Jaylen Wright

Wright got decent draft capital (fourth-round) in the NFL Draft, but he landed in a nightmare situation. Raheem Mostert is coming off arguably the best season of his career, and De'Von Achane is one of the league's most explosive rushers. Wright looks to be on the outside looking in for rushing volume right now, but it only takes one injury to change that. Mostert and Achane haven't exactly been pictures of health in the NFL. Wright is the perfect late-round high-upside draft pick to covet this year. The talented rookie, who ranked fifth in yards after contact per attempt and 13th in elusive rating (per PFF), is only one domino's fall away from consistent RB2/3 production this year.

The Miami Dolphins have selected RB Jaylen Wright with the 120th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Jaylen Wright joins the already speedy backfield of De'Von Achane and Raheem Mostert. This provides yet another option in the committee that will be Miami's backfield. Since Mostert is entering his age 32 season and Achane was placed on IR for a portion of last season, this pickup provides extra insurance for the speed Coach Mike McDaniel craves.
