2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wright's rookie season was disappointing, but patience is warranted in light of his age (22 in April) and the fact that he was never a full-time player in college at Tennessee. The 2024 fourth-round pick still has plenty of potential, thanks to his 4.38 speed at 5-foot-11, 210. De'Von Achane is too light to do everything in the Miami backfield, and with Raheem Mostert no longer on the roster, Wright seemingly had a clear path to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart. Things didn't go well for him this summer, however, with Wright suffering a leg injury that's expected to keep him out for the start of the season. Rookie sixth-round pick Ollie Gordon stepped up in the meantime and could potentially become the long-term No. 2 back behind Achane if he handles the role well early on. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a four-year, $4.78 million contract with the Dolphins in June of 2024.
Fizzles in lead role Sunday
Wright rushed 13 times for 23 yards and brought in both targets for 17 yards in the Dolphins' 38-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Wright had the opportunity to helm the Dolphins' ground attack due to De'Von Achane's absence with a shoulder injury, but the former found running room to be at a premium against New England's stout front. Wright found occasional success as a complementary option throughout the 2025 season, finishing the campaign with 288 rushing yards (4.1 yards per carry) and two touchdowns while adding five receptions for 44 yards on nine targets across 10 games. Wright figures to continue working in a reserve role in 2026, potentially in a new offensive system if Miami opts to let head coach and offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel go following a 7-10 season.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Most draft analysts expected Wright to go sooner than the fourth round this spring, and the combination of a crowded Miami backfield and disappointing draft capital doesn't exactly hint at big-time production Year 1. On the other hand, Raheem Mostert has shown that a running back with Wright's approximate height/weight/speed dimensions can post big numbers in the Mike McDaniel offense. Wright ran a 4.38 40 at 5-11, 210, confirming that he has speed to turn the corner and split safeties in the NFL, after he frequently did so at Tennessee. He averaged 6.0 yards on 146 carries in 2022 and then 7.4 YPC across 137 carries his final season, providing first-rate efficiency on medium-sized workloads in a spread offense. Wright probably isn't much of a power runner and caught only 30 passes in three collegiate seasons, but if Mostert or De'Von Achane misses any time the rookie should offer timely firepower as a rushing specialist.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May be lead back for Week 18
Wright could be Miami's top available running back in Week 18 against the Patriots, as De'Von Achane missed a second consecutive practice Thursday due to a shoulder injury, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
ANALYSIS
The Dolphins are out of playoff contention and don't have much reason to push for Achane to play. If Achane's unavailable, Wright and Ollie Gordon would be Miami's two healthy running backs. Wright has worked ahead of Gordon in recent weeks, and the former has recorded at least 53 scrimmage yards in three of the past four games.
