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.
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel reiterated on Monday that he's optimistic about the chances of wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (ankle) playing in Saturday's wild-card playoff game on the road in Kansas City against the Chiefs. Waddle missed the final two weeks of the regular season but is hoping to return this weekend for the first round of the postseason. The 25-year-old took a clear back seat to Tyreek Hill in 2023, but that didn't stop him from reaching the 1,000-yard mark for the third straight season to open his career in the second-highest scoring offense in football. Waddle also had 72 receptions on 104 targets for a career-low four touchdowns. He'll be a bit more risky coming off his injury against an underrated Chiefs defense if he's active, but his return would be welcomed news for a Dolphins offense that hasn't been the same without him in two consecutive losses.
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.
Atlanta Falcons tight end Jonnu Smith caught all three of his targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in the Week 18 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He ended the solid campaign on a high note and set career-highs in receptions (50) and receiving yards (582) this season. The Falcons have a potential out in his contract this offseason, but there will be a new head coach calling the shots. If Smith sticks around, he could continue to be a thorn in the side of Kyle Pitts. If he lands somewhere as a clear lead tight end, he could return to having TE1 upside in 2024.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill posted his 10th game in WR1 territory and finished as the WR2 on the season. He finished the game against the Buffalo Bills with seven receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown while receiving 13 targets. The next highest pass-catchers in terms of targets were tight end Durham Smythe and receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. with three catches apiece. Hill finished second to CeeDee Lamb in half- and full-PPR leagues this year in large part due to Lamb posting some of the best games of his season in the final three weeks. As long as Hill remains healthy going into next season, he should remain a high draft pick in redraft leagues despite approaching 30 years old. Hill finished this year with 119 catches for 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns.
