Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert has had a disappointing 2024 campaign. The 2023 rushing touchdown leader has only scored two all year, and his carries have taken a drastic hit due to some fumble troubles in the middle of the season. Overall, the Miami offense has found running the football challenging this year, ranking 24th in rushing yards per game. Week 18 presents a matchup with the New York Jets, who have been solid at defending opposing running backs. They rank 12th in fantasy points allowed to running backs. That, combined with the run-blocking inconsistencies of the Miami offensive line, makes Mostert a sit for Week 18.

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert earned eight opportunities on the ground and through the air, turning that into 19 all-purpose yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Cleveland Browns. He had six carries for three yards while catching both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's victory. This type of production has been par for the course for Mostert in 2024. After having a career season last year, Mostert has taken a clear backseat to De'Von Achane in 2025. In Week 18, the Dolphins travel to New York to take on the Jets, and Mostert can be left on the bench for fantasy managers as he is not getting enough volume and opportunities to be fantasy-relevant.

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert has had an up-and-down year in 2024. Before Miami's Week 9 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams, he was considered an essential part of the ground game. Since the crucial fumble the week prior, he has received 34 touches, with the backfield touches dominated by fellow back De'Von Achane. In Week 17, he and the Dolphins will travel to take on the Cleveland Browns in a matchup where the weather conditions will play a factor in the game plan. With rain and harsh winds in the forecast, the play calling could favor the run heavily. That said, it remains tough to trust Mostert with the few opportunities he's had. He's best left on the bench for championship week.

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert carried the ball eight times for 31 yards and caught both of his targets for 15 yards in their 29-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. The 32-year-old has started seeing more carries in the last several games, but fellow backfield mate De'Von Achane will continue to see most of the work. Ever since he fumbled against the Buffalo Bills in Week 9, Mostert seems to be in the doghouse with head coach Mike McDaniel. He has not seen 10 carries in a game since then. His next opportunity will come next Sunday at the Cleveland Browns in a game where the offense might need to lean on the running game in the cold weather.

