Outlook Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright vs CIN — Volatile Option in a Shared Dolphins Backfield
Wright enters Week 5 questionable with a foot injury after a limited Friday practice, so fantasy managers must confirm his active status before kickoff. Even with De'Von Achane sidelined for the year, Wright has ceded early momentum to teammate Ollie Gordon II, who dominated touches last week. While Miami's coaching staff indicated Wright is due for more carries, he is currently operating as the secondary option in a committee backfield.
Our weekly models project Wright for roughly 6.8 fantasy points, anticipating around 8 carries for 33 rushing yards alongside minor passing-game involvement. Currently started in just 3% of fantasy leagues, Wright remains a risky proposition while dealing with the foot ailment in a negative game script. Keep him on the bench until his backfield share and health become clearer.

Outlook Dameon Pierce
Dameon Pierce in London — Expanded Role Follows Key Backfield Injuries
Pierce was recently signed to Philadelphia's active roster after injuries sidelined both Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby. Head coach Nick Sirianni publicly praised Pierce's starting ability, setting him up to share touches alongside Will Shipley in London against Jacksonville.
Despite the promotion, Pierce remains a speculative deep-league play rather than a standard starter. He is rostered in just 5% of leagues, and our weekly projection expects around 7 carries for 26 rushing yards and a lone reception (about 5.2 fantasy points). With multiple starting offensive linemen also ruled out, Pierce is a touchdown-dependent option who should be rostered as an upside stash while this backfield sorts itself out.
