Wright out-carried Raheem Mostert once again, though he has been capped at six carries over his past five games. His increased involvement has largely rendered Mostert a value-less fantasy option. Wright himself isn't seeing quite enough work to have any standalone value of his own. Wright is stuck in the RB5/6 range for Week 12 versus New England.
Achane easily led the backfield in touches, ceding a total of nine looks to Jaylen Wright and Raheem Moster combined. He was his usual, explosive self versus the Raiders, logging a 30-yard carry plus a 17-yard reception en route to just over 100 yards from scrimmage. Week 11 was his fifth game in triple digits out of six Tua Tagovailoa starts. With plenty of distance between himself and the rest of the Miami running backs, Achane is a solidified RB1 heading into Week 12 versus the Patriots.
Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert suffered a hip injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Raiders and is officially questionable to return. His absence leaves Miami's backfield to De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright. We'll update Mostert's status when we know more. Update: Mostert returned in the second quarter.
Mostert barely the saw the field behind De'Von Achane through the first three quarters and then ceded change of pace reps to rookie Jaylen Wright in the fourth, notching just two receptions on three targets for the totality of his counting stats. It was an interesting game plan for the Miami backfield considering Mostert is typically good for near 10 carries per game. Either way, the team sneaks out of Week 10 with a win as they cling to playoff hope as we kick off the back nine of the 2024 NFL season.
De'Von Achane held a commanding stranglehold on the Miami backfield against the Rams, seeing 17 opportunities to the three of Raheem Mostert and five of Wright. The team largely struggled to move the football but escaped with a victory to keep their slim playoff hopes alive as we head down the stretch in the 2024 regular season. Wright is likely to need an injury ahead of him on the depth chart to return viable fantasy stats moving forward.
