Jaylen Wright
RB - Miami Dolphins
This Week Outlook
Availability
Jaylen Wright ran 13 times for 23 yards in the Dolphins 38-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday. He also caught both of his targets for 17 yards.
Fantasy Impact
Wright had a bunch of touches in this game, but failed to make the most of them. He’s the RB2 at best in Miami in 2026, but given his lack of production don’t be shocked if he is fully replaced by next season.
Jaylen Wright made the most of his limited opportunities during Sunday's 20-17 victory over the Buccaneers, rushing five times for 56 yards. The backup running back highlighted his efficient performance with a 32-yard run, which stands as the longest carry of his two-year career.
Fantasy Impact
Wright has delivered significant late-season production behind starter De'Von Achane, having scored a touchdown in two of his previous three contests while eclipsing 100 yards in one of them. He could potentially see an expanded workload in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Patriots if head coach Mike McDaniel chooses to reduce the snaps for his top players.
Jaylen Wright rushed the ball nine times for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-21 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Fantasy Impact
Wright saw limited work on Sunday. He was able to rack up 35 yards and a touchdown on the ground, which helped out the Dolphins in real life but didn't lead to any particularly dominant fantasy total in most leagues. There's no reason to consider starting him over the last couple weeks of the season with De'Von Achane set to remain their bellcow back for the foreseeable future.
Following a career-high workload in Week 14, Jaylen Wright returned to a minimal role during Monday night's loss to Pittsburgh, managing just two touches for 11 total yards. The rookie rushed once for two yards and caught his lone target for a nine-yard gain, seeing scant opportunity despite teammate Ollie Gordon exiting in the second quarter with an ankle injury.
Fantasy Impact
With De'Von Achane healthy and commanding the vast majority of backfield snaps, Wright's path to relevance appears blocked. Even if Gordon is forced to miss time, Achane's three-down skill set leaves little room for Wright to make a fantasy impact over the final stretch of the season.
Jaylen Wright carried the ball 24 times for 107 yards and one touchdown while also failing to catch any of his three targets in the Dolphins' 34-10 win over the Jets in Week 14.
Fantasy Impact
Wright capitalized on De'Von Achane exiting early Sunday, rushing for over 30 yards and reaching the end zone for the first time this season. The running back's value remains tied to the health of No. 1 option Achane moving forward, with a Week 15 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers up next.
