Despite missing six games in 2025 due to a knee injury, Jaylen Wright has claimed the No. 2 running back spot on Miami’s initial depth chart, backed by a 7.4 College Yards Per Carry (95th percentile) mark. Wright’s late-season 107-yard performance against the Jets demonstrated the explosive potential that keeps rookie Ollie Gordon—and his 34.9-percent College Dominator Rating (86th percentile)—behind him in camp.

With starter De’Von Achane commanding primary workload duties, Wright can lock up direct contingent value with a strong preseason showing against Washington. Gordon still offers the superior profile for fantasy football dynasty leagues, Wright is now the preferred option for redraft formats as Achane’s handcuff back.
