Jaylen Wright - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Uninspiring rookie season Wright rushed six times for minus-four yards during Sunday's 32-20 loss to the Jets.

Impact Wright saw his highest touch total since Week 12 during Miami's regular-season finale, but the rookie fourth-round pick did disappointingly little with his opportunities. Across 15 regular-season appearances, Wright rushed 68 times for 249 yards without a single touchdown. He also secured three of six targets for eight yards. The Tennessee product was touted as a big-play threat due to his 4.38 40 speed, but logged only one run of 20-plus yards as a rookie. Even if the Dolphins opt to move on from veterans Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson this offseason, Wright will need to improve heading into Year 2 to secure a notable role behind De'Von Achane.

Uninvolved versus Cleveland Wright did not log a carry or target during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Browns.

Impact Wright wasn't held without an offensive snap versus Cleveland, as he had been Week 16 against San Francisco, but he was uninvolved in Miami's gameplan. The rookie fourth-round pick looks set to close out the regular season as an afterthought behind all of De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson at home against the Jets in Week 18.

Works as No. 4 option Week 16 Wright did not record a carry or target during Sunday's 29-17 win over the 49ers.

Impact Wright appears to have fallen to fourth on Miami's backfield depth chart, as veteran Jeff Wilson worked in behind starter De'Von Achane and backup Raheem Mostert. The rookie fourth-round pick has rushed just three times for 10 yards while securing two of three targets for six yards across his past four appearances. He'll compete for more depth opportunities on the road against Cleveland in Week 17.

Falls back to No. 3 on depth chart Wright rushed once for three yards during Miami's 20-12 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Impact Wright fell down to third on the depth chart behind De'Veon Achane and Raheem Mostert, following the veteran running back's return from injury. Achane and Mostert combined for 18 carries versus Houston, in addition to notable work in the receiving game, while Wright's opportunities were limited to a single carry. The rookie figures to lock down a similar depth role against the 49ers in Week 16.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Does little in backup role Wright rushed twice for seven yards during Sunday's 32-26 overtime win over the Jets. He also secured two of three targets for six yards.

Impact Wright handled the No. 2 backfield role for Miami with Raheem Mostert (hip) inactive Week 14, and he saw a few extra snaps in the red zone during the first quarter with De'Veon Achane briefly being checked for an injury on the sideline. New York's defense effectively contained the Dolphins' running game, as while Achane was successful through the air (six catches for 45 yards), he piled up just 24 yards and one score on 14 carries. Wright, however, wasn't exactly impressive enough to push for increased opportunities, and Mostert may be back in action Week 15 on the road at Houston.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Invisible in Thursday's loss Wright did not log a single carry or target during Thursday's 30-17 loss to the Packers.

Impact Wright had, in recent weeks, appeared to usurp the No. 2 backfield role from Raheem Mostert, but the Dolphins opted to trust the veteran running back over the rookie fourth-round pick during Thursday's cold weather tilt. The No. 2 role could be up for grabs once again heading into a Week 14 home game against the Jets, but even if fantasy managers had clarity on whether Wright or Mostert would hold a monopoly on those reps, De'Von Achane remains the only reliable fantasy option in Miami's backfield.

Handles No. 2 role in Week 12 win Wright had seven carries for 28 yards during Sunday's 34-15 win over the Patriots. He failed to secure his only target.

Impact Wright seems to have secured the No. 2 role in Miami's backfield behind De'Von Achane, who rushed 10 times for 32 yards but scored twice through the air while securing three of four targets for 24 yards. Veteran Raheem Mostert, meanwhile, had just two carries for five yards. Wright has been impressive in limited opportunities, but Achane's extreme efficiency in scoring situations means the Dolphins' remaining backfield opportunities aren't especially high-value for fantasy purposes. Wright will look to continue building momentum Thursday versus the Packers.

Six touches in Week 11 Wright rushed five times for four yards and caught his lone target for two yards in Sunday's 34-19 win over the Raiders.

