Jaylen Wright News
Thursday, June 4, 12:46 PM
Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik said running back Jaylen Wright is showing a greater comfort level this season and "has some speed," per David Furones of the Sun Sentinel. Wright missed time early in the 2025 season with a knee injury, but finished the year with 332 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 75 touches across 10 games. As long as star Dolphins running back De'Von Achane remains healthy, it will be difficult for Wright to earn enough touches to provide fantasy-relevant production. However, Wright may be on his way to firmly seizing the RB2 role in Miami away from fellow Dolphins back Ollie Gordon II. If Wright emerges as the clear backup to Achane, he would profile as one of the better handcuff running back options for fantasy managers entering 2026.

LeQuint Allen Jr. News
Monday, June 15, 9:27 AM
John Shipley of Sports Illustrated writes that Jacksonville Jaguars second-year running back LeQuint Allen Jr. looks to be primed for a role on passing downs in 2026. It has been hard to really gauge Jacksonville's new-look backfield this offseason since new RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (foot) has missed time due to an injury. One thing is clear, though: Bhayshul Tuten looks much-improved, and he appears to be the favorite to lead the Jags in touches now that Travis Etienne Jr. is with the New Orleans Saints. Allen, 21, was selected with the 236th overall pick in 2025 in the seventh round out of the University of Syracuse. In his rookie campaign, he carried the ball only 23 times for 94 yards and caught 10 of his 11 targets for 54 yards in 17 regular-season games (one start). While Allen should have an expanded pass-catching role in 2026, he'll only be worth rostering in really deep PPR formats unless one of Tuten or Rodriguez misses time with an injury during the regular season. RotoBaller currently has Allen ranked as the No. 80 fantasy RB in redraft leagues.
