• Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Uninspiring rookie season

  01/08/2025 • By RotoWire

  Wright rushed six times for minus-four yards during Sunday's 32-20 loss to the Jets. Wright saw his highest touch total since Week 12 during Miami's season finale, but the rookie fourth-round pick did little with his opportunities. Across 15 appearances in 2024, Wright rushed 68 times for 249 yards without a single touchdown and secured three of six targets for eight yards. The Tennessee product was touted as a big-play threat after he submitted a 4.38-second 40-yard dash time at the NFL Scouting Combine, but he 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.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Uninvolved versus Cleveland

  12/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  Wright did not log a carry or target during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Browns. Wright didn't go without an offensive snap versus Cleveland as he had in 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.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Works as No. 4 option Week 16

  12/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Wright did not record a carry or target during Sunday's 29-17 win over the 49ers. 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.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Falls back to No. 3 on depth chart

  12/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Wright rushed once for three yards during Miami's 20-12 loss to the Texans on Sunday. Wright fell down to third on the depth chart behind De'Von 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.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Does little in backup role

  12/08/2024 • By RotoWire

  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. 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'Von 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.
