5 hypothetical deals the Dolphins could make

It’s clear that De’Von Achane has overtaken Mostert to become the Dolphins’ lead back. Behind this duo, rookie Jaylen Wright has excelled in limited action. The fourth-round pick averaged 5.3 yards on his 36 carries, while Mostert only managed 3.5 yards on 45 carries. Meanwhile, Jeff Wilson Jr. hasn’t seen the field since September.

If a team is interested in bringing back a veteran, a Mostert trade could give the Dolphins some more draft capital, some salary cap space, and give Wright the opportunity to become more involved on offense.

There will be a reunion with the 49ers been proposedChristian McCaffrey’s impending return coupled with the success of Jordan Mason and Isaac Guerendo doesn’t make them emerge as a team in need of a stopgap for the 32-year-old.

The Broncos could use the boost, though.

Denver is 5-3, largely due to its dominant defense despite its 25th-ranked offense. With rookie Bo Nix at the helm, the Broncos could use a strong running game, but the duo of Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin are pretty disappointing. They have a combined average of 3.9 yards per carry and their PFF grades Ranks 41st and 48th among 63 backs with at least 30 carries this season.

Mostert could provide a boost to an offense that has been in the lackluster AFC in the postseason and provide some much-needed help to the Broncos’ rookie quarterback.
