Ameer Abdullah Should Stay Involved in Week 16

Sunday, December 21, 8:24 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Ameer Abdullah saw his highest usage of the season during last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Abdullah was basically a non-factor all season until getting nine touches in last week's defeat. Adbullah rushed the ball four times for 15 yards, while hauling in five receptions for 32 additional yards through the air. It appears Abdullah is going to benefit by having Philip Rivers under center in Indy, as the veteran QB looked his way quite often in the short passing game. Given his success last week, the Colts are likely going to continue using Adbullah in short-yardage situations as a check-down option for Rivers. There could be some flex appeal in deep PPR leagues for Abdullah ahead of this Monday Night matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, given that they allowed Tony Pollard to total 18.2 PPR points last week.

Jaylen Wright News

Is Jaylen Wright the Handcuff Running Back to Target in Miami?

Sunday, June 28, 11:18 AM

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright had the start of his 2025 season disrupted by a knee injury, and he finished the year with 332 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 75 touches. As long as star Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) makes a full recovery from offseason shoulder surgery and is ready for the start of 2026 as expected, Wright's production upside is limited. However, Wright may have emerged as the primary RB2 in Miami ahead of fellow Dolphins back Ollie Gordon II down the end of last season. Following the Dolphins' Week 12 bye, Wright matched or exceeded Gordon II's snap count in five out of six games. For dynasty managers looking to roster Achane's handcuff option, Wright could be the player to target.
