Jaylen Wright Inactive Against Lions With Quad Injury

Sunday, November 8, 6:59 AM

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (quad) is inactive for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Detroit Lions. Wright missed Wednesday's practice and was limited Thursday and Friday before Miami listed him as questionable. He leads the Dolphins with 608 kickoff return yards, including 142 on five returns against New England last week. Malik Washington is second on the team with 225. With De'Von Achane on injured reserve, Ollie Gordon II has carried 44 times for 172 yards over Miami's last two games, while Wright had eight carries for 13 yards in that span. Kaytron Allen (quad) is active after two limited practices and a full session Friday. He has yet to record a regular-season carry. Miami also elevated Carlos Washington Jr. from the practice squad Saturday.

Ollie Gordon II News

Ollie Gordon II a Riskier Starting Option with Backup QB Beside Him

Thursday, November 12, 5:28 AM

Miami running back Ollie Gordon II has performed pretty well since taking over as the team's lead back after the De'Von Achane (ACL) injury, but now with Malik Willis (groin) out, Gordon's fantasy value and appeal are down. Gordon has 16 or more carries in five of the past six games he's played, and he's factored in a bit as a pass catcher as well. He has 107 rushes for 463 yards and four touchdowns over eight games, plus has caught seven of his 10 targets for 23 more yards. Miami is expected to start Kyle McCord, which is a downgrade from Willis. If McCord cannot keep the defense honest, the box will be stacked, which will make running tougher for Gordon. He still could deliver solid fantasy scores on volume touches, but Gordon is definitely a riskier starting option now, and he could be one to skip depending on matchups and your other options.
