Hartitz ranked Jaylen Wright RB42 but notes he is still available outside the top-50 backs on nearly every site. Despite a quiet rookie year, Wright led Miami’s backfield in yards after contact per carry (3.3), tackles avoided rate (23.5%) and explosive-run rate (10.3%) in 2024. Miami released Raheem Mostert, let Jeff Wilson walk, only signed Alexander Mattison to a 2 million dollar deal, and waited until pick 179 to take rookie Ollie Gordon, leaving Wright as the clear RB2 behind De'Von Achane. Hartitz believes that sets up a Tyjae Spears/Jaylen Warren-style “flex with benefits” role and massive handcuff upside, making Wright his single most-drafted player of the offseason at the sub-RB50 cost.

Wright’s ADP rocketed from 182.3 to 163.5 (+18.8, +10.3 %), and Donabedian still labeled him a “fantastic” pick. With Raheem Mostert gone, only Alexander Mattison sits between the rookie and meaningful touches behind De’Von Achane. Donabedian cautioned that some drafters may be overestimating screen-pass upside after the Jonnu Smith trade, but the path to early-down work in a top-five offense keeps Wright squarely on his target list at today’s price.

Wright’s ADP climbed from 182.3 to 163.5 (+10.3%) yet Donabedian still calls him ‘way undervalued.’ With Raheem Mostert gone, only Alexander Mattison sits between Wright and touches behind De’Von Achane. The analyst notes Mike McDaniel wants to regain the 2022-23 vertical attack, meaning fewer tight-end screens and more explosive run looks. Wright’s straight-line speed fits that philosophy, giving him a clear path to weekly best-ball usability if Achane misses time. Donabedian recommends scooping Wright as a late-round RB lottery ticket, especially in Hill/Waddle builds.

Wright’s ADP climbed from 182.3 to 163.5 (+10.3 %), and Donabedian still calls him “fantastic” value. With Raheem Mostert gone, only Alexander Mattison backs up De'Von Achane, giving Wright an immediate No. 2 role in one of the league’s fastest offenses. Donabedian cautions that drafters might be over-projecting RB targets after the Jonnu Smith trade, but the cost still bakes in minimal risk for Wright’s 4.3-speed splash-play profile.

Sean Koerner pegged Jaylen Wright as a Round-15 lottery ticket with a clearer path than drafters realize. The 2023 fourth-rounder disappointed as a rookie—ending up in Mike McDaniel’s doghouse—but Koerner likened the potential second-year bounce to Tank Bigsby’s turnaround. Raheem Mostert is gone, leaving Wright as De’Von Achane’s primary backup in an offense that supported two fantasy-viable backs even when both were healthy. Koerner emphasized Miami’s wide zone scheme fits Wright’s blazing 4.38 speed and that Achane’s perfect health last year is unlikely to repeat; the average RB misses 2-3 games. In those weeks Wright could inherit 12-15 touches with multiple goal-line looks on one of the league’s highest-scoring attacks. Even without injury, McDaniel has shown willingness to rotate backs to maintain pace, giving Wright standalone best-ball value. Koerner sees him as the ideal late-round handcuff plus upside play for managers who faded running back early.

Pete Overzet called rookie runner Jaylen Wright a classic "value-hound" pick after scooping him 22 spots past ADP at 210 overall. With ambiguous depth-chart battles unfolding ahead of him, Overzet likes Wright as a fifth running back who can unlock contingent upside if veteran bodies break down. The steep slide relative to Michael Leone’s ranking (186) provides immediate closing-line value, and Overzet believes Wright’s athletic profile makes him the kind of late-season difference-maker that can swing Best Ball Mania advance rates.
