Fantasy Impact: Toney has been visiting with multiple teams over the past couple of weeks, but he will ultimately decide to sign with the Browns for the 2024 season. He will start on the practice squad, but as he continues to get eased in, he may land on the active roster. Cleveland's passing attack is already struggling to support the top guys on their depth chart, so it's unlikely that the 25-year old finds much fantasy success with them.

Raheem Mostert (chest) was listed as a non-participant on Miami's estimated injury report on Monday. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Miami didn't actually practice on Monday, but they released an estimated injury report that included Mostert. He is dealing with a chest injury of some kind, and it remains to be seen how severe it is. The Dolphins have just a few days before they play the Bills on Thursday night, and with De'Von Achane (ankle) also on the injury report, Miami may be looking to Jeff Wilson Jr. and rookie Jaylen Wright to see the bulk of the work out of the backfield.
