Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Return to the Dolphins and Become Zero RB Targets Again

Raheem Mostert returns to the Miami Dolphins on a reported two-year, $5.6 million contract with $2.2 million guaranteed and an additional $2 million available in incentives.

Update: The Dolphins have reportedly also re-signed Jeff Wilson to a two-year contract with a maximum value of $8.2 million. My reaction has Mostert in the foreground but discusses the important context with Wilson throughout.

Due to a mix of elite speed and perfect scheme fit, Mostert made the Zero RB Candidate Countdown in 2022. He responded by setting career highs in both rushing and receiving yards, despite fighting off competition from Chase Edmonds early in the year and Wilson late.

But his fantasy season would have gone out with a whimper if not for an out-of-nowhere eight-target game in Week 17. He caught all eight passes for 62 yards and a TD, giving him his fourth half-PPR game with 16 or more points and placing him in the starting lineup for Pat Kerrane’s Underdog squad that took down Best Ball Mania 3 and won $2 million.

That’s exactly what we’re looking for from a Zero RB option.

After Adding D’Onta Foreman, the Bears Have a Fantasy Backfield That’s Dangerous in More Ways Than One

Shawn Siegele March 17, 2023

The Chicago Bears have signed D’Onta Foreman to a one-year, $3 million contract. He’ll be paired with 2022 breakout Khalil Herbert to form a cheap and explosive backfield. Fresh off of their fleecing of the Carolina Panthers in the trade market, the Bears may have gotten the better of them at RB as well. While Miles Sanders and Chuba Hubbard should form a good lighting-and-lightning…...

Superflex Sleeper? Baker Mayfield Signs With Tampa to the Chagrin of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin

Shawn Siegele March 15, 2023

The Tampa Buccaneers have reportedly signed Baker Mayfield to a one-year $8.5 million contract with $4.5 million guaranteed. He’ll likely compete with Kyle Trask to be the starting quarterback as Tampa sets themselves up for an early pick in 2024. The Cleveland Browns selected Mayfield No. 1 overall in the 2018 draft but eventually soured on him after an injury-plagued 2021 season. They traded him…...

Few backs were mentioned more frequently than Samaje Perine on Stealing Bananas last year. The Bengals backup also became a weekly mention in the Zero RB Watch List, as Joe…...
