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.

Raheem Mostert, RB MIA

11:32am EST 12/8/24

Raheem Mostert INACTIVE

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (hip) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jets. His absence could mean a few extra touches for RB De’Von Achane, particularly in the red zone. RBs Jaylen Wright and Jeff Wilson are also active for Miami.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (hip) is not expected to play vs. the Jets today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Mostert has averaged just 2.5 carries and 1.8 targets over the last four games, so there isn't a big fantasy impact here. RB De'Von Achane could pick up a few extra touches, particularly in the red zone. Jaylen Wright and Jeff Wilson will serve as the No. 2 and 3 RBs.

Dolphins RB De’Von Achane notched 17 carries for 73 yards and 1 score in Sunday's win over Vegas. He added 32 receiving yards on an 11% target share.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert suffered a hip injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Raiders and is officially questionable to return. His absence leaves Miami's backfield to De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright. We'll update Mostert's status when we know more.

Update: Mostert returned in the second quarter.

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.
