MARCH 10, 2023 • MIAMIDOLPHINS.COM

Staying put in Miami The Dolphins signed Ahmed to a one-year, $1.8 million contract Friday, Mike Masala of DolphinsWire reports.

Impact Ahmed is slated to remain in Miami for at least one more season while fellow running backs Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson and Myles Gaskin are all in line to become unrestricted free agents come March 15. The 24-year-old has primarily operated as a part of a backfield committee throughout his first three years in the NFL, and he concluded this previous campaign with 21 touches for 120 combined rushing and receiving yards and one touchdown across 13 games.

Effective through air in finale Ahmed handled five carries for three yards during the Dolphins' 34-31 wild-card playoff loss to the Bills. He also secured three of five targets for 45 yards.

Impact Ahmed saw slightly increased utilization during Miami's playoff loss with Raheem Mostert (thumb) unable to go. Through 12 regular-season appearances in 2022, Ahmed handled a total of 12 carries for 64 yards and one touchdown, while securing his only target for eight yards. The 24-year-old is set to be a restricted free agent this offseason.

Quiet in regular-season finale Ahmed took his only carry for seven yards during Sunday's 11-6 win over the Jets.

Impact Ahmed handled his usual rotational role Week 18, but depending on the status of Raheem Mostert (finger) coming off a fractured thumb, he could be in for increased opportunities during the wild-card playoff matchup against the Bills. The Dolphins will be without Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) in Buffalo, so the team could lean more on the running game than usual.

No carries vs. Packers Ahmed did not handle an offensive snap during Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Packers.

Impact Ahmed wasn't utilized in a complementary offensive role with both Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson healthy and active. He was instead limited to special teams, where he handled 38 percent of snaps. Though competent if called upon, Ahmed doesn't have a clear path to fantasy relevance heading into a Week 17 divisional matchup against the Patriots.

NFL odds Week 15: Wacky wins and bad beats

We got you covered with all the NFL wacky wins to bad beats. Here's a rundown on the action, including wild endings in the Patriots-Raiders...

DECEMBER 19, 2022

Productive in complementary role Ahmed rushed six times for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 32-29 loss to the Bills on Saturday night.

Impact Ahmed saw an elevated role with Jeff Wilson (hip) sidelined, and he ultimately logged one more carry than he had all season combined. Ahmed made good use of the rare opportunity, scoring on an 11-yard run late in the first half to bring the Dolphins to within a point. Despite the encouraging results Saturday, it's difficult to envision Ahmed getting more than just a handful of snaps if Wilson is back for the Week 16 Christmas Day home clash against the Packers, although his performance could ensure he and not Myles Gaskin garners active status for that contest as the No. 3 running back.

Back in full Wednesday Ahmed (back) was listed as a full participant on the Dolphins' injury report Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Ahmed was ruled inactive for Miami's Week 5 loss to the Jets after being limited with a back injury in practice Thursday and Friday. However, the 23-year-old running back appears to be healthy given his ability to return in full for the first practice of Week 6. Ahmed has been exclusively used on special teams over two games played this season, though he could see his first offensive snaps if running back Raheem Mostert (knee) is sidelined for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Unable to play Sunday Ahmed (back) is inactive for Sunday's contest with the Jets.

Impact Ahmed logged limited practices Thursday and Friday with the injury, but he's still not ready to compete. In his absence, Myles Gaskin will operate as the team's No. 3 running back. Ahmed will work to return in Week 6 against the Vikings.

OCTOBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable with back injury Ahmed (back) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ahmed landed on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to a back injury and remained limited Friday. The reserve running back has been active for only two games this season and played exclusively on special teams during those contests, so his potential absence shouldn't be concerning for Miami's offense.

OCTOBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Active for Week 2 Ahmed (heel) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Impact With Myles Gaskin inactive Sunday, Ahmed is in uniform; however, he figures to work behind Chase Edmonds and Raheem Mostert, a context that gives Ahmed limited Week 2 fantasy upside.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable for Sunday Ahmed (heel) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Ahmed didn't practice Wednesday but was limited Thursday and Friday. Even if Ahmed is available, it's unlikely he'll garner a major offensive role behind Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert and Myles Gaskin.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Ahmed (heel) was able to log a limited practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Ahmed was unable to practice Wednesday and was inactive for Week 1 against the Patriots. Even if Ahmed is healthy enough to suit up Sunday against the Ravens, it's possible he'd be a healthy inactive, as he's behind Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert and Myles Gaskin on the team's running back depth chart.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined with heel injury Ahmed (heel) didn't practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Ahmed popped up on the injury report Wednesday and was limited at practice throughout the week before ultimately being inactive for the season opener. Given his practice designation, he doesn't appear to be trending in the right direction, so it's likely he'll be sidelined for a second straight game. Regardless, as long as Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert and Myles Gaskin are healthy, Ahmed doesn't have a clear path to playing time, so his potential absence shouldn't be too concerning.
