Should You Start or Sit Jaylen Wright in Week 12?
The ‘Fins have clearly committed to De’Von Achane and I think managers with Jaylen Wright should be happy with this development.
The rookie is unlikely to hold stand-alone value regardless, and a commitment to Achane removes the temptation to play a low-opportunity Wright in your Flex spot
Dolphins RB snap shares, Week 11:
- Achane: 65.8%
- Wright: 21.4%
- Raheem Mostert: 14.5%
Wright was drafted as Achane’s insurance, and given these snap counts, he’s best positioned to move into the RB2 tier if the starting back were to get hurt. The Patriots allow 2.9 running back carries per game of 10+ yards, the fifth most in the league, making Wright an interesting DFS punt play if you’re trying to catch lightning in a bottle.
