Mostert will turn 33 next month. After defying Father Time in his age 31 season, when he ran for 1,012 yards and totaled 21 touchdowns in 2023, Mostert was an afterthought in Miami’s offense last season. While a chest injury forced Mostert to miss a handful of games early in the season, the veteran running back still appeared in 13 games on the year but averaged only eight touches per game when active. The Raiders need more than an aging back to fix an offense that finished dead last in yards per carry (3.6) last season, but Mostert could prove to be a solid value if there’s anything left in the tank.

Mostert spent the 2022-2024 seasons with the Dolphins. His Miami tenure is highlighted by a highly productive 2023 showing in which he rushed 209 times for 1,012 yards and 18 touchdowns and caught 25-of-29 targets for 175 yards and three touchdowns. The 32-year-old could find work as a speedy, part-time player but it would be unsurprising to see him retire at this point. With Mostert gone, second-year RB Jaylen Wright steps into the No. 2 role behind De’Von Achane.

After leading the league with 18 rushing touchdowns in 2023, Mostert struggled to make much of an impact this season. The veteran running back took a clear backseat to De’Von Achane this season and finished the year with a rushing line of 85-278-2. Mostert will be a free agent this offseason, and turns 33 in April. His days as a lead back are all but over, but whether or not he can catch on with another team in a committee role is to be determined. What will likely be his final season in Miami didn’t do much to help his case, but it’s hard to blame the Dolphins for not wanting to take De’Von Achane off the field. As things stand right now, it’s hard to find any fantasy upside for Mostert heading into next season, but that could change depending on where he lands.

Mostert contributed little from a fantasy perspective though his 24 offensive snaps were only eight fewer than Achane on the day. The slightly tilted game script was a factor. The trusty football player is not fantasy-relevant entering a Week 18 matchup against the Jets. The 8-8 Dolphins remain on the playoff bubble and will likely feature Achance, if possible.
