Who Should I Start? Jaylen Wright or Dylan Laube

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.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Dylan Laube could be in line for a slight uptick in playing time this week against the Washington Commanders. Laube logged just 18% of the offensive snaps in the Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers but managed to catch two passes for 17 yards, flashing the receiving skills that made him a standout in college. Head coach Pete Carroll suggested the team may work him in more on offense after limiting him almost exclusively to special teams in Week 1. For now, Laube remains buried on the depth chart behind Ashton Jeanty and Zamir White, leaving him without any immediate fantasy value. Still, the fact that the Raiders are looking to carve out a role for him in the passing game is a positive sign for his long-term outlook.
