Jaylen Wright News
Thursday, April 2, 4:24 PM
Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright finished 2025 with 70 carries, trailing only De'Von Achane in Miami's running back room despite missing seven games. With the Dolphins clearing house on the offensive side of the ball and all but declaring 2026 to be a rebuilding year, running back would seem to be a low-priority position for them in the upcoming NFL Draft. Ollie Gordon II will have his own role in keeping Achane fresh, especially with Miami likely to face an influx of loaded boxes, but he was inefficient as a rookie, and Wright is more adept at handling some of the vacated targets in the passing game. While Miami's offense is unlikely to produce multiple fantasy contributors in 2026, Wright still maintains some dynasty value as the more direct handcuff to Achane.

Ollie Gordon II News
Thursday, April 2, 12:44 PM
A seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II entered his rookie year as the primary backup to star Dolphins rusher De'Von Achane. Gordon II saw limited playing time over the course of the season, racking up 231 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns on 77 touches. He also ceded some opportunities down the stretch of the season to Miami back Jaylen Wright, who out-snapped Gordon II in three of the team's final six games. The Dolphins have made major organizational changes so far this offseason, replacing head coach Mike McDaniel, trading wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, and releasing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. While the changes have led to speculation around a possible trade of Achane, Dolphins officials have been adamant in their stance that the team is looking to build around the young running back. As long as Achane is in Miami, Gordon II's dynasty upside is limited. However, he could be worth prioritizing as a priority handcuff option just in case the Dolphins do end up making additional moves.
