Raheem Mostert 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook: Veteran Back A High-Reward RB3/Flex Heading Into 2024
6 months agoMiami Dolphins veteran running back Raheem Mostert will enter his 13th NFL season in 2024, and the 32-year-old will be coming off his best season yet. Mostert had a productive 2023 season, continuing to be a vital component of the Dolphins' high-octane offense. Despite sharing the backfield, Mostert finished the season with 1,012 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns, adding 25 receptions for 175 yards and three receiving scores. He finished first in the NFL in rushing touchdowns among running backs and was a top fantasy option each week in 2023. In 2024, Mostert should be viewed as a high-risk, high-reward RB3/Flex option with the potential for explosive weeks. His big-play ability and involvement in a potent Miami offense make him an intriguing pick. Still, his injury history and competition for touches with promising back De'Von Achane introduce significant risk. The Dolphins also added Tennessee running back Jaylen Wright in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Mostert should be targeted in the middle to late rounds of fantasy drafts, typically in the ninth to eleventh round range. The veteran is ranked 75th in RotoBaller's player rankings heading into 2024, a little above his NFFC ADP of 87. Mostert becomes a touchdown-dependent player who will have a poor fantasy outing if he doesn't record a score. Managers should approach him as a boom-or-bust option and should view him as a flexible option who can provide explosive weeks.
