Who Should I Start? Jaylen Wright or Ollie Gordon II

Friday, October 24, 7:59 PM

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright started the season sidelined by a knee injury, but he has been available since Week 4. However, Wright still doesn't have a target, a carry, or even an offensive snap. He was a healthy scratch in Week 5 and Week 6, but in Week 7, he was active. He was still not involved in the offense; however, still playing behind De'Von Achane and Ollie Gordon II. Wright showed flashes of upside last year as a rookie, and his name has been floated in trade rumors this season. However, it's hard to get a real idea of how good he can be when he's so uninvolved. If the Dolphins give him some work this week against the Falcons, he could at least boost his trade value. Since he hasn't done anything all year, Wright is the No. 73 RB in RotoBaller's rankings. He is off the fantasy radar for now, but it's worth monitoring to see if he gets any work this week.

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's divisional showdown with the Bills after being limited in practice all week. The injury occurred last Thursday against Baltimore, but even the extra time hasn't helped him be 100%. He was starting to get more consistent work behind De'Von Achane, including a 10-carry, 46-yard performance in Week 8 against Atlanta. On the season, Gordon II has logged 122 rushing yards and 30 receiving yards while scoring a pair of touchdowns. If he's limited or out, Jaylen Wright would likely take over as Miami's primary backup running back. Even if he's healthy, he'll be a touchdown-dependent flier play behind workhorse De'Von Achane. He's the No. 48 RB this week, so he shouldn't be started in all but the deepest of formats.
