ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins Jaylen Wright was a popular stash candidate heading into the 2024 season. Many thought he could break out after Raheem Mostert got hurt in Week 1. Unfortunately, the rookie running back has had limited fantasy production, averaging only 3.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game.
However, Wright had the best game of his career before the Dolphins Week 6 bye. The former Tennessee star had 13 rushing attempts for 86 yards and 8.6 fantasy points against the New England Patriots, averaging 6.6 yards per rushing attempt. He earned an 87.9 grade from PFF in Week 5.

Wright saw an uptick in work because De'Von Achane suffered a concussion early in the win over the Patriots. Unfortunately, his role on offense will likely be limited, with Mostert and Achane healthy moving forward.
Fantasy players in deeper leagues can add him off the waiver wire as a speculative move. However, Wright probably won’t have consistent fantasy value until next season.
