Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Sits out Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Mostert (ankle) didn't participate in Las Vegas' practice Wednesday.
Mostert popped up on the injury report Wednesday after carrying the ball once for six yards and catching one pass for three yards during the Week 16 loss to the Texans. The 33-year-old's practice status throughout the rest of the week will provide more clarity toward his availability for Sunday's matchup versus the Giants. Dylan Laube would see increased playing time at both running back and kick returner if Mostert ends up being unable to play.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Four offensive snaps in loss
Rotowire
Mostert rushed once for six yards and caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Texans. He also returned two kickoffs for 53 yards.
Mostert's only carry of the contest didn't come until the start of the fourth quarter, and workhorse running back Ashton Jeanty hogged the offensive spotlight with 25 total touches for 188 yards and two scores. A similarly one-sided backfield split can be expected against the Giants in Week 17.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: One touch in blowout loss
Rotowire
Mostert caught his lone target for two yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Eagles.
Mostert failed to record a single rushing attempt for the second straight week and the fourth time in 11 appearances. The veteran running back played just 10 of the Raiders' 42 offensive snaps, behind starter Ashton Jeanty (30) and ahead of Dylan Laube (2). As long as Jeanty is healthy, Mostert will retain little to no fantasy value with such limited usage. The Raiders are set to visit the Texans in Week 16.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Limited but good to go
Rotowire
Mostert (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice but holds no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Mostert appeared on Thursday's injury report with a knee injury and was able to upgrade to a limited participant in Friday's practice. The limited participation the running back engaged in seems to have been deemed thorough enough that he will play in Sunday's game. Mostert has 21 rush attempts for 98 yards through 10 games this season and will likely account for his normal relief volume behind Ashton Jeanty in Sunday's contest.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Makes one catch in loss
Rotowire
Mostert caught his lone target for two yards and he returned two kickoffs for 55 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos.
Mostert's only offensive touch of the contest came on the Raiders' final drive with less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, when he caught a short pass from backup quarterback Kenny Pickett before running out of bounds. Mostert hasn't handled more than two carries in a single game since Week 6, but he's up to 10 total receptions on as many targets for 65 yards this season.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Plays two offensive snaps Sunday
Rotowire
Mostert rushed once for six yards and he returned one kickoff for 29 yards in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Chargers.
Mostert's lone carry didn't come until the Raiders' final drive of the contest, and the 33-year-old veteran logged just two offensive snaps while rookie Ashton Jeanty handled 21 total touches out of the backfield. Expect a similarly lopsided split of the workload against the Broncos in Week 14.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Week 13 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Ashton Jeanty (ankle) was injured in the fourth quarter of Week 12 against Cleveland, but coach Pete Carroll said Jeanty should "be OK" for Week 13 at the Chargers. That said, you should plan to add Mostert for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB just in case Jeanty is out. Mostert hasn't done much this season playing behind Jeanty, with 8.3 PPR points in Week 4 against Chicago his best output of the year, but Mostert would be a flex option in all leagues if he started for the Raiders in place of Jeanty.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Three receptions in loss
Rotowire
Mostert gained two yards on one carry and caught all three of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns. He also returned two kickoffs for 55 yards.
Mostert's outing was highlighted by an 18-yard reception on the Raiders' final drive of the contest, as he handled backfield duties after rookie Ashton Jeanty exited with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter. Coach Pete Carroll indicated Jeanty's injury isn't believed to be severe, but if it impacts his availability for the team's Week 13 matchup against the Chargers, Mostert could be in line for increased volume.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Four offensive touches on MNF
Rotowire
Mostert rushed twice for six yards and caught two passes on as many targets for seven yards in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys. He also returned two kickoffs for 42 yards.
Mostert handled four offensive touches despite playing only 15 snaps behind rookie Ashton Jeanty, who was stuffed for just seven yards on six carries to go along with six receptions for 27 yards on eight targets. It could be similarly tough sledding for this Raiders offense against a stout Browns defense in Week 12.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Makes 11-yard reception in loss
Rotowire
Mostert rushed once for four yards and caught his lone target for 11 yards in Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Broncos.
Mostert has been the target of two or less offensive touches in three consecutive games, while rookie Ashton Jeanty took 19 carries for 60 yards and a score to go along with three receptions Thursday. Jeanty figures to retain the workhorse role ahead of a Week 11 matchup against the Cowboys, as Mostert remains the distant RB2 in this Raiders offense.
Mostert caught his lone target for 14 yards and returned five kickoffs for 202 yards in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.
