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.

Another inefficient showing

RBMiami Dolphins

November 12, 2024

Wright rushed five times for three yards during Monday's 23-15 win over the Rams.

ANALYSIS
Wright has now totaled just 21 yards on 11 carries (1.9 YPC) in his last two appearances, a disappointing development after he averaged 5.3 YPC in his first six career appearances. He did, however, work as the No. 2 backfield option behind De'Von Achane versus Los Angeles, while veteran Raheem Mostert was held without a rushing attempt but secured two of three targets. Achane remains the Dolphins' clear backfield leader, with Wright and Mostert splitting the leftover duties. Wright will try to do more with his opportunities in Week 11 versus the Raiders.
