von Achane is younger and could be the lead back for Mike McDaniel in 2024, the team clearly still values Mostert, so he will remain on the fantasy radar moving forward.

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) and safety Jevon Holland (knee) aren't going to need surgery in the offseason. For Mostert, he missed the team's final two regular season games before returning in Saturday night's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the wild-card round. In his return in the frigid conditions in KC, Mostert had only eight rushing attempts for 33 yards and caught one pass for a loss of three yards. The 31-year-old had easily his best year in 2023 with Miami, picking up his first 1,000-yard rushing season while also scoring a league-high 21 touchdowns (18 rushing, three receiving). Mostert will be back with Miami in 2024, but he'll not only face regression in all categories, but he'll most likely also see fewer backfield touches with the emerging Achane earning a bigger role.

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert ran out of magic in the wild-card loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday night. In one of the coldest games in NFL history, Mostert collected 33 yards on eight carries and caught one of two targets for negative three yards. The 31-year-old posted the best season of his career after posting his first-ever 1,000 yard rushing campaign and 18 touchdowns on the ground which was the most out of anyone this year. He also was tied with Christian McCaffrey for the most rushing and receiving touchdowns combined with 21. While he had an amazing year, he started to slow down toward the end of the season and it will be difficult to replicate these results next year. On top of that, De'Von Achane will likely get a bigger chunk of opportunities, so he may not be worth a high draft pick in fantasy drafts next year at the age of 32.

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) is available ahead of Saturday's playoff matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Mostert is back after missing the final two games of the regular season due to nagging injuries. The veteran back was limited in practice to start the week, but will be fine for this game. The 31-year-old led the league in touchdowns with 23, which is impressive given how many offensive weapons the Dolphins have on their roster. That being said, Mostert will be touchdown-dependent DFS option for this tough matchup against the Chiefs defense. Mostert will be forced to share the backfield with De'Von Achane, which won't do any favors to his fantasy value.
Jan 13, 2024 6:55 PM EST
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) will be listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card playoff game versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Mostert was held out of the final two regular season games, but the good news is he was limited in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday and there is optimism that he'll play this weekend in Kansas City. The 31-year-old led all offensive skill players in 2023 with 21 total touchdowns (18 rushing, three receiving), but he's limping into the postseason and is a candidate to cede valuable backfield touches to explosive rookie De'Von Achane if he gets the green light to play on Saturday. If Mostert is active, he'll be a boom/bust, touchdown-dependent DFS option in a tough matchup on the road in expected freezing temperatures.
Jan 11, 2024 12:06 PM EST
Both Miami Dolphins running backs De'Von Achane (ribs, toe) and Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) were limited in Wednesday's practice for the second straight day as they prepare to face the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday in a wild-card playoff contest. Achane has looked good in Miami's lead-back role the last two weeks with Mostert out, but the Dolphins are expecting both Mostert and receiver Jaylen Waddle (ankle) back this weekend, which could give Achane some serious bust potential in DFS as the third-most expensive RB on DraftKings this weekend. Mostert is right behind Achane as the fourth-most expensive RB, also giving him bust potential. In his first game back in a tough road matchup against the defending Super Bowl champions, Mostert, Achane and Jeff Wilson Jr. could all be deployed in a three-headed monster attack.
Jan 10, 2024 6:13 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) was listed as limited on the team's estimated practice report on Tuesday. The Dolphins didn't officially hold a practice, but it's good news that Mostert would have at least been limited after missing the final two games of the regular season due to multiple injuries. The 31-year-old led the NFL with 21 total touchdowns and finished as the RB2 in half-PPR scoring behind only Christian McCaffrey while having a nose for the end zone in the second-highest scoring offense in the NFL in 2023. The Dolphins are optimistic he'll return for Saturday's wild-card playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs, but even if he's active, his fantasy value is trending down entering the postseason considering he hasn't played since Week 16. He's also the fourth-most expensive RB on DraftKings, behind rookie teammate De'Von Achane.
