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
Gets injury waiver
Miami released Ahmed (undisclosed) with an injury waiver Monday.
ANALYSIS
The detail of the injury waiver is significant, as it means Ahmed is technically eligible to return at some point during the 2024 season if he can work through his health issues. For now, his departure could open up practice reps for the just-signed Anthony McFarland.

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.
