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.
