Mostert left Week 11 with a hip injury in the first quarter and was listed as questionable to return. He got back in the field in the second quarter but only ran the ball three times in total. Even though his health doesn't appear to be an issue, Mostert does not have a fantasy-relevant role at the moment. He lost two yards on his three carries last week and did not log a rush attempt two weeks ago.
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.
Mostert rushed for zero yards last week because he didn't see a single rush attempt. That somehow would be an improvement over what he did today. Head coach Mike McDaniel said his lack of involvement last week was unique to the Week 10 game plan. A minor injury could be to blame for his low touch total this time around. Mostert exited during the Dolphins' opening drive of the game with a hip injury and was listed as questionable to return. He did so in the second quarter. No matter the excuse, fantasy managers can call it quits on the veteran back for now. He is buried in the RB5 ranks for Week 12.
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.
"The particular usage this past game was unique to the game plan and that's kind of the case when you have one football and multiple talented running backs that all contribute in various ways. ... He's still the leader of that room and we'll be counting on him all season for us to get where we wanna go," McDaniel said in full. Mostert should still be considered the No. 2 back going forward for the Dolphins. It's just that the team's offense has not been good enough to make that a particularly fantasy-appealing role right now.
