Raheem Mostert NEWS
Raheem Mostert Won't Face Bills
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (thumb) will not play in the Wild Card game against the Buffalo Bills. Mostert suffered a broken thumb in the playoff-clinching win over the Jets, so it remains to be seen whether he could return next week should the Dolphins survive and advance. With Mostert out of the picture, Jeff Wilson Jr. should see a healthy workload. That said, Buffalo should score with ease and force rookie Skylar Thompson into obvious passing situations. It's tough to project Wilson to have much volume or touchdown upside, so he's generally a weak DFS play in this game.
Jan 13, 2023 • 9:27 PM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Misses Another Practice
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (thumb) was not present at practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Mostert is dealing with a significant fractured thumb, and his availability for this weekend's wild-card game against the Buffalo Bills is in serious jeopardy. Jeff Wilson Jr. is also dealing with an illness this week, so Miami's backfield is pretty banged up heading into the postseason. With quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) ruled out and rookie Skylar Thompson in line to get the start, fantasy managers are going to want to downgrade all of Miami's offensive skill players in fantasy leagues, including wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
Jan 12, 2023 • 6:59 PM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Picks Up A DNP On Wednesday
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (thumb) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice while dealing with a fractured thumb. Mostert suffered what the team is referring to as a serious break of his thumb in the Week 18 win over the New York Jets, and his status for Sunday's wild-card contest against the Buffalo Bills is now in question. Fantasy managers are already fading most of Miami's offensive skill players with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) ruled out and rookie Skylar Thompson expected to make the start against a formidable defense. Mostert did have 17 carries for a season-high 136 yards on the ground in the most recent meeting with Buffalo in Week 15, but things are much different now. If Mostert is unable to play, Jeff Wilson Jr. will be asked to take on a bigger role.
Jan 12, 2023 • 1:48 AM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Has Broken Thumb
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert suffered a broken thumb in the win over the New York Jets in Week 18. Since Miami clinched a playoff berth by way of a win and Patriots' loss, his status for the Wild Card game against the Buffalo Bills is in jeopardy. However, running backs have played with broken fingers before, so DFSers should monitor his status up to game day on Sunday. His pass-catching upside and ball security could be affected, but his speed and touchdown upside will likely remain the same if he can play. If he can't play Jeff Wilson Jr. should see a healthy workload as the clear cut RB1.
Jan 9, 2023 • 7:04 PM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Downgraded To Out
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (thumb) exited Week 18 against the New York Jets and won't return. The 30-year-old rushed 11 times for 71 yards before departing the contest. Jeff Wilson Jr. should lead Miami's backfield the rest of the way.
Jan 8, 2023 • 8:50 PM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Questionable To Return Sunday
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (thumb) exited Week 18 against the New York Jets and is officially listed as questionable. The 30-year-old rushed 11 times for 71 yards before departing the contest. Jeff Wilson Jr. should lead Miami's backfield until Mostert can return.
Jan 8, 2023 • 8:15 PM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Will Return In Week 13
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) was removed from the final injury report on Friday and will suit up in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Meanwhile, running back Myles Gaskin (ankle, shoulder) is listed as questionable after returning to a limited practice on Friday. Mostert missed the Week 12 game coming off the team's bye week, but he'll return this weekend and is expected to slot in behind Jeff Wilson Jr. in Miami's backfield. The 30-year-old did find the end zone on the ground in each of his previous two games, but he also saw just 17 rushing attempts combined while sharing touches with Wilson. Against a tough 49ers run D, Mostert will be a volatile, touchdown-dependent RB3/flex for fantasy managers.
Dec 3, 2022 • 12:47 AM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Puts In Limited Practice Wednesday
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice. Mostert was held out of the easy Week 12 win over the Houston Texans coming off the team's bye week, but the Dolphins expect him to return this Sunday to face his former team, the San Francisco 49ers. Jeff Wilson Jr. has become Miami's preferred back, but he and Mostert will likely share the backfield touches this weekend against a stout Niners defense. Coming off an injury and dealing with shared touches in a bad matchup doesn't exactly make Mostert enticing from a fantasy perspective. If he's active, he'll be a low-upside, touchdown-dependent RB3/flex that is looking to score for a third consecutive game.
