Jaylen Wright vs. Patriots — Backup Workload Keeps Him on the Fantasy Fringe

Wright exited his last contest with a quad issue, but with no official injury designation, he enters Week 8 ready to back up Ollie Gordon II in Miami's backfield. Opportunity has been scarce and inefficient for the third-year back, as he has managed just 20 carries for 36 yards (1.8 yards per carry) across five appearances this season.

As 7-point home underdogs against New England, the Dolphins could easily abandon the ground game, further pinching Wright's limited volume. We project him for just 4.2 fantasy points on 6.6 rushing attempts and under one reception. With roster rates tumbling down to 5%, fantasy managers should leave him firmly on the bench outside of deep handcuff stashes.

Outlook Seth McGowan

Seth McGowan at Jacksonville — Emerging Backup Remains Primarily a Stash

McGowan enters Week 8 operating as the primary backup behind Jonathan Taylor on the depth chart. While his fantasy roster rate jumped to 26% following an 11-carry outing in Minnesota, he remains purely a change-of-pace option. Over his last two games, McGowan has handled 15 carries, securing the clear secondary role ahead of DJ Giddens.

Our weekly projection anticipates limited volume on the road in Jacksonville, slating him for roughly 5 carries, 23 rushing yards, and 3.6 fantasy points. Facing a projected negative game script as underdogs, standalone opportunities will be tough to find behind Taylor. McGowan is a priority handcuff stash, but fantasy managers should leave him on the bench.
