Jaylen Wright Week 4 Outlook - Dolphins at Vikings

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Oct 3rd 2026, 3:35am EDT

Jaylen Wright missed last week's game with a foot injury. He opened this week with a limited practice on Wednesday. He had full practices on Thursday and Friday. He doesn't carry an injury designation into this week's game. I think Wright will play a prominent role in the Miami backfield this week. In Week 1, when both he and Ollie Gordon were healthy, Wright had four offensive snaps and a rushing attempt. Wright has been the RB2 on the depth chart entering the season and the more productive player than Gordon since 2025. He is currently listed as the RB1 on the depth chart over Gordon. Since 2025, among 60 qualifying backs, Wright has ranked 16th in rushing success rate, 18th in yards after contact per attempt, and ninth-best in missed tackle rate. Minnesota isn't a great matchup for Wright this week, though. The Vikings have held backs to the second-lowest rushing success rate, the seventh-fewest yards after contact per attempt, and the 13th-lowest missed tackle rate. Wright is only a deep league desperation flex this week.