Mostert has racked up 302 total kickoff return yards throughout the Raiders' past two games, but rookie Ashton Jeanty continues to dominate touches out of the backfield, while also proving capable as a pass catcher. Mostert's offensive involvement figures to remain limited in Denver on Thursday.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Notches 100 return yards in loss
Rotowire
Mostert caught his lone target for two yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs. He also returned three kickoffs for 100 yards.
Mostert's 100 return yards marked a season high, but he failed to record a single carry after collectively rushing 16 times from Week 4 to Week 6 behind rookie Ashton Jeanty. The Raiders' offense will look to get back on track against the Jaguars in Week 9 following the upcoming bye.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Rushes five times in win
Rotowire
Mostert lost four yards on five carries in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Titans.
Mostert played 13 offensive snaps behind rookie Ashton Jeanty, who handled a bulk of the workload out of the Raiders' backfield with 25 touches for 86 total yards and a score. Expect a similarly one-sided split during a tough Week 7 matchup in Kansas City.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Handles seven carries in loss
Rotowire
Mostert rushed seven times for 22 yards in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the Colts.
Mostert played 47 percent of the Raiders offensive snaps Sunday, a major increase in playing time compared to his 15 percent snap share in Week 4 when he made his season debut. Through two games, the veteran running back has recorded just 11 carries for 84 yards, adding one catch for 11 yards. With Ashton Jeanty handling the bulk of the backfield duties for the Raiders, Mostert remains nothing more than an insurance policy behind the rookie. Next up for the Raiders is a home matchup against the Titans' vulnerable run defense in Week 6.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Healthy scratch again
Rotowire
Mostert (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Chargers.
The veteran running back will be in street clothes for a second-straight week. It seems that Mostert is unlikely to suit up on game day unless Ashton Jeanty, Zamir White or Dylan Laube were to miss time due to injury, illness or suspension. Mostert's next chance to play is Week 3 against the Commanders on Sunday, Sept. 21.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Not playing Week 1
Rotowire
Mostert (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against New England.
Mostert's inactive status comes as a surprise, as he's not known to be dealing with an injury and was listed as the Raiders' RB2 or RB3 on the team's initial Week 1 depth chart, per Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. With Mostert out of action, Las Vegas will go with Zamir White and Dylan Laube as the active running backs behind rookie starter Ashton Jeanty.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Active in passing game Saturday
Rotowire
Mostert gained nine yards on three carries in a preseason loss to the 49ers on Saturday. He added three receptions on four targets for 16 yards.
Mostert logged fewer carries and yards than both Ashton Jeanty (7-33-1) and Chris Collier (4-26-0), but he led all Raiders running backs in targets, catches and receiving yards. He's never been a prolific receiver out of the backfield, but he may need to do more of that work this season to be at all productive with Jeanty likely to be a workhorse back for the Raiders. As it stands, Mostert is not guaranteed to be the team's No. 2 RB -- Zamir White and Sincere McCormick are also vying for that role.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Falls behind Jeanty
Rotowire
Mostert will be joined by No. 6 overall pick Ashton Jeanty in a new-look Raiders backfield.
The Raiders never figured to settle for the 33-year-old Mostert as their lead back, unchallenged, but there was at least some chance he'd compete to be 1A in a committee. He instead figures to be purely a backup, behind one of the best RB prospects in recent memory. The good news for Mostert is weak competition for backup roles, with the Raiders otherwise rostering Zamir White (quadriceps), Sincere McCormick (ankle), Dylan Laube and Chris Collier.

Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Links up with Las Vegas
Rotowire
Mostert is signing a one-year contract with the Raiders, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
The soon-to-be 33-year-old will join a new-look Vegas offense with Geno Smith at quarterback and Chip Kelly calling plays. It's about the best landing spot possible in terms of opportunity to earn snaps and touches, as the Raiders had arguably the worst backfield in the league last year and haven't signed any other free agents so far this offseason. Of course, more help likely is on the way, be it in the coming weeks via free agency or at the end of April during the NFL Draft. Mostert and Kelly briefly worked together in Philadelphia (2015) and San Francisco (2016), but at a point in Mostert's career when he was struggling to stick around the league and mostly playing special teams.

Raheem Mostert: Officially released by Miami
Rotowire
The Dolphins released Mostert on Friday.
This was the expected move after Mostert's agent, Brett Tessler, announced it was going to happen earlier in the day Friday. Mostert turns 33 years old in April and is coming off a down 2024 season, rushing 85 times for 278 yards and two touchdowns across 13 games, just one year after leading the NFL with 18 rushing scores. The move clears over $2.97 million in cap space for the Dolphins. De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright currently sit atop the depth chart in the backfield for Miami, and Mostert will look for another team as a free agent.
