BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 11% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: After veteran running back Jeff Wilson Jr. suffered a knee injury in pregame warmups ahead of the Monday Night Football matchup with the Tennessee Titans, fourth-round rookie Jaylen Wright rushed nine times for 32 yards and saw one target in the passing game. Wright averaged just 3.6 yards per carry in the loss, but star ball carrier De'Von Achane was held to just 1.5 yards per clip.
Ultimately, the Miami offense is a mess in the absence of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, and Wright isn't guaranteed a significant role when Raheem Mostert (chest) returns to action, but Wright should continue to be stashed for potential late-season production.
Achane spent time on the Injured Reserve list last season and has been banged up multiple times this year, and the 32-year-old Mostert has a lengthy injury history that cannot be ignored.

There's a scenario where Wright could see a few spot starts down the stretch, and that could yield at least RB2 numbers when Tagovailoa is back at the helm. If you're in trouble at RB and need lotto ticket stashes, Wright could be your guy.
