Dolphins rule out RB Raheem Mostert for Thursday night game against Bills; De'Von Achane's status uncertain

The Miami Dolphins have a short week in Week 2 and will face one of their toughest opponents: the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have an 11-1 record in their last 12 meetings against the Dolphins. The last meeting came in Week 18 and decided the division. To make matters worse, Miami is dealing with multiple injuries at running back.

On Wednesday, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel ruled out running back Raheem Mostert for Thursday night's game after he missed the first two practices with a chest injury. Fellow running back De'Von Achane has also missed two practices with an ankle injury, and McDaniel said he is one of the players “we'll be evaluating” whether he's available for Week 2, according to CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones.

Mostert managed just 19 yards on eight touches in the 20-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1, while Achane had 10 carries for 24 yards and a touchdown. The second-year running back was more effective as a receiver, catching seven passes for 76 yards.

Whether Achane plays or not, expect plenty of touches to come from Jeff Wilson Jr., who was actually Miami's best runner last Sunday with 26 yards on five carries. Another player to keep an eye on and perhaps include in fantasy football is speedy rookie Jaylen Wright.
