This is the season where Raheem Mostert finally cements himself as THE GUY in an offense. He followed his coach to the Miami Dolphins and believes in the system he has played extremely well in. This is just another beautiful addition to the Miami Dolphins’ “Legion of Zoom”.

Raheem Mostert is one of the most efficient, and most valuable running backs in the league, when healthy. That is the biggest element to Raheem Mostert and the Miami Dolphins’ success this year, the health of this fast and talented team.

Raheem Mostert was a piece I did not think the Miami Dolphins necessarily needed, but yet again when would they ever refuse it. He has legit game-breaking speed, and again when healthy can take over a game by the way he plays.

Following the Miami Dolphins’ additions along the offensive line, Raheem Mostert is not in a position to have by far the most productive season of his career. With every single one of these linemen possessing the ability to play at the next level in the run game, Mostert will have a wall in front of him.

Not to mention the legit weapons the Miami Dolphins have in the passing game that will force a defense to stay honest and not allow them to stack the box in an attempt to slow down the run game like last season.

Raheem Mostert owns a career average of 5.7 yards per rush and had his best season in 2019 when he ran for 772 yards and 8 touchdowns. However, since then, he has struggled to stay on the field. If he can stay healthy this could be the year where he breaks out.

So, let’s cap it off with my final prediction for the new Miami Dolphins weapons. I believe Raheem Mostert will have 215 carries for 1,157 yards and 9 touchdowns, along with 24 receptions for 215 yards and 1 touchdown. 

I believe this year will be an eye-opener to a lot of teams around the league that the Miami Dolphins are for real. They are going all-in on this team right now, and they are giving Tua Tagovailoa every chance he needs to be successful. Much unlike the former regime.
