Bottom Line

Barring an injury, it’s tough to see Wright gaining fantasy value in 2024.

He’ll enter the season behind De’Von Achane and Raheem Mostert – a pair of excellent ‘23 performers.

Wright’s Round 4 draft capital suggests the Fins see a future rotational piece. That’s backed up by his explosive tape. Still, for this year, he’s a late-round lotto ticket.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Speed is Wright’s calling card, and he really proved it in 2023.
    • 20% of his rushes went for 10+ yards.
    • All four of his rushing TDs were from 40+ yards out.
  • He also flashed some power to his game, averaging the most yards after contact of any rookie RB.
  • Wright proved capable in the receiving game. After totaling 8 catches from 2021-2022, he notched 22 last fall.
  • The 21-year-old enters the league fresh. He’s never carried the ball more than 146 times in a single season.

What to Expect in 2024

  • Wright underwent winter thumb surgery and was held out of pass-catching drills at the NFL Combine. He was fine for OTAs.
  • He blazed a 4.38 forty time and broad jumped 11’2 – particularly impressive at his size (5’10, 210 pounds).
  • The Dolphins traded up to land him in Round 4. He was the fifth RB off the board.
  • It’s a clear luxury pick for a Fins squad that has Raheem Moster and De’Vone Achane under contract beyond 2024.
    • That duo combined for 312 carries, 1,812 rushing yards, and 26 rushing TDs last year.
  • Miami’s O-line looks like a potential weak link after losing G Robert Hunt and C Connor Williams in free agency.

De'Von Achane, RB MIA

9:25pm EDT 10/27/24

De'Von Achane Delivers Strong Game

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane certainly liked seeing Tua Tagovailoa back in the lineup for Sunday's game against Arizona. The speed back rushed 10 times for 97 yards, adding 50 yards on 6 receptions.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert returned from a chest injury to post 19 carries for 80 yards against New England. In a close victory, Miami ran 75 plays and stuck to a run-heavy game plan. De'Von Achane also left in the 1st quarter with a concussion.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (chest) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Titans. He's been limited in practice the past two weeks but evidently isn't ready for game action yet. Miami figures to continue using De'Von Achane in a feature role, with RBs Jaylen Wright and Jeff Wilson picking up scraps.

View all Raheem Mostert Shark Bites »

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (chest) is not expected to play vs. the Titans tonight, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. That'll again leave RB De'Von Achane in a workhorse role. He's totaled 33 carries and 12 targets with Mostert out the last two games. RBs Jaylen Wright and Jeff Wilson will be active behind Achane but are only in play as fliers in one or two-game DFS contests.

View all Raheem Mostert Shark Bites »

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (chest) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. He put in three limited practices this week, so he should have a good chance of making it back for Week 4. RB De’Von Achane racked up 22 carries and seven targets with Mostert out last week and should be busy again today. RBs Jaylen Wright and Jeff Wilson are active behind Achane but aren’t fantasy options.

Dynasty Write-up
Here’s one of the speediest RBs in the class. According to The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, Wright hit a Tyreek Hill-like 23.6 MPH in practice. The third-year Volunteer averaged a ridiculous 7.4 yards per carry in 2023, with 19 of his 136 attempts going for 15+ yards (per PFF). He missed the Senior Bowl to rehab an undisclosed injury, but there's no lingering concern. He showed out at the Combine with a 4.38 forty time and a 38-inch vertical. Miami provides an ideal landing spot for creative usage in a proven offense.