Dec 1, 2022 • 1:30 AM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Should Return In Week 13
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that running back Raheem Mostert (knee) "should be ready to go this week." "I think he could've played (vs. Houston) and if we had adhered to his hopes and desires he might've played last week. It was too risky to what he means to the team," McDaniel said. Fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on Mostert's practice status this week, but barring any setbacks, it sounds like he'll be back on the field this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. However, Jeff Wilson Jr. has quickly taken over as the Dolphins' lead back after coming over from San Francisco, which has made Mostert a low-upside, touchdown-dependent RB3/flex in fantasy. Mostert has found the end zone in his last two games played, but he hasn't seen double-digit carries since Week 8.
Nov 30, 2022 • 5:30 PM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Inactive For Week 12
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) has been ruled out for the Week 12 matchup against the Houston Texans. He was doubtful heading into this game as the Dolphins will take the cautious approach here. Jeff Wilson Jr. will be the lead back against one of the worst defenses in the league. That being said, he's looking like a strong fantasy option for Sunday's slate. The expectation is that Salvon Ahmed and Myles Gaskin will get mixed in as change-of-pace backs, but Wilson is the best play here.
Nov 27, 2022 • 4:37 PM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Listed As Doubtful Against Texans
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) is officially listed as doubtful to play in Week 12 against the Houston Texans. Head coach Mike McDaniel said it will be an uphill battle for Mostert to play on Sunday against the Texans, so it will be the Jeff Wilson Jr. show against Houston's last-ranked run defense this weekend. Fantasy managers that have Wilson rostered need to fire him up in a starting spot in all leagues. It's a disappointing development for Mostert's managers with the Dolphins coming off their bye week. The 30-year-old is now clearly behind Wilson in Miami's backfield and will be more of a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex when he returns to action. With Mostert most likely out Sunday, Salvon Ahmed and Myles Gaskin will battle for change-of-pace work behind Wilson.
Nov 25, 2022 • 11:17 PM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert To Be Game-Time Decision
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that running back Raheem Mostert's (knee) availability for the Week 12 game against the Houston Texans on Sunday will go right up to the game. McDaniel said that if Mostert can't play, it will have been very close. The 30-year-old missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, so he'll have to get in at least a limited practice on Friday to receive a questionable tag for the weekend. With the injury aside, Mostert has lost fantasy appeal with the arrival of Jeff Wilson Jr., who has basically taken over as the Dolphins' lead back. Even if Mostert is active against Houston, he'll be a shaky touchdown-dependent RB3/flex with limited upside. If he's out, Salvon Ahmed and Myles Gaskin would be fighting for change-of-pace work behind Wilson.
Nov 25, 2022 • 5:05 PM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Good To Go Against Lions
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) was removed from the final injury report on Friday and will be active in Week 8 against the Detroit Lions. Mostert practiced in full on Wednesday before putting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. The 30-year-old has taken over lead-back duties from Chase Edmonds the last three weeks and has become a solid RB2 play for fantasy managers. He's played at least 62 percent of the offensive snaps each of the last four weeks and has totaled 63 rushing attempts for 310 yards (4.92 yards per carry) and a touchdown while catching eight of 13 targets for 50 yards and another score. Against a bad Lions defense this weekend, Mostert could have a second strong week for his fantasy managers.
Oct 29, 2022 • 12:27 AM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle, Raheem Mostert Limited Thursday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) and running back Raheem Mostert (knee) were both listed as limited practice participants on Thursday. Waddle put in his second straight limited practice, but he doesn't appear to be in danger of missing Week 8 against the Detroit Lions. If active, Waddle has a pretty good shot at picking up his fourth 100-yard game of the 2022 campaign against the Lions' weak secondary. Mostert was limited after being a full-go on Wednesday, so his status needs to be monitored heading into the weekend. He has seen double-digit carries each of the last four weeks and has clearly taken over this backfield from Chase Edmonds, so if Mostert is active, he'll be a strong RB2 choice in Week 8.
Oct 27, 2022 • 11:50 PM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Officially Good To Go For Week 7
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) will play on Sunday night versus Pittsburgh. The 30-year-old dealt with a knee issue during the week, forcing him to practice twice in a limited capacity. However, he logged a full session on Friday, so it appeared he was in line to play all along. The 30-year-old has 47 carries for 231 yards and a touchdown in the last three games, erasing all doubt about who's the No. 1 option out of the backfield. While the Steelers defense hasn't been horrible at stopping opposing fantasy backs in 2022-23, it's certainly not good enough to keep Mostert out of fantasy consideration.
