BALLER MOVE: Bench Mostert until Tua Tagovailoa is back as the Dolphins' quarterback
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3
ANALYSIS: After a monster season where he rushed 209 times for 1,012 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2023, Mostert has been banged up to start 2024. Combine that with Dolphins' QB Tua Tagovailoa still on injured reserve, it's hard to trust many Miami skill players in fantasy until their QB returns.
Mostert rushed 19 times for 80 yards while catching two passes for another 18 in Week 5 versus the Patriots, but that was with fellow teammate De'Von Achane sidelined due to a concussion he suffered the week before.
🎥 Raheem Mostert on establishing the run game: "It's very important, especially after what we did against the Patriots... put our foot down and establish the line of scrimmage, carry the ball and ease everything up for Snoop. I'm excited for this week." (@MiamiDolphins) #GoFins pic.twitter.com/G5YOTBYJ1E

Miami has a potentially juicy matchup against the Indianapolis Colts defense in Week 7, but it's hard to have a lot of faith with Snoop Huntley under center.
Mostert is likely to split most of the carries with Achane and it's fair to question if there's enough to go around to give you good results for fantasy.
Better to take a wait-and-see approach until Tua returns.
