Who Should I Start? Owen Wright or Sione Vaki

Baltimore Ravens running back Owen Wright (foot) was carted off the field during Saturday's preseason finale against the Green Bay Packers. It has been announced that Wright broke his foot during the second quarter of this contest. This is a shame considering Wright was the favorite for the third string spot in the Ravens backfield. Derrick Henry will see the bulk of the carries with Justice Hill getting mixed in as the change-of-pace back. Now, Rasheen Ali could slide into the third string spot with Wright expected to miss significant time. There's unlikely to be much fantasy value for anyone behind Henry and Hill in this backfield.

Detroit Lions running back Sione Vaki rushed four times for 29 yards during Thursday's preseason loss to the New York Giants. He broke off a solid 15-yard run in the effort, but perhaps his best play was a fumble recovery after a Giants defender lost the football on an interception return. A fourth-round pick out of Utah, Vaki projects to make the 53-man roster, slotting in behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs on the running back depth chart. He's an appealing option in deep dynasty leagues (and even deeper redraft formats) given that he could earn a handful of opportunities if Montgomery or Gibbs miss any time in 2024.
