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.

Dolphins moving on from RB Raheem Mostert
33-year-old RB looking for a new team in 2025
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Feb 14, 2:03 pm
|  | Looks like my client Raheem Mostert will be playing elsewhere next season. Very thankful for his time with the Miami Dolphins, and this gives them a chance to get younger and gives him a chance to pursue a ring elsewhere. (Brett Tessler on X)
FFToday's Take: Mostert's agent dropped the news that his client won't be back in Miami next season. Mostert played in 12 games in 2024 but his playing time was reduced towards the end of the season, failing to reach 10 carries in his last seven games. The Dolphins will move forward with De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright and likely a third back to be determined. Mostert will turn 33 in April and doesn't figure to have a big role with any team he lands with in 2025.
