2024 Outlook
Depth Chart
The Dolphins recently added rookie running back Jaylen Wright to their already stacked backfield, a move that could pay dividends given his talent profile and how it fits within the McDaniel/Shanahan offensive system. Known for favoring speedy and explosive backs, McDaniel clearly targeted Wright in the draft, who averaged over six yards per carry throughout his collegiate career in the SEC, culminating in an impressive 7.4 yards per carry in his final season. Wright's knack for big plays is evident, as an impressive 14 percent of his rush attempts last season went for over 15 yards, aligning him well with the Dolphins' existing backfield threats, De'Von Achane and Raheem Mostert, who also possess historic levels of explosive playmaking ability.

From a schematic standpoint, Wright landed in an ideal spot, but he faces the challenge of competing for playing time behind two of the league's top backs from last season. Despite this, fantasy managers drafting Wright late should note the injury risks associated with both Achane and Mostert. The Dolphins under McDaniel have a history of employing a two-back system, even when one player is performing exceptionally well. This history suggests that Wright could work his way into the rotation if either Achane or Mostert misses time due to injury.

However, there is a significant risk that Wright might see limited or almost no playing time in 2024, which could make him a potential bust even at a late-round price tag. Fantasy managers will need to consider both his high upside and the possibility of limited opportunities when deciding whether to invest in Wright. If circumstances align, he could emerge as a valuable contributor in the Dolphins' backfield.

News From The Past 90 Days

Miami getting thin in running back room

Miami Dolphins
#Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel told reporters that RB Raheem Mostert (chest) is out Thursday night vs the #Bills. As for RB De'Von Achane (ankle), he’s a game-time decision. “We’ll see.” (Ian Rapoport on X)

FFToday's Take: The Dolphins will have their running back depth tested this Thursday night against the Bills. Jeff Wilson was active last week and expect rookie Jaylen Wright to make his NFL debut after being Inactive in Week 1. Achane will be the back to own but he may not get a full workload on the short week if he plays. If he sits, expect Wilson and Wright to share touches.
