2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ahmed's ability to hang around on the Miami roster the last four years is really quite remarkable given his lack of recognizable upside. He does have the speed coach Mike McDaniel covets, but he doesn't have the vision, elusiveness or instincts to put it to good use out of the backfield. Ahmed has turned himself into an adequate passing-down option, but 2024 fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright would seem to offer everything Ahmed does and more, and Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane are still atop the depth chart. Ahmed's time as a Dolphin could be running out. Read Past Outlooks
Sticking with Indianapolis
The Colts signed Ahmed to a reserve/future contract Monday.
ANALYSIS
Ahmed didn't suit up for regular-season action with Indianapolis in 2024, but he spent time on the team's practice squad after being cut by Denver in October. The veteran running back will spend the offseason competing to secure a depth spot in a backfield led by Jonathan Taylor.

Back on another one-year deal, Ahmed returns for his a fourth consecutive season as a depth option for the Dolphins. Having spent his entire career in Miami, Ahmed is obviously familiar with the team's system and in good standing with the coaching staff, but on the flip side his upside with the team is already well-established. Across 12 appearances last season, Ahmed was held to less than 100 yards from scrimmage for the first time in his career, and third-round rookie Devon Achane now crowds the backfield further.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Roster spot seems secure
Ahmed is in a strong position to make Miami's roster as the fourth running back, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald speculates.
ANALYSIS
Jackson specifically points to Ahmed's speed and skills as a route runner and pass catcher as the primary reasons he'll make the roster. Helping his cause further is the fact that he is set to make only $895,000 -- in contrast to Sony Michel and Myles Gaskin, who are set to make $2.1 and $2.5 million, respectively. Ahmed isn't expected to open the season with a significant role, but both Chase Edmonds and Raheem Mostert have fairly extensive injury histories, so he could see a bigger workload later in the year.
