Who Should I Start? Jaylen Wright or Bhayshul Tuten

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright recorded his first career 100-yard game in the Week 14 win over the New York Jets, handling 24 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown. Wright dominated the touches in Miami's backfield after De'Von Achane (ribs) left in the second quarter due to a rib injury. Entering Week 14, the 22-year-old running back had only played 37 snaps with 18 carries in five games this season, but he leapfrogged rookie Ollie Gordon II against the Jets. With Achane going out, the second-year back played 37 snaps and set a career high with 24 carries. Head coach Mike McDaniel said Achane could have returned to the game, but he also said Monday that Achane may require additional rest. With Achane's status for Week 15 against the Pittsburgh Steelers in question, Wright could be in line for another workhorse-type role. He'd profile as a plug-and-play RB2 in Week 15 if Achane is ruled out.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten had an underwhelming game in Week 14, recording just two carries for five yards against the Indianapolis Colts. Tuten briefly exited the game and was evaluated for a concussion before being cleared to return. Still, the injury scare could be a reason why his workload was limited against the Colts. Tuten's upside is limited by the presence of veteran Jaguars back Travis Etienne Jr., who remains the clear RB1 in Jacksonville. However, Tuten has flashed upside this season, recording 277 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 77 carries across 13 games. If Etienne Jr. were to miss time due to injury, Tuten would be in line for a significant role increase. Heading into his Week 15 matchup against the New York Jets, Tuten should be rostered as a high-end handcuff option in all fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams.
