Jaylen Wright Impressing Bobby Slowik During OTAs

Thursday, June 4, 12:46 PM

Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik said running back Jaylen Wright is showing a greater comfort level this season and "has some speed," per David Furones of the Sun Sentinel. Wright missed time early in the 2025 season with a knee injury, but finished the year with 332 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 75 touches across 10 games. As long as star Dolphins running back De'Von Achane remains healthy, it will be difficult for Wright to earn enough touches to provide fantasy-relevant production. However, Wright may be on his way to firmly seizing the RB2 role in Miami away from fellow Dolphins back Ollie Gordon II. If Wright emerges as the clear backup to Achane, he would profile as one of the better handcuff running back options for fantasy managers entering 2026.

Braelon Allen is Getting Bigger and Stronger

Wednesday, June 10, 5:49 PM

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen has been working hard this offseason. Allen says that he's bigger and stronger than ever before. Allen is currently up to 250 pounds, which is up from 238-240 that he was at last season. He continued by saying that his body fat percentage is at an all-time low. Allen is looking to rebound after having surgery to repair an MCL injury he suffered in Week 4 of last season. If everything goes right, Allen should take on the role of the backup running back to Breece Hall. There's some stash value here if Allen is truly ready to take his game to the next level.
