Who Should I Start? Jaylen Wright or Isaac Guerendo

Monday, December 8, 1:17 AM

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright had a career day in Week 14's 34-10 win over the New York Jets after De'Von Achane (ribs) exited early. Wright finished with 24 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown while also seeing three targets but not hauling in any of them. The second-year back has only been active in six games this season, with 10 touches being his most in a game, which came back in the Week 8 blowout win against the Atlanta Falcons. He's been firmly behind rookie Ollie Gordon II in the pecking order for touches, but Wright operated ahead of Gordon in this game after Achane left in the second quarter due to a rib injury. Gordon also punched in a touchdown on seven carries. The severity of Achane's injury is currently unknown, but Wright would emerge as a priority waiver-wire addition if Achane were to miss any time.

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo was thrust into action in his rookie season in the NFL in 2024 because Christian McCaffrey missed most of the year due to injuries. Guerendo finished with 84 rushing attempts for 420 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (three starts) and also chipped in 15 catches on 16 targets as a pass-catcher for 152 yards. Fantasy managers probably viewed him as a pretty valuable handcuff for the injury-prone CMC going into 2025 drafts, but the Niners' acquisition of Brian Robinson Jr. before the season pretty much killed whatever fantasy appeal he had. Through the first seven weeks of his sophomore campaign, the 25-year-old former fourth-rounder has yet to play an offensive snap with CMC and B-Rob both staying healthy. Instead, Guerendo has been limited to a special teams role, returning five kickoffs for a combined 100 yards.
