Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Inefficient in loss to Buffalo
Jaylen Wright rushed six times for 18 yards during Sunday's 30-27 loss at Buffalo.Wright continues to handle a depth role in the Miami Dolphins backfield behind De'Von Achane and Raheem Mostert, both of whom were more effective versus the Bills. Achane has emerged as Miami's most dangerous offensive weapon in recent weeks, and he scored twice and surpassed 100 yards from scrimmage Sunday. 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.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Only two carries in Week 8 loss
Jaylen Wright carried the ball twice for 18 yards during Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.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 Miami Dolphins seeing a positive game script the likes of which has evaded the team this season, Wright's usage will remain limited.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Efficient again in limited work
Jaylen Wright rushed five times for 33 yards during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Colts.Wright worked behind De'Von Achane (15 carries for 77 yards) and Raheem Mostert (11 carries for 50 yards) in the Miami 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.

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

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Rushes nine times in MNF loss
Jaylen Wright carried the ball nine times for 32 yards and failed to secure his only target during Miami's 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night.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 Miami Dolphins' offense. Miami will have an 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.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Little usage in Week 3 loss
Jaylen Wright rushed twice for 17 yards during Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks.Wright was productive with his two touches, but the rookie fourth-round pick had his opportunities stymied due to a poor overall offensive performance with Skylar Thompson (ribs) and Tim Boyle under center instead of Tua Tagovailoa (concussion). The Miami Dolphins offense will work to get back on track versus the Titans on Monday Night Football in Week 4, though if Raheem Mostert (chest) is able to retake the field, he and De'Von Achane would dominate backfield opportunities.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Gets just five carries in NFL debut
Jaylen Wright carried five times for four yards in the Miami Dolphins' 31-10 loss to the Bills in Week 2.Wright played 18 of the Dolphins' 76 snaps on offense in the loss, but 10 of those snaps came in the fourth quarter, when the Bills already had the game well in hand. Though the absence of Raheem Mostert (chest) opened up an opportunity for Wright to suit up Thursday after he had been inactive for the Week 1 win over the Jaguars, the rookie fourth-round pick wasn't able to capture meaningful playing time while the Dolphins leaned heavily on De'Von Achane as their lead back and also sprinkled in Jeff Wilson (11 snaps). Mostert and Wilson (oblique) both opened the week as a limited participants in practice Wednesday, and it may take an absence from either of the two backs in order for Wright to suit up Sunday in Seattle.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Active versus Bills
Jaylen Wright is active for Thursday night's game against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.Wright was a healthy scratch Week 1, but he'll enter Miami's backfield mix Thursday with Raheem Mostert (chest) inactive. Meanwhile, De'Von Achane (ankle), who had been listed as questionable, is active and figures to see his share of touches in the absence of any setbacks, with Jeff Wilson also a candidate to see increased work versus Buffalo. With that in mind, it remains to be seen how many touches Wright will handle in his NFL regular-season debut, but the speedy fourth-round rookie does possess intriguing playmaking upside in Miami's offense.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Likely to make NFL debut Thursday
Jaylen Wright, who was a healthy inactive Week 1, seems likely to suit up for Thursday's matchup with the Bills due to Raheem Mostert (chest) being ruled out and De'Von Achane (ankle) being a game-time decision, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.Wright, a rookie fourth-round pick, boasts explosiveness but not experience over 28-year-old veteran Jeff Wilson, but both players will stand to see expanded opportunities Thursday with Mostert ruled out. Depending on Achane's status for Week 2, it could even fall to Wright and Wilson to handle the entirety of Miami's backfield workload, in which case the team might have no choice other than to ride the hot hand. Wright impressed in the preseason and boasts 4.38-second 40-yard dash speed, making him a big-play candidate even on limited touches.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Won't suit up Week 1
Jaylen Wright (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.Though the Miami Dolphins invested a fourth-round pick into him during April's draft and he impressed out of the backfield in Miami's preseason finale, Wright will have to wait at least another week to make his NFL debut. With starter Raheem Mostert and change-of-pace dynamo De'Von Achane both entering the season healthy, the Dolphins won't have much of a role on offense available for Wright. The Tennessee product also didn't lock down a special-teams role coming out of the preseason, so Jeff Wilson will dress ahead of Wright as the Dolphins' No. 3 back.
