BALLER MOVE: Keep Wright on your watchlist, but don't roster him yet
ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Miami Dolphins offense was rescued in Week 8 with the return of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Despite the 28-27 loss, the Dolphins were back to their usual high-scoring ways. In the four games without Tua under center, Miami had managed just 3, 12, 15, and 10 points. Ouch.
While having their quarterback return brings some much-needed life to the Dolphins offense for fantasy, it hasn't meant much for running back Jaylen Wright, who was greatly out snapped by De'Von Achane and Raheem Mostert on Sunday. Achane saw 58.5% of the snaps, Mostert 46.2%. and Wright just 4.6%.
So Jaylen Wright had 2 carries for 18 yards.
9.0 per rush
Hey - let’s use him more.

Wright is sitting third on the Dolphins' RB depth chart, and there’s a vibe here that Wright’s snaps could see an uptick as the season rolls on, especially since he's been making the most of every chance he gets. Keep a close eye on him, because if Miami starts upping his workload, Wright could morph from a bench warmer to a sneaky playmaker in your fantasy roster.
