Raheem Mostert, one of the biggest late-round breakouts of the 2023 season, stunned fantasy managers by scoring an incredible 18 rushing touchdowns. Adding three more scores in the receiving game, he led the league with a remarkable total of 21 touchdowns, a feat achieved only by a historic Christian McCaffrey campaign. Admittedly benefiting from injuries to teammates De'Von Achane and Jeff Wilson, Mostert firmly established himself as the team's RB1 throughout the regular season, carrying the ball at least 10 times in 13 of his 15 games.
Despite Mostert's impressive performance, most fantasy projections and average draft positions place him significantly behind second-year back Achane heading into the new season. However, there's a strong possibility that the Dolphins' backfield could be more of a 50/50 split than some are anticipating. While Achane was historically efficient on a per-touch basis in 2023, Mostert still managed to average nearly five yards per carry for the second consecutive season with the Dolphins. This level of efficiency is also rare, and Mostert has defied expectations by playing in 31 games over his two years in Miami, overcoming his previous reputation as one of the league's most injury-prone players.
Even with a potential timeshare with Achane, Mostert has a real chance to be a difference-making fantasy back again in 2024. However, there's also the risk that the Dolphins might decide to give the majority of the workload to Achane, reducing Mostert to the role of being one of the highest-upside handcuff running backs. Fantasy managers will need to weigh the risks and rewards when considering Mostert, as he has the potential to be a significant contributor again if circumstances align in his favor.
