Miami Dolphins

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.

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.

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.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice again on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Waddle's hamstring is a little banged up coming out of his big performance in the Week 14 divisional win in overtime over the New York Jets. Two limited sessions so far in Week 15 give us confidence that the 26-year-old will be able to play this Sunday against the Houston Texans, but fantasy managers will want to check in again on Friday to see if he carries an injury designation into the weekend. Like teammate Tyreek Hill, Waddle once again has a higher fantasy ceiling with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa around, although he hasn't been targeted nearly as heavily as Hill. Waddle had nine catches on a season-high 12 targets for 99 yards and had a season-high 144 yards and a score on Nov. 24. If he plays, he'll represent a WR3/flex with upside against Houston.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) upgraded to a full practice on Thursday after opening the week with a limited showing on Wednesday. Hill has been battling a wrist injury for the majority of the 2024 campaign but hasn't missed any time because of it. He actually has missed the first practice of the week in previous weeks, so his participation this week has been an upgrade, potentially indicating that his wrist is feeling better. The 30-year-old speedster needs to be locked into all fantasy lineups as a surefire WR1 for this weekend's contest against the Houston Texans. After a frustrating start to the year, the Cheetah has come on strong of late after quarterback Tua Tagovailoa returned from Injured Reserve. Since Tagovailoa's return in Week 8, Hill has 35 receptions (46 targets) for 403 yards and four touchdowns in six games played. He's back to being a safe WR1.
