Who Should I Start? Jaylen Wright or Dylan Sampson

Friday, November 14, 10:17 PM

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright finally got some work in the team's backfield in Week 10 against the Bills, and he could again serve as De'Von Achane's backup in Week 11 against the Commanders in Madrid. Wright had a larger role since Ollie Gordon II was questionable with an injury and only played three snaps, but this week Gordon has no injury designation, even though he was limited in practice with an ankle injury. Wright took his five carries for 17 yards last week and now has 14 carries for 45 yards on the season. Achane is expected to take most of the work again this week, with Wright and Gordon possibly picking up a few carries as well. Wright doesn't bring much upside, though, even in this favorable matchup. He's only the RB 67 in RotoBaller's rankings, indicating that he's safe to leave on the waiver wire in almost all formats, even though it's worth watching whether he works ahead of Gordon again.

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson has shown some ability in the passing attack when given the chance this season, hauling in at least five passes twice this season. He will look to stay active through the air in a Week 11 home matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have struggled against running backs this season, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Sampson doesn't have a guaranteed workload behind fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins, who carried the ball 22 times in a loss to the New York Jets in Week 10. Fantasy managers counting on Sampson will have to hope he does his damage through the air against the Ravens, which is entirely possible if the Browns get down early and have to abandon the run. Sampson sets up as a low-end flex option in PPR leagues for this weekend.
