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.
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.
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.
