Who Should I Start? Ameer Abdullah or Jaylen Wright

The San Francisco 49ers have placed running back Ameer Abdullah (ribs) on season-ending injured reserve, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Abdullah, who just joined the 49ers as a free agent on July 31, suffered a rib injury in a preseason-opening 30-9 loss to the Denver Broncos this past Saturday. While the 32-year-old was unlikely to make much of an impact this season (if any), it's another hit to San Francisco's depth in the backfield. The team is already set to go multiple weeks without injured Christian McCaffrey backups Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) and Jordan James (finger). The 49ers brought back Jeff Wilson Jr. in free agency on Sunday in the wake of Abdullah's injury to provide some much-needed healthy depth behind McCaffrey.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright has hardly gotten any playing time this season, but with Ollie Gordon II (ankle) questionable for Week 10, it could be time for Wright to finally re-enter the rotation. Wright didn't have any carries or catches all season until Week 8, when he had nine carries for 28 yards and a reception for no receiving yards against the Falcons. Last Thursday in Week 9, he was back out of the rotation as a healthy inactive against the Ravens. Last year, the fourth-rounder had 249 yards on his 68 carries, but this year, he hasn't been able to crack the rotation. If Gordon is out or limited, he could get a few carries against Buffalo, but he's not much of a fantasy option at this point, since he's still just the RB78 in RotoBaller's Week 10 rankings.
