Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (knee) was able to put in a full practice on Wednesday before the Dolphins play in Buffalo on Thursday Night Football against the Bills. Wright is expected to be the primary change-of-pace and rotational running back with De'Von Achane when healthy. Wright had 15 carries for 249 yards as a rookie last year and added three catches for eight more yards. He is only a pickup in extremely deep leagues at this point until his role is clearer. Achane rotated with Raheem Mostert effectively for the last two seasons, but without Mostert, Ollie Gordon II has seen minimal work this season as a change-of-pace play. Gordon's role will likely be even more limited with Wright back, but Wright may have deep-league value or at least be a good handcuff for Achane if he gets enough work going forward.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo rushed for 45 yards on 11 rushing attempts and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 40-37 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Skattebo broke off a 24-year run in the fourth quarter, which was the longest run of the day for the Giants. He later punched it in for his first career touchdown. Skattebo outpaced Tyrone Tracy Jr. 11 to five in rushing attempts on Sunday and could have earned more touches with his great performance against Dallas. Skattebo will look to build on Sunday's performance in Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Giants' rookie RB is only rostered in 58% of leagues and is worth picking up for fantasy teams needing help at running back.
