Jaylen Wright News
Thursday, June 4, 12:46 PM
Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik said running back Jaylen Wright is showing a greater comfort level this season and "has some speed," per David Furones of the Sun Sentinel. Wright missed time early in the 2025 season with a knee injury, but finished the year with 332 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 75 touches across 10 games. As long as star Dolphins running back De'Von Achane remains healthy, it will be difficult for Wright to earn enough touches to provide fantasy-relevant production. However, Wright may be on his way to firmly seizing the RB2 role in Miami away from fellow Dolphins back Ollie Gordon II. If Wright emerges as the clear backup to Achane, he would profile as one of the better handcuff running back options for fantasy managers entering 2026.

Ollie Gordon II News
Wednesday, June 3, 12:28 PM
A sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II recorded 231 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns on 77 touches across 17 games as a rookie. After starting the year as the RB2 in Miami behind De'Von Achane, Gordon II gradually lost playing time to Dolphins back Jaylen Wright over the course of the season. While the Dolphins did not make any notable additions to their backfield over the offseason, Gordon II appears likely to enter 2026 third on the team's running back depth chart. Additionally, Miami signed Achane to a four-year, $68 million extension in May, locking him in as a focal point of its offense for the remainder of the decade. Gordon II could still carry some appeal as a handcuff option, but his dynasty stock is falling thanks to the crowded backfield picture in Miami.
