2024 Fantasy Outlook
Mostert can't keep this up forever with age 32 arriving in April, but if anything the former Boilermaker and 49er appeared spry in 2023. Mostert's trademark speed seemed fully intact as he blasted his way to 1,012 rushing yards and 21 total TDs (18 rushing) on just 209 carries, though knee and ankle troubles late in the year served as another reminder that he's not built to be a workhorse. It might be easier for Mostert to stay healthy for 17 games if he saw something more like 180 carries instead of 209, and at the very least the Dolphins would ideally get to the playoffs before risking overworking him. The emergence of fellow burner back De'Von Achane gives the Dolphins an obvious way to manage Mostert's workloads, with fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright (also a lighting bolt) providing a backup plan in case Achane struggles with injuries again. Mostert won't be able to match last year's TD total and may also lose more work to Achane this year, but the efficient rushing in a well-designed offense figures to continue, giving the 32-year-old a degree of fantasy value even if he's Miami's 1B rusher instead of 1A.

RANKS
Scores twice in Week 8 loss
Mostert rushed nine times for 19 yards and two touchdowns while catching one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Mostert helped the Dolphins welcome back starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) by capping Miami's opening drive with a one-yard touchdown run. The veteran running back added a six-yard rushing score in the fourth quarter, but he was otherwise outperformed on the ground by De'Von Achane, who had 10 carries for 97 rushing yards and a receiving touchdown. Achane is usually the favorite to lead Miami's backfield in touches and yards, but Mostert's success by the goal line is nothing new, as he produced a league-best 18 rushing touchdowns in 2023. Both Dolphins running backs will be in fantasy starter consideration in Week 9 against a Bills defense that has been better against the pass than the run.

It's unclear whether Mostert will ever hold up to a substantial workload -- he hasn't played a full season since 2019 -- but his skill set is a perfect fit with coach Mike McDaniel's scheme, just as it was under Kyle Shanahan in San Francisco when McDaniel was first the run game coordinator and then offensive coordinator. McDaniel quickly committed to Mostert as Miami's lead back last season, even after the front office signed Chase Edmonds to a bigger contract in free agency. McDaniel discarded Edmonds after three weeks, from which point Mostert ran away with the starting role. Miami's pass-heavy offense didn't work Mostert too heavily -- his season high in carries was just 18, and he got single-digits seven times -- but Mostert's 4.9 YPC partially offset that. The question for this season is the workload split between Mostert, Jeff Wilson and rookie third-round pick Devon Achane. Each offers something a little different, and none projects as a true workhorse, but Mostert's strong 2022 and prior history with McDaniel give reason to consider him the 1A.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could step up with Achane concussed
Mostert could be in line to take over atop Miami's running back depth chart, as De'Von Achane suffered a concussion in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Achane's injury coincided with Mostert's return from a three-game absence due to a chest injury. Mostert finished with 98 scrimmage yards on 21 touches against New England and could be poised for a similar workload in Week 7 against the Colts if Achane is unable to clear concussion protocol during Miami's Week 6 bye.
