Who Should I Start? Jaylen Wright or Ollie Gordon II

Saturday, December 27, 7:48 AM

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.

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II has flashed touchdown-dependent upside in his rookie season, but he's battled an ankle injury and fallen down the depth chart in the last few weeks, playing behind Jaylen Wright. Gordon only played three snaps last week against the Bengals, compared to 18 for Wright. He also lost a yard on his only carry. The sixth-round pick has four touchdowns on the season, but in his limited role, he's not a great option to start in Week 17, when his Dolphins host the Buccaneers. In RotoBaller's rankings, Gordon is only the No. 66 RB, making him an option best left on the bench or waiver wire in almost all formats.