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (hip) upgraded to a full practice session on Friday and has been removed from the Week 15 injury report. After missing the Week 14 overtime win over the division-rival New York Jets, Mostert will return to face the Houston Texans on the road this Sunday. The Dolphins will have all three of their RBs active against Houston, with Mostert most likely operating as more of the RB3 behind starter De'Von Achane and rookie Jaylen Wright. After scoring a league-high 18 rushing touchdowns in 2023, the 32-year-old veteran has fallen way back down to Earth and has only two TDs while averaging a career-worst 3.6 yards per carry on 65 rushing attempts. In his last four games, Mostert has 10 carries for 22 rushing yards. He will be picking up scraps behind Achane and belongs on the waiver wire in 12-team fantasy leagues.
Dec 13, 2024 5:28 PM EST
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said he's optimistic about running back Raheem Mostert's (hip) availability for the Week 15 contest on Sunday against the hosting Houston Texans. Mostert was not active for the Week 14 overtime win over the division-rival New York Jets last Sunday, but he appears to be on track to play this weekend after putting in limited practices. It's bad news for any fantasy managers in deeper leagues that were planning on using rookie Jaylen Wright in a flex spot. Mostert himself should be avoided as a flex play if he's active on Sunday in Houston, as the 32-year-old veteran has seen just 10 rushing attempts for 22 yards in his last four games, adding five catches for 46 yards. Even before Mostert's injury, Wright was beginning to take more and more valuable backfield touches away from Mostert behind starter De'Von Achane.
Dec 13, 2024 1:01 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (hip) was limited for the second straight day in practice this week on Thursday. Mostert was also limited in all three practices last week and ended up being inactive for the Week 14 overtime win over the division-rival New York Jets. It means that the 32-year-old veteran is in danger of missing a second straight game unless he upgrades to a full-go in Friday's practice. Even if Mostert practices on Friday and is active in Week 15 on Sunday against the Houston Texans, he won't come recommended as a flex play in fantasy lineups. Mostert has only 65 carries for 236 yards (career-worst 3.6 yards per carry) and two touchdowns in nine games this year and hasn't seen double-digit carries since Nov. 3. Rookie Jaylen Wright had been seeing more reps behind De'Von Achane in recent weeks, although he had only four touches for 13 yards in Week 15 with Mostert out.
Dec 12, 2024 5:45 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (hip) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Mostert was limited all of last week in practice and did not suit up for the Week 14 win over the division-rival New York Jets in overtime. The 32-year-old veteran will need to make more progress in practice the next couple days to have a shot at returning to the field this Sunday to face the Houston Texans. After scoring a league-high 18 rushing touchdowns in 15 games for Miami last year and also recording his first-ever 1,000-yard rushing season, Mostert has 65 rushing attempts for only 236 yards and two scores in nine games in 2024 as a much more distant backup to De'Von Achane. Rookie Jaylen Wright was seeing more involvement in the backfield before Mostert's injury, too, so he belongs on the waiver wire in 12-team fantasy leagues.
Dec 11, 2024 10:25 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (hip) is officially inactive for Week 14 against the New York Jets. He had been listed as questionable after being limited in practice all week long. The veteran has handled a very reduced workload and snap share for most of this season, tallying just 236 rushing yards, 117 receiving yards, and two touchdowns through nine games. He ranks as the overall RB54 in fantasy football this year, so he would have belonged on fantasy benches (or waivers) even if active. Look for rookie Jaylen Wright to step up as Miami's No. 2 running back behind De'Von Achane.
Dec 8, 2024 11:36 AM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (hip) is not expected to suit up Sunday when his team takes on the New York Jets, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The veteran already had seen a decrease in playing time, logging fewer than 40% of Miami's snaps in five straight weeks. Running back De'Von Achane will continue to run the show out of the Dolphins' backfield with rookie Jaylen Wright mixing in as well. Now in his 10th season in the league, Mostert's days as a fantasy option are probably behind him.
Dec 8, 2024 7:28 AM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (hip) was limited in practice all week and has drawn a questionable tag for the team's Week 14 divisional matchup this Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium against the New York Jets. Mostert made his first Pro Bowl in 2023 when he led the league with a whopping 18 rushing touchdowns. This year, he's taken more of a back seat to second-year back De'Von Achane, carrying the ball just 65 times for 236 rushing yards (career-low 3.6 yards per carry) and only two rushing TDs in nine games. He led the team in rushing in last Thursday's loss to the Green Bay Packers, but it amounted to just 19 yards on five carries. Even if Mostert is active on Sunday, he won't carry standalone fantasy value and will continue losing valuable playing time to rookie Jaylen Wright. Wright would have an elevated role as a change-of-pace option if Mostert is ruled out.
Dec 6, 2024 6:03 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (hip) was listed as limited in the team's first practice of Week 14 preparation on Wednesday. Mostert's hip injury dates back to the Nov. 17 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders, but it's a minor injury that he has played through. Therefore, barring a setback later this week, the 32-year-old veteran should be available to play in Week 14 against the division-rival New York Jets on Sunday. Mostert surprisingly led the Dolphins in rushing in last Thursday night's loss to the Green Bay Packers, when he had just 19 yards on five rushing attempts. It was the second straight week Mostert saw over 30% of the offensive snaps, but it hasn't led to much production. As long as starter De'Von Achane remains healthy, Mostert has no standalone fantasy appeal on game days. He's averaging a career-low 3.6 yards per carry and has 10 carries for 22 yards in the last four contests.
Dec 4, 2024 5:51 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert carried the ball five times for 19 yards and caught two of three targets for 15 yards in their 30-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Before the Thanksgiving game, it had appeared Jaylen Wright took over the backup running back role from Mostert and had been receiving more carries recently. Thursday's game script was not friendly for the rushing attack, with Miami down 24-3 going into halftime. At this point of the season, Mostert is unstartable and should be left on the bench with how inconsistently he's getting touches. Mostert gets a tough matchup next week when the New York Jets come to town.
Nov 29, 2024 12:36 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert carried the ball two times for five yards and caught his only target for a loss of three yards. This game is further evidence that head coach Mike McDaniels has Mostert in the doghouse in favor of rookie Jaylen Wright. He was out-touched seven to three in favor of Wright. On top of that, he has played fewer snaps than Wright in the last three games. Week 12 also marks the third game in a row where Mostert has had three carries or less. The 2023 touchdown leader is borderline droppable in fantasy football without the touchdown upside. His next opportunity will be on Thanksgiving night against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
Nov 24, 2024 10:18 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert has been nonexistent since his costly fumble back in Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills. So much so that he didn't even receive a single carry last week vs. the Las Vegas Raiders in their 34-19 win; that can all change this week. Mostert will go up against a New England Patriots run defense that has given up the third-most rushing yards to running backs this season. It should also be noted that in his last three meetings, the 32-year-old speedster averaged 82.3 rushing yards per game and had three touchdowns. With the recent lack of playing time, Mostert is a touchdown-dependent flex at best for Week 12 and is RotoBaller's RB40 for Week 12.
Nov 23, 2024 8:18 AM EST
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.
Nov 20, 2024 4:42 PM EST
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.
Nov 18, 2024 5:42 AM EST
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.
Nov 16, 2024 4:59 PM EST
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.
Nov 12, 2024 12:44 AM EST
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.
