Dolphins Optimistic About Raheem Mostert For Wild-Card Game

11 months ago

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel reiterated on Monday that he's optimistic about the status of running back Raheem Mostert's (ankle, knee) in the wild-card contest this Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 31-year-old led the league with 21 total touchdowns during the regular season but has missed the last two games due to both ankle and knee ailments. With Mostert out the last two weeks, rookie De'Von Achane has handled most of the backfield snaps and touches alongside Jeff Wilson Jr. Mostert was a touchdown machine and a every-week starter in fantasy lineups during the regular season, but he'll have bust potential in the first week of the playoffs if he's active on Saturday. He'll be touchdown-dependent and could lose valuable snaps to Achane, who looked close to his pre-injury self in Week 18.