Oct 23, 2022 • 11:12 PM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Puts In Full Practice
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) was able to put in a full practice on Thursday after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. Mostert should be in line to serve as Miami's lead back once again this Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of Chase Edmonds, who has just three carries in the last two games. Meanwhile, Mostert has 32 carries in that two-week span for 162 yards and a touchdown while also catching two passes for eight yards. The Steelers defense has allowed the 12th-most half-point PPR fantasy points per game to opposing RBs through the first six weeks. Miami's offense should have a higher ceiling with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) returning this week. Mostert is a low-end RB2 in fantasy.
Oct 20, 2022 • 11:59 PM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Limited Wednesday
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. He played through the knee issue during the Week 6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The 30-year-old has taken over Chase Edmonds as the team's lead back and has logged at least 14 rushing attempts over the last three weeks. He has rushed for 309 yards on 71 attempts and a touchdown while catching eight passes for 64 yards over six games in 2022. The knee issue shouldn't keep the veteran from suiting up against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he has two more chances to log a full practice. Mostert is a borderline RB2 against the Steelers in Week 7.
Oct 20, 2022 • 12:41 PM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Active For Week 6
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) is officially active for Week 6 against the Minnesota Vikings. He had been listed as questionable but seemed confident that he would be able to play. Indeed, Mostert will suit up and serve as Miami's lead back on Sunday afternoon. His expanded role with the Dolphins puts him in the low-end RB2 conversation in fantasy football.
Oct 16, 2022 • 4:08 PM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Officially Questionable Against Vikings
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Minnesota Vikings. Mostert said on Thursday that he would play this weekend after seeing a season-high 18 carries for 113 yards and a touchdown in the Week 5 loss to the New York Jets. Fantasy managers will want to check Mostert's status on Sunday morning, but if he's active as expected, he'll be firmly in play as an RB2 after out-carrying backfield mate Chase Edmonds 33 to six in the last two games.
Oct 14, 2022 • 10:17 PM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Says He'll Play In Week 6
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) said his knee is fine and he will play in Week 6 against the Minnesota Vikings. Mostert was held out of practice on Wednesday but was limited on Thursday, putting him on track to play this weekend. Although the Dolphins haven't come out and said Mostert is their clear lead back, they've utilized him that way each of the last two weeks -- he's out-carried backfield mate Chase Edmonds 33 to six. Although Edmonds is still a threat to vulture valuable goal-line carries, Mostert has become the best fantasy bet in this backfield as an RB2 choice for fantasy managers heading into Week 6 against the Vikes.
Oct 14, 2022 • 12:40 AM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Returns To Practice Thursday
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Perhaps the Dolphins were just resting Mostert after he had a season-high 18 carries for 113 yards and a touchdown on the ground in the Week 5 loss to the New York Jets. While the Dolphins refuse to label him as their lead back heading into Week 6 against the Minnesota Vikings, Mostert has out-carried Chase Edmonds 33 to six in the last two weeks. Edmonds has more touchdowns so far this year, but Mostert has looked much more explosive with the ball in his hands. The Dolphins will continue to involve Edmonds, but Mostert has taken the lead at this point and will be in play as an RB2 against the Vikings.
Oct 13, 2022 • 5:02 PM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Doesn't Practice Wednesday
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) missed Wednesday's practice with a knee injury. Tight end Durham Smythe (hamstring) was also sidelined. Mostert played 69 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 5 loss to the New York Jets, handling a season-high 18 carries for 113 yards and a touchdown while adding one reception for a nine-yard gain. Meanwhile, Chase Edmonds saw just one touch and played a season-low 15 percent of the snaps. It's a bit of a surprise that Mostert is on the injury list, but if he's able to return to practice on Thursday, he should have a good chance of playing and leading Miami's backfield this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. If Mostert is limited or out this weekend, Edmonds and Myles Gaskin would likely split touches in Week 6.
Oct 13, 2022 • 12:00 AM | RotoBallerRaheem Mostert Rushes For 29 Yards Saturday
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) logged two carries for 29 yards during Saturday's preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles. The game was Mostert's first of the preseason, as well as his first since joining the Dolphins. Both of his touches came in the first quarter. He picked up three yards on a rush to the right on the opening drive, then broke off a 26-yard gain on the second drive. Mostert will make the Dolphins' roster and could have some RB3 or FLEX appeal as long as he stays healthy.
