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.

Indianapolis Colts wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr. (back) and Josh Downs (toe) both logged a full practice on Thursday according to James Boyd of The Athletic. This is a great sign as both wideouts were non-participants during Wednesday's initial practice session. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor their status during Friday's practice in case they face a setback. Pittman has been dealing with this back injury for a few weeks but has not missed any games. Downs has also been dealing with a lingering injury but has also not missed any time due to it. Both wideouts should be viewed as a solid options this weekend as they will face the Minnesota Vikings who have allowed the most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.
