Jaylen Wright Exits Week 7 Win vs. Jets with Injury

Sunday, October 25, 12:08 PM

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (quad) exited Sunday's game against the New York Jets with an apparent injury, the team reported via the X platform. Wright recorded just six carries for eight yards before exiting the game. The third-year back has dealt with a foot injury in the early part of the season, which has kept him from sharing more responsibilities with Ollie Gordon II since De'Von Achane (knee) sustained a season-ending injury. Wright should remain on the bench across fantasy leagues given his minimal production.

CJ Donaldson Unlikely to See Fantasy-Relevant Workload in Week 7

Saturday, October 24, 5:49 AM

Across six games so far in 2026, New Orleans Saints running back CJ Donaldson has recorded 91 yards from scrimmage on 21 touches. The 22-year-old has played a regular role in his team's backfield rotation on third downs. He's also started to earn a few more touches of late, recording a season-high six carries and 39 rushing yards in Week 6 against the New York Giants. However, Donaldson is still competing with Kendre Miller and Alvin Kamara for snaps and touches in the Saints backfield. The Saints will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7, who profile as a much tougher run defense than the Giants. With all three backs likely to get their chance against the Pittsburgh, Donaldson is tough for fantasy managers to trust as a starter.
