Jaylen Wright Ready to be the Primary Backup RB vs. the Bills

Wednesday, September 17, 6:48 PM

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (knee) was able to put in a full practice on Wednesday before the Dolphins play in Buffalo on Thursday Night Football against the Bills. Wright is expected to be the primary change-of-pace and rotational running back with De'Von Achane when healthy. Wright had 15 carries for 249 yards as a rookie last year and added three catches for eight more yards. He is only a pickup in extremely deep leagues at this point until his role is clearer. Achane rotated with Raheem Mostert effectively for the last two seasons, but without Mostert, Ollie Gordon II has seen minimal work this season as a change-of-pace play. Gordon's role will likely be even more limited with Wright back, but Wright may have deep-league value or at least be a good handcuff for Achane if he gets enough work going forward.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. on the Week 3 Injury Report

Wednesday, September 17, 4:09 PM

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (calf) finds himself on the Week 3 injury report after he was limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Rookie Cam Skattebo is also on the report with an ankle injury, but he was a full-go on Wednesday and should be fine for Sunday night's tilt against a stiff Kansas City Chiefs defense. Tracy played 74% of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 loss to the Washington Commanders, but that number dropped to 42% in Sunday's overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys as he watched Skattebo take over the backfield and score his first career touchdown. The 25-year-old second-year back is being used as a returner on special teams now, too, which could signal that the Giants are already comfortable giving Skattebo a bigger role in the backfield. Now dealing with an injury, Tracy is quickly losing fantasy appeal and is shaping up as a shaky RB3/flex if he plays in Week 3.
