Should You Start or Sit Jaylen Wright in Week 7?
Wright’s profile in Miami’s offense is exciting, and we saw glimpses of it in the Dolphins’ Week 5 win over the Patriots (13 carries for 86 yards) after De’Von Achane left with a concussion.
The expectation is for Achane to return this week, and with Raheem Mostert active in an offense that appears destined to be stuck in the mud until Tua Tagovailoa returns, there’s no space for the rookie to carve out a fantasy-relevant niche at the moment, even in a great matchup.
That’s not to say that Wright isn’t deserving of a roster spot. Should Achane suffer a setback this week or struggle to pass protect, I’d have Wright ranked over Mostert as the most valuable member of the backfield and an RB2.
Even if all three RBs are healthy this week, that assures us of nothing long-term, and that is the case for stashing Wright. We think better days are ahead for Miami’s offense as a whole, and Mostert/Achane remain health risks.
