Jaylen Wright enters his third season with an underwhelming stat sheet, averaging under 4.0 yards per carry on just 138 total rushing attempts across his first two years. While that lack of efficiency is concerning, a clear path to volume can supersede those worries in an instant.
Looking at the depth chart behind an injury-prone starter De'Von Achane, Wright is locked in a training camp battle with Ollie Gordon II for the primary backup role. While Gordon offers a 225-pound goal line frame, Wright possesses the raw speed needed to execute the Miami outside zone scheme without forcing major adjustments. Should Achane miss time again, Wright is built to be a much more plug-and-play type of replacement both in the run concepts and screen plays that are expected to drive this offense.
Wright is completely unusable as a standalone option while Achane is healthy, but his contingent ceiling makes him a serious late round target. Prioritize drafting him as a high value insurance policy if you invested your first-round pick on Achane, or simply target him as a bench stash in deep leagues if you're looking for late-season upside.

 De'Von Achane out for the season, torn ACL
Achane signed with Miami through 2030

|  | Dolphins RB De'Von Achane suffered a torn ACL during Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs and will be out for the season, sources tell @rapsheet and me. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: The Dolphins came into Week 3 with RB Jaylen Wright (stinger, foot) on the Inactive list and quickly lost Achane in the first quarter, leaving Ollie Gordon II to handle the bulk of running back work against the Chiefs. Wright could return in Week 4 which would likely lead to a split backfield.
| Dolphins ship WR Tutu Atwell back to the Rams
RB Jarquez Hunter now in Miami

| | Trade: Dolphins traded WR Tutu Atwell back to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for RB Jarquez Hunter, sources tell ESPN. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: The Dolphins have a host of rookie receives, Malik Washington and Jalen Tobert which have pushed Atwell down the depth chart to the point he was likely to be cut on Sunday. The Dolphins found a trade partner in the Rams who are lacking depth at the receiver position. Neither Atwell nor Hunter are likely to have any fantasy impact on their new teams. The Dolphins currently have Jaylen Wright, Ollie Gordon II and Carlos Washington Jr. on the running back depth chart.
