Jaylen Wright News
Monday, July 20, 9:25 AM
Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright finally got a real workload in Week 14 last season, and the result was 107 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries against the Jets. It was also the only time his role truly opened up. Wright appeared in 10 games after a preseason knee procedure, finishing with 70 carries for 288 yards and two scores, plus five catches for 44 yards. Miami has not moved away from De'Von Achane. Quite the opposite. Achane handled 305 touches for 1,838 scrimmage yards in 2025, then signed an extension through 2030. Ollie Gordon II is still around as well, and his short-yardage work could keep this from becoming a clean one-for-one replacement situation. Wright does have the better fit for Achane's broader role if needed. That is enough to keep the 23-year-old rostered in deeper dynasty leagues. He is more valuable to Achane managers than as a standalone target, and there is little reason to expect steady redraft production without an injury ahead of him.

Kaelon Black News
Monday, August 3, 10:44 AM
San Francisco 49ers running back Kaelon Black (adductor) did not practice Monday because of an adductor injury, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. The team has not announced when the injury occurred or provided a timetable for his return. Black had been receiving added work behind Christian McCaffrey with Isaac Guerendo and Jordan James sidelined, including six touches during one early team-heavy practice. San Francisco selected the rookie 90th overall after he rushed for 1,039 yards and 10 touchdowns during his final season at Indiana. His absence adds to a thin backfield that recently brought in veteran Khalil Herbert for depth. Black had made a good early impression, but the injury interrupts an important stretch for a third-round pick trying to earn a place in the regular-season rotation. He remains a deeper dynasty name to monitor, though his fantasy outlook will stay uncertain until the 49ers provide a recovery timeline and he returns to practice.
