Who Should I Start? Jaylen Wright or Ollie Gordon II

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.

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II has been working through a knee injury and may have lost some playing time as a result. He has been limited in practice leading up to the Dolphins' Week 11 matchup against the Commanders in Madrid, but he does not have an injury designation this week. Last week, when he was listed as questionable, the rookie only played three snaps and had one carry, while Jaylen Wright played 10 snaps and had five carries. The two will continue to back up De'Von Achane, but since Achane is the focus of the offense, the work behind him is very limited. In Week 11, Gordon is the No. 52 RB in RotoBaller's rankings, leaving him buried on the bench or the waiver wire in all but the deepest formats.