Impact Wright handled just five carries for the second-straight week, however, his one reception was his first of the season. The rookie running back has continued to disappoint on the ground. Since the Dolphins' Week 6 bye, Wright has recorded just 23 carries for 76 yards. Meanwhile, De'Von Achane has impressed in his starting role as Miami's most efficient back on the ground and in the passing game. Wright's limited opportunities make him very difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, and would need injuries to Achane or Raheem Mostert to gain more relevance for fantasy. The Dolphins will host the Patriots in Week 12.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Another inefficient showing Wright rushed five times for three yards during Monday's 23-15 win over the Rams.

Impact Wright has now totaled just 21 yards on 11 carries (1.9 YPC) in his last two appearances, a disappointing development after he averaged 5.3 YPC in his first six career appearances. He did, however, work as the No. 2 backfield option behind De'Veon Achane versus Los Angeles, while veteran Raheem Mostert was held without a rushing attempt but secured two of three targets while playing on third downs. Achane remains the Dolphins' clear lead option, but Wright and Mostert now appear to have firmly split leftover rushing and receiving duties. Wright will work to impress more with his opportunities Week 11 versus the Raiders.

NOVEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Inefficient in loss to Buffalo Wright rushed six times for 18 yards during Sunday's 30-27 loss at Buffalo.

Impact Wright continues to handle a depth role in the Dolphins' backfield behind De'Von Achane and Raheem Mostert, both of whom were more effective versus the Bills. Achane has emerges as Miami's most dangerous offensive weapon in recent weeks, and he scored twice and surpassed 100 scrimmage yards versus Buffalo. Mostert, meanwhile, has been mostly useful in a No. 2 role, though he did lose a fumble Week 9. Wright will next work to impress in limited opportunities versus the Rams on Monday Night Football.

Only two carries in Week 8 loss Wright rushed twice for 18 yards during Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Wright continues to look explosive in limited opportunities, but it's De'Von Achane (10 carries) and Raheem Mostert (nine carries) who are entrenched as the leaders of Miami's backfield. Without one of Achane or Mostert missing time, or the Dolphins seeing a positive game script the likes of which has evaded the team this season, Wright will remain in a depth role. He'll look to continue showing flashes on the road at Buffalo in Week 9.

Efficient again in limited work Wright rushed five times for 33 yards during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Colts.

Impact Wright worked behind De'Von Achane (15 carries for 77 yards) and Raheem Mostert (11 carries for 50 yards) in the Dolphins' loss to Indianapolis, but his 6.6 YPC mark was the best of the group. The rookie fourth-round pick's explosiveness has been consistently impressive this season, but both Achane and Mostert have also been effective out of the backfield. Wright will need to continue impressing heading into a Week 8 matchup against Arizona if he wants to push for more opportunities in a backfield abundant with talent.

Paces team in rushing Wright rushed 13 times for 86 yards and and did not draw a target in the Dolphins' 15-10 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Impact Wright ended up with the largest workload of his young career after De'Von Achane exited the game in the first half with a concussion. The rookie responded in fine fashion, recording a team-high rushing yardage total while averaging a stellar 6.6 yards per carry. Wright's explosiveness rivals that of Achane, but if the latter has cleared concussion protocol in time for a Week 7 road matchup against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 20, Wright could be back to playing third fiddle behind Achane and Raheem Mostert.

Rushes nine times in MNF loss Wright carried the ball nine times for 32 yards and failed to secure his only target during Monday's 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night.

Impact Wright handled an increased workload due to Raheem Mostert (chest) remaining sidelined and Jeff Wilson (quadriceps) picking up an injury in pre-game warmups Monday, which limited him to two offensive snaps. Still, neither Wright or De'Von Achane (10 carries for 15 yards) were able to get much going in what was another miserable showing for the Dolphins' offense. Miami will have ana opportunity to bounce back against New England on Sunday, but if Mostert and/or Wilson are back in action, Wright will stand to see his workload decline.

OCTOBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sparsely involved in Week 3 loss Wright rushed twice for 17 yards during Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Wright looked solid with his two touches, but the rookie fourth-round pick had his opportunities stymied due to poor overall offensive performance with Skylar Thompson (ribs) and Tim Boyle under center. The Dolphins offense will work to get back on track versus the Titans on Monday Night Football, though if Raheem Mostert (chest) is able to heal up enough to retake the field, he and De'Von Achane will stand to dominate backfield opportunities.
