Who Should I Start? Nyheim Hines or Jaylen Wright

Saturday, October 11, 8:37 PM

According to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero, the Los Angeles Chargers elevated Nyheim Hines off the practice squad ahead of the Week 6 meeting with the Miami Dolphins, marking his first taste of regular-season action since 2022. Najee Harris (Achilles) is done for the rest of the season, and Omarion Hampton (ankle) will miss at least the next four contests. As a result, Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal are expected to split carries out of the backfield, presumably leaving Hines with the leftover scraps. It's unknown how long Hines will suit up for the Bolts moving ahead, especially if the team brings in another running back sometime soon. Either way, Haskins, Vidal, and Hines won't be relevant from a fantasy standpoint once Hampton is cleared to return.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright is a healthy scratch for the second straight week on Sunday against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers at Hard Rock Stadium. Wright got off on the wrong foot in 2025 due to an injury and just hasn't been able to establish himself in Miami's backfield behind starter De'Von Achane. Although rookie Ollie Gordon II hasn't had much of a role behind Achane through five weeks, he has been the preferred chance-of-pace option over Wright, even though Wright is now healthy. The 22-year-old Wright has not played in a game yet in 2025 after carrying the ball 68 times for 249 yards in 15 games (one start) in his rookie campaign in 2024. He also caught three passes for eight yards. Fantasy managers can continue to leave Wright on the waiver wire in redraft leagues.
