Jaylen Wright News
Sunday, March 15, 9:17 AM
Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright only appeared in 10 games (one start) in his second year in the NFL with the Dolphins in 2025, carrying the ball a career-high 70 times for 288 yards (4.1 yards per carry) and two touchdowns on the ground. He added five catches on nine targets for 44 yards through the air. The 22-year-old fourth-rounder in 2024 out of Tennessee stands at 5-foot-10 and 208 pounds. Wright has plenty of game-changing speed to break big plays, but the problem is his volume will likely continue to remain limited in Miami's backfield behind do-it-all back De'Von Achane. The Dolphins will have a new offensive system under new head coach Jeff Hafley and with new quarterback Malik Willis in 2026, but with Achane still expected to see the lion's share of snaps and touches, Wright won't be much more than an upside handcuff option for those who draft Achane early. In addition to fighting for touches with Achane, the Dolphins also have second-year back Ollie Gordon II. In his two years, Wright has only had 537 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground on 138 rushing attempts.

Devin Neal News
Tuesday, March 31, 6:13 AM
New Orleans Saints running back Devin Neal (hamstring) entered this offseason as one of the most appealing risers in dynasty fantasy football leagues. However, the Saints' unexpected decision to sign Travis Etienne Jr. shook up their backfield, and now, it looks like Neal could be ticketed for the third-string role. In addition to the Etienne signing, it was recently reported that the Saints don't plan to trade Alvin Kamara. He previously expressed his desire to remain in New Orleans for the rest of his career, even threatening retirement if he were traded. Therefore, it looks like both Etienne and Kamara will be ahead of Neal, who had 163 rushing yards, 10 catches, 83 receiving yards, and two touchdowns from Week 12-15 as a rookie last season. There's clearly talent and production there, but his lack of a track record in the NFL will leave him third in the pecking order behind the two veterans. Backfield injuries could open the door for Neal to be a decent handcuff, but otherwise, he has a very difficult path to fantasy relevance.
