Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Does little in backup role
Jaylen 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 Miami 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.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Invisible in Thursday's loss
Jaylen Wright did not log a single carry or target during Thursday's 30-17 loss to the Packers.Wright had, in recent weeks, appeared to usurp the No. 2 backfield role from Raheem Mostert, but the Miami 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.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Handles No. 2 role in Week 12 win
Jaylen Wright had seven carries for 28 yards during Sunday's 34-15 win over the Patriots. He failed to secure his only target.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 Miami Dolphins' remaining backfield opportunities aren't especially high-value for fantasy purposes. Wright will look to continue building momentum Thursday versus the Packers.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Six touches in Week 11
Jaylen Wright rushed five times for four yards and caught his lone target for two yards in Sunday's 34-19 win over the Raiders.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 Miami 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 he likely would need injuries ahead of him on the running back depth chart to gain more relevance for fantasy. The Dolphins will host the Patriots in Week 12.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Another inefficient showing
Jaylen Wright rushed five times for three yards during Monday's 23-15 win over the Rams.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'Von Achane versus Los Angeles, while veteran Raheem Mostert was held without a rushing attempt but secured two of three targets. Achane remains the Miami Dolphins' clear backfield leader, with Wright and Mostert splitting the leftover duties. Wright will try to do more with his opportunities in Week 11 versus the Raiders.

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.
