JJ Zachariason initially bid equally for Jalen Wright and Ollie Gordon on waivers, but by Wednesday increased his Wright bids in some leagues to gain more exposure at a cheaper price point; Wright is projected as an RB4 in the split Dolphins backfield and not viewed as league-winning.NegativeRoleOct 3, 2026
Wright is expected to split backfield duties with Ollie Gordon after Devon Henry's injury. JJ notes both are inferior talents in a bad offense, making neither a strong fantasy play despite the opportunity.NegativeBustOct 2, 2026
Wright is exciting but historically follows a pattern where the starter returns and he loses opportunity. Even if that doesn't happen, the Dolphins' offensive coaching staff is not creative enough to turn Wright into a Devonte Henry-level producer, especially if he's mixing carries with Ollie Gordon. The Dolphins' weak offense and limited red-zone work (inside the five twice in three games) limit his ceiling.NegativeRoleSep 29, 2026
Wright is competing in a Miami backfield that just lost Devon Hinn, the team's best playmaker. Despite Hinn seeing an elite workload, he was only an RB2 in fantasy. Wright and other backfield competitors are inferior talents facing a potential split, making the situation unappealing; JJ Zachariason advises against spending free agent dollars aggressively on this backfield.NegativeInjurySep 29, 2026
Out in week three with a stinger. His absence meant Odell Gordon played every running back snap, but Wright's return status is uncertain and could affect Gordon's role going forward.
