Who Should I Start? Jaylen Wright or Isaac Guerendo

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright seems to have taken over as the team's primary backup behind De'Von Achane. He played 18 snaps last week compared to just three for rookie Ollie Gordon II, and Wright added a garbage-time touchdown while taking his nine carries for 35 yards and catching one of his two targets for 18 yards. Wright had a massive game in Week 14 against the Jets after Achane left with an injury, racking up 107 yards and a touchdown. He has that kind of potential if a similar situation were to develop, but his role is limited behind Achane when he's healthy. He is only the RB61 in RotoBaller's rankings this week, indicating that he's best left on the bench or waiver wire against the Buccaneers in Week 17.

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan James is active for Monday's Week 16 contest against the Indianapolis Colts and is on track to make his NFL debut. The rookie had previously been a healthy scratch, but he's getting a chance to play on primetime television, perhaps in a mix of special teams and offensive depth roles. He's taking the spot of fellow rookie Isaac Guerendo, who is a healthy scratch for the first time in his young career. Guerendo has contributed on special teams this year, but he doesn't have an offensive snap yet. Both running backs remain buried on the depth chart behind Christian McCaffrey and Brian Robinson Jr.
