Jaylen Wright
2025 Season Outlooks
Opportunity knocks for Wright as he enters his second season. He is a backup to De'Von Achane but could be a great handcuff with a late-round pick. Achane has had some injury issues in his career, and another Achane injury could give Wright a huge opportunity. The Dolphins also have a history of using multiple running backs under Mike McDaniel, which makes it possible Wright could be a flex option even if Achane stays healthy. The Dolphins added Alexander Mattison and drafted Ollie Gordon, but we would love to see Wright stay ahead of the pack as the top backup running back. If he does so, he should be drafted in most leagues of 12 or more teams.
Wright is entering his second pro season after totaling 71 touches in 15 games as a rookie. The 2024 fourth-round pick spent most of his first year as a clear depth option behind De'Von Achane and Raheem Mostert, often time splitting No. 3 duties with Jeff Wilson Jr. He failed to find the end zone or reach 9.0 fantasy points in a single game. Achane is back as the clear lead back in 2025, but with Mostert and Wilson gone, Wright will compete with rookie Ollie Gordon for primary backup duties. That's enough to provide the 22-year-old with some late-round insurance appeal, though he'll miss time to open the season due to injury.
