Jaylen Wright's rookie season was quiet as he was stuck behind both De'Von Achane and Raheem Mostert. The Dolphins moved on from Mostert this offseason, which presumably elevates Wright to the primary backup role as he competes with just journeyman Alexander Mattison and rookie Ollie Gordon II.
Miami's offseason moves suggest confidence in Wright, but his poor rushing metrics and pass-protection struggles limit his standalone value as long as Achane is healthy. Achane's durability was a concern following his rookie season, but he played all 17 games in 2024.
As things stand right now, Wright is a high-end handcuff, valuable in best-ball or deep leagues if Achane misses time, but don't expect consistent touches without injuries ahead of him on the depth chart.

 De'Von Achane nursing rib injury
Left early in Week 14
By: Doug Orth | Mon Dec 8, 6:40 pm
|  | McDaniel said just now that only treatment is needed for Achane. He's highly motivated to play Monday, McDaniel said. Achane told McDaniel he was uncomfortable Sunday but feeling better today. Achane told McDaniel he could have gone back in game vs Jets if needed. He had MRI. (Miami Herald - Barry Jackson)
FFToday's Take: Of course, the Dolphins play on Monday night to wrap up Week 15, so fantasy managers need to have a backup plan. Jaylen Wright took over the backfield following Achane's exit in Week 14, rushing for 107 yards and a score against the Jets. It sounds like Achane will be able to give it a go, but it would not be the worst idea for any running back-needy fantasy team to pick up Wright just in case.
