Impact Wright entered the NFL as a 2024 fourth-round pick anticipated to join De'Von Achane as a big-play threat out of the backfield, courtesy of his 4.38 speed, but he wrapped an uneventful rookie year with just 68 carries for 249 yards (3.7 YPC) and zero touchdowns, with just one rush of 20-plus yards. Achane remains Miami's clear No. 1 tailback but is limited by a small frame and handled 281 touches in 2024, so the Dolphins should be eager for another playmaker capable of handling consistent carries to emerge. Wright still faces clear opportunity if he can impress this offseason, and coach Mike McDaniel talked up his effort during OTAs, but he'll have to compete with two larger backs in the form of experienced veteran Alexander Mattison (5-11, 220 pounds) and rookie sixth-round pick Ollie Gordon (6-1, 226 pounds), both of whom are better suited for power concepts.

Uninspiring rookie season Wright rushed six times for minus-four yards during Sunday's 32-20 loss to the Jets.

Impact Wright saw his highest touch total since Week 12 during Miami's regular-season finale, but the rookie fourth-round pick did disappointingly little with his opportunities. Across 15 regular-season appearances, Wright rushed 68 times for 249 yards without a single touchdown. He also secured three of six targets for eight yards. The Tennessee product was touted as a big-play threat due to his 4.38 40 speed, but logged only one run of 20-plus yards as a rookie. Even if the Dolphins opt to move on from veterans Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson this offseason, Wright will need to improve heading into Year 2 to secure a notable role behind De'Von Achane.

Uninvolved versus Cleveland Wright did not log a carry or target during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Browns.

Impact Wright wasn't held without an offensive snap versus Cleveland, as he had been Week 16 against San Francisco, but he was uninvolved in Miami's gameplan. The rookie fourth-round pick looks set to close out the regular season as an afterthought behind all of De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson at home against the Jets in Week 18.

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Works as No. 4 option Week 16 Wright did not record a carry or target during Sunday's 29-17 win over the 49ers.

Impact Wright appears to have fallen to fourth on Miami's backfield depth chart, as veteran Jeff Wilson worked in behind starter De'Von Achane and backup Raheem Mostert. The rookie fourth-round pick has rushed just three times for 10 yards while securing two of three targets for six yards across his past four appearances. He'll compete for more depth opportunities on the road against Cleveland in Week 17.

DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Falls back to No. 3 on depth chart Wright rushed once for three yards during Miami's 20-12 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Impact Wright fell down to third on the depth chart behind De'Veon Achane and Raheem Mostert, following the veteran running back's return from injury. Achane and Mostert combined for 18 carries versus Houston, in addition to notable work in the receiving game, while Wright's opportunities were limited to a single carry. The rookie figures to lock down a similar depth role against the 49ers in Week 16.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Does little in backup role Wright rushed twice for seven yards during Sunday's 32-26 overtime win over the Jets. He also secured two of three targets for six yards.

Impact Wright handled the No. 2 backfield role for Miami with Raheem Mostert (hip) inactive Week 14, and he saw a few extra snaps in the red zone during the first quarter with De'Veon Achane briefly being checked for an injury on the sideline. New York's defense effectively contained the Dolphins' running game, as while Achane was successful through the air (six catches for 45 yards), he piled up just 24 yards and one score on 14 carries. Wright, however, wasn't exactly impressive enough to push for increased opportunities, and Mostert may be back in action Week 15 on the road at Houston.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Invisible in Thursday's loss Wright did not log a single carry or target during Thursday's 30-17 loss to the Packers.

Impact Wright had, in recent weeks, appeared to usurp the No. 2 backfield role from Raheem Mostert, but the Dolphins opted to trust the veteran running back over the rookie fourth-round pick during Thursday's cold weather tilt. The No. 2 role could be up for grabs once again heading into a Week 14 home game against the Jets, but even if fantasy managers had clarity on whether Wright or Mostert would hold a monopoly on those reps, De'Von Achane remains the only reliable fantasy option in Miami's backfield.

Handles No. 2 role in Week 12 win Wright had seven carries for 28 yards during Sunday's 34-15 win over the Patriots. He failed to secure his only target.

Impact Wright seems to have secured the No. 2 role in Miami's backfield behind De'Von Achane, who rushed 10 times for 32 yards but scored twice through the air while securing three of four targets for 24 yards. Veteran Raheem Mostert, meanwhile, had just two carries for five yards. Wright has been impressive in limited opportunities, but Achane's extreme efficiency in scoring situations means the Dolphins' remaining backfield opportunities aren't especially high-value for fantasy purposes. Wright will look to continue building momentum Thursday versus the Packers.