Jan 9, 2024 7:05 PM EST
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel reiterated on Monday that he's optimistic about the status of running back Raheem Mostert's (ankle, knee) in the wild-card contest this Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 31-year-old led the league with 21 total touchdowns during the regular season but has missed the last two games due to both ankle and knee ailments. With Mostert out the last two weeks, rookie De'Von Achane has handled most of the backfield snaps and touches alongside Jeff Wilson Jr. Mostert was a touchdown machine and a every-week starter in fantasy lineups during the regular season, but he'll have bust potential in the first week of the playoffs if he's active on Saturday. He'll be touchdown-dependent and could lose valuable snaps to Achane, who looked close to his pre-injury self in Week 18.
Jan 8, 2024 6:02 PM EST
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee, ankle) won't play in Sunday's AFC East title game versus the Buffalo Bills. The 31-year-old logged a limited practice session on Friday after sitting out on Wednesday and Thursday. However, despite a questionable designation, he'll miss his second consecutive contest. Mostert has been a top fantasy producer all year. But without him, De'Von Achane will nearly monopolize the backfield work in Week 18. Achane looked great in the Week 17 blowout loss to the Ravens, accruing 107 yards off 14 carries and adding four catches for 30 yards and a touchdown. Keep the rookie starting in all fantasy lineups.
Jan 7, 2024 7:04 PM EST
According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee, ankle) is unlikely to play in Sunday's AFC East meeting with the Bills. The 31-year-old didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday before logging a limited session on Friday, so it appeared there was a chance he'd be back. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case, although the question remains if his absence will extend into the postseason. That said, De'Von Achane will operate as the No. 1 option out of the backfield in Week 18. The rookie played well in the blowout loss to the Ravens in Week 17, amassing 107 yards off 14 carries. He added four catches for 30 yards and a touchdown. While Miami is already in the playoffs, the team is looking to win the division, meaning Mostert should be on the field for 60 minutes, assuming the game stays competitive. Nonetheless, despite a tough matchup versus the Bills defense, Achane has a spot in all fantasy lineups, including those participating in DFS contests.
Jan 7, 2024 1:45 AM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) is listed as questionable for the Week 18 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The veteran back missed the first two days of practice before returning on Friday. The Dolphins have already secured a playoff spot, but need this win in order to take the AFC East title. That means, Miami will want to play their starters, so Mostert should be out there. He'll be a shaky RB2 with De'Von Achane in the mix as well. Fantasy managers will have to check back closer to game time for another update.
Jan 5, 2024 6:32 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) wasn't seen at the period of practice open to the media on Thursday. If Mostert picks up a DNP on Thursday, it will be his second straight day of missed practice after he missed his first game of the year in the Week 17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The 31-year-old is probably going to have to practice in some fashion on Friday to have a chance to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Buffalo Bills that will decide the winner of the AFC East. Even if Mostert is cleared to play, he'll be in danger of seeing a smaller workload if he's not at 100 percent. When healthy this season, Mostert has been amazing for his fantasy managers with 21 total touchdowns in a career year. Rookie De'Von Achane and Jeff Wilson Jr. will benefit against Buffalo if Mostert misses a second straight game.
Jan 4, 2024 3:10 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) was not at practice for the first session of the week on Wednesday. Mostert is a question mark for a huge Week 18 contest against the division-rival Buffalo Bills this Sunday night after sitting out the Week 17 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He's going to need to get back to practice later this week to have a shot at returning, and if he's eventually listed as questionable on Friday, he'll create a tough decision for fantasy managers that are still playing for a championship. The 31-year-old has 21 total touchdowns on the year, but even if he's active, he could yield important backfield touches to rookie De'Von Achane and Jeff Wilson Jr. Mostert is currently shaping up as a volatile RB3/flex to close out the regular season.
Jan 3, 2024 4:20 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee), the NFL's leader in touchdowns with 21 on the season, is officially inactive in Week 17 in a big game against the Baltimore Ravens. The Dolphins will not have their lead back available for this AFC showdown, and they'll also be without receiver Jaylen Waddle (ankle), which means All-Pro wideout Tyreek Hill is probably going to get as many touches as he can handle against a tough Baltimore defense on the road. With Mostert sidelined, rookie De'Von Achane and Jeff Wilson Jr. will split the workload in Miami's backfield. Achane, who hasn't been as impressive as he was early on in 2023 before injuries set in, will have RB2 upside with more touches if he can break a couple long runs. Wilson could be a sneaky flex play in deeper PPR leagues.
