Wright inactive; Miami’s ground game and short-yardage options may rely more on other backs and quick-pass schemes.

Wright’s inactive status for Week 5 repeats after a knee injury and limited practice time, leaving Miami’s backfield without a true third option in a run-focused plan. Fantasy expectations dim unless a late-season opportunity arises.

Inactives marked Wright as a surprising healthy scratch, continuing a preseason knee issue storyline. He’s fallen behind Ollie Gordon II on the depth chart and hasn’t contributed in the last two games, reshaping the Dolphins’ backfield expectations and the waiver-wire outlook for rest-of-season depth.

Wright is the third-back option whose involvement hinges on health and practice competition. He could elevate if he proves sharp in practice, adding depth and potential goal-line opportunities to the committee.

Wright missed the first two games due to a knee injury, was active but not used in Week 3, adding another layer to Miami’s backfield depth and injury-recovery narrative.
