Jaylen Wright, selected by the Miami Dolphins in the 2024 NFL Draft via a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles, is poised for a significant leap in his second season. Despite a lackluster rookie year, where he averaged 5.0 yards per carry in the first half but plummeted to just 1.6 yards in the latter games, he showed flashes of his potential. His standout moment came in Week 5 against the New England Patriots, filling in for the injured De'Von Achane and rushing for 86 yards on 13 carries.

With Raheem Mostert's departure, Wright's opportunities are set to increase, sharing the backfield with Achane, Alexander Mattison, and rookie Ollie Gordon. As the Dolphins aim to balance the workload, Wright is expected to take on tough inside runs, relieving pressure from Achane, who excelled as a pass catcher last season. If he can harness his potential, Wright could become a valuable asset for fantasy managers looking for a breakout candidate.