Dec 31, 2023 11:41 AM EST
According to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero, Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee, ankle) isn't expected to suit up on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. It's a tough blow for the Dolphins. It's also not an ideal scenario for fantasy managers, considering Mostert has 21 touchdowns this season. But with Miami and Buffalo potentially battling for the AFC East in Week 18, the team will likely do whatever is necessary to get Mostert back on the field. At any rate, De'Von Achane (toe) will be the featured back on Sunday, making him a must-start in all formats. There's also room for Jeff Wilson Jr. to get somewhat involved for those looking for a streaming option.
Dec 31, 2023 1:40 AM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) returned to a limited practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for the Week 17 contest versus the Baltimore Ravens. Mostert suffered a new ankle injury in the Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys and didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday. However, the 31-year-old has not missed a game this year and is expected to play through his injuries in a big game this weekend. We aren't recommending that anyone outright bench Mostert, the league leader in total touchdowns in 2023 with 21, but he did play a season-low in offensive snaps last week and there's a chance that his reps are limited again this Sunday if he's not 100 percent. After all, the Dolphins also have explosive rookie De'Von Achane and Jeff Wilson Jr. to pick up the slack. Check back on Sunday to make sure Mostert is active in a tough matchup.
Dec 29, 2023 5:26 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) missed a second straight practice on Thursday, although he's expected to play through his injuries in Week 17 on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. The Dolphins aren't all that concerned with Mostert's new knee injury that he picked up in the Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys, which means he should return to practice on Friday and play this weekend. However, the 31-year-old played a season-low in offensive snaps last Sunday and might be dialed back a bit on Sunday so the Dolphins can keep him fresh for what they hope is a deep postseason run. Mostert needs to remain in starting fantasy lineups in Week 17 if he's active, as he leads the NFL with 21 total touchdowns (18 rushing, three receiving).
Dec 28, 2023 1:13 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running backs coach Eric Studesville expects running back Raheem Mostert (ankle) to play through his new ankle injury in the Week 17 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. Mostert has played through injuries all year, so this is nothing new for the NFL's leader in total touchdowns with 21 (18 rushing, three receiving). The 31-year-old has been rested at practice early in the week all year, so it wasn't a big surprise that he didn't practice on Wednesday. As long as he gets back on the field by Friday, Mostert should be active this Sunday in Baltimore. He played a season-low 19 offensive snaps in last Sunday's win over the Dallas Cowboys, though, so it's worth wondering if rookie De'Von Achane (toe) and Jeff Wilson Jr. could see more involvement in Week 17 if Mostert isn't 100 percent. Despite the injury concern, Mostert has been a must-start in fantasy lineups all year long.
Dec 28, 2023 12:14 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running backs Raheem Mostert (ankle) and De'Von Achane (toe) were not present with the team for practice on Wednesday. Both running backs are likely just being rested ahead of a huge Week 17 battle against the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday. Mostert has been rested during the first practice of the week pretty much all year, although he did tweak his ankle in the Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas Eve. We'll continue to keep a close eye on both Mostert's and Achane's practice status the rest of the week, but we'd expect them both to play this weekend if they return to practice on Thursday or Friday. Mostert has been Miami's primary back all year and leads the NFL with 21 total touchdowns, but he could cede more touches to Achane and Jeff Wilson Jr. these next two weeks before the start of the postseason.
Dec 27, 2023 3:36 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle) is dealing with an ankle injury, but head coach Mike McDaniel isn't concerned about him. "Good luck telling that guy (he's not playing) That's not a tree I try to climb. We'll just manage him accordingly," McDaniel said. It sounds like Miami expects Mostert to play in Week 17 versus the Baltimore Ravens, but we'll keep a close eye on the 31-year-old's status heading into Sunday's clash. We wouldn't expect him to practice on Wednesday. Mostert played a season-low 19 offensive snaps in the Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys and could see his playing time dialed back some again this weekend if he's not 100 percent. Still, Mostert is a must-start fantasy RB when he's active, as he leads the NFL with 21 total touchdowns.
