Wright rushed 13 times for 23 yards and brought in both targets for 17 yards in the Dolphins' 38-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Wright had the opportunity to helm the Dolphins' ground attack due to De'Von Achane's absence with a shoulder injury, but the former found running room to be at a premium against New England's stout front. Wright found occasional success as a complementary option throughout the 2025 season, finishing the campaign with 288 rushing yards (4.1 yards per carry) and two touchdowns while adding five receptions for 44 yards on nine targets across 10 games. Wright figures to continue working in a reserve role in 2026, potentially in a new offensive system if Miami opts to let head coach and offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel go following a 7-10 season.

Wright rushed five times for 56 yards in the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The backup running back flashed with a 32-yard run, the longest of his two-year career. Wright also had scored a touchdown in two of the previous three contests and eclipsed 100 yards in one of them, so he's delivered some deep-league, late-season utility behind De'Von Achane. Wright could be the beneficiary of some extra run if head coach Mike McDaniel opts to reduce the snaps of some of his top players in a Week 18 road matchup against the Patriots.

Wright rushed nine times for 35 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for 18 yards in the Dolphins' 45-21 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Wright saw complementary snaps behind De'Von Achane and recorded his second rushing touchdown of the season on a three-yard run with just under four minutes remaining. Despite the fact he tied his second-highest carry total of the season versus Cincinnati, Wright is likely to slot into a low-volume role in a Week 17 home matchup against the Buccaneers next Sunday unless Achane is injured or there's another blowout scenario at play.

Wright rushed once for two yards and brought in his only target for nine yards in the Dolphins' 28-15 loss to the Steelers on Monday night.
EDGE Analysis
One game after logging a career-high 24 carries against the Jets due to De'Von Achane's early exit with a ribs injury, Wright reverted to a bit role Monday night despite Ollie Gordon exiting due to an ankle injury in the second quarter. Wright did record only the second catch of his career, but with Achane healthy and capable of playing all three downs, Wright looks likely to remain minimally involved over the final three games of the season, even if Gordon is sidelined for any period of time.

Wright rushed 24 times for 107 yards and a touchdown but didn't catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Wright's two-yard touchdown run in the first quarter came prior to De'Von Achane's second-quarter departure from the game due to a rib injury. Ollie Gordon added a touchdown run in the second half but posted only 17 rushing yards on his five carries. If Achane doesn't return in Week 15 against the Steelers, Wright could work as the lead back ahead of Gordon in a Dolphins offense that relies heavily on its running backs.

Wright carried the ball three times for 16 yards during Sunday's 21-17 win over the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Wright logged the same amount of carries as No. 2 running back Ollie Gordon, who garnered 10 rushing yards. Meanwhile, De'Von Achane racked up 134 rushing yards and one touchdown across his 22 carries. Wright will continue competing with Gordon for reserve opportunities as the Dolphins head into a Week 14 divisional matchup against the Jets.

Wright rushed once for four yards during Miami's 16-13 overtime win over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Wright worked behind standout De'Vone Achane (172 yards from scrimmage) as well as Ollie Gordon (nine carries for 45 yards and one score) again Sunday. He had worked as the No. 2 back behind Achane in Week 10, but that opportunity came due to Gordon managing an ankle injury, which he's now fully recovered from. The Dolphins will go on bye Week 12, so Wright's next chance to handle reserve duties will come Sunday, Nov. 30 versus the Saints in Week 13.

Wright carried the ball five times for 17 yards during Miami's 30-13 win over the Bills on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Wright operated as the No. 2 option behind De'Von Achane in Week 10 as Ollie Gordon, who entered the contest questionable due to an ankle issue, rushed just once for minus-three yards. If Gordon is full healthy to face the Commanders overseas in Madrid in Week 11, he figures to reclaim the top backup role behind Achane, but it was nonetheless encouraging to see Wright active for the third time in the last four weeks, after he had been a healthy scratch to begin the season. Of course, Achane -- who racked up 225 yards from scrimmage and two scores on 28 touches -- remains the sole dominant fantasy contributor in the Dolphins' backfield.

Wright is active for Sunday's game against the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has been a healthy scratch for most of the season, but he'll suit up Sunday -- marking his third time garnering active status on the campaign. The move likely comes as insurance for Ollie Gordon, who is active Sunday but has been limited in practice throughout the week by an ankle injury. Wright isn't likely to see much opportunity so long as both De'Von Achane and Gordon remain healthy.

Wright (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
With Wright the odd man out versus Baltimore, De'Von Achane and Ollie Gordon will handle Miami's Week 9 backfield duties. Wright's next chance to suit up for game action will arrive Sunday, Nov. 9 against the Bills.
