Jaylen Wright

Jaylen Wright never took over a backfield at the college level, settling for an 11% career dominator rating. But his efficiency was off the charts during his final season at Tennessee. He finished first in the class in yards per carry (7.4), averaging the second-most yards after contact per attempt (4.35) with the fifth-highest breakaway run rate. His 3.54 yards per play during his junior year ranked third highest in the class in his first-year as a starter.
However, it still resulted in just a 14% dominator rating. Wright will struggle to carve out a massive role at the NFL level.
That being said, he has elite athleticism to be productive even in a smaller role. He blew the doors off the NFL Scouting Combine with a 40-yard of 4.38 seconds. Also jumped 38″ in the vertical and 134″ in the broad jump (1st in the class). No doubt he will rise after extremely strong testing at 5-foot-10 1/2 while at 210 pounds.
And he is in a great position to succeed in Miami, even as a Round 4 pick. The location is a great scheme fit for what head coach Mike McDaniel covets: speed. He is also behind an aging Raheem Mostert and undersized De'Von Achane, both of whom suffered injuries last season

Jaylen Wright rushed for 86 yards on 13 carries in the Dolphins 15-10 win over the Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

Wright led the team in rushing yards and turned in season highs in carries and yards in the win Sunday. The rookie running back saw an increase in playing time with De'Von Achane ruled out early with a concussion. Wright and the Dolphins will head to their bye week in Week 6.
