"Wright is entering his second pro season after totaling 71 touches in 15 games as a rookie. The 2024 fourth-round pick spent most of his first year as a clear depth option behind De'Von Achane and Raheem Mostert, often time splitting No. 3 duties with Jeff Wilson Jr. He failed to find the end zone or reach 9.0 fantasy points in a single game. Achane is back as the clear lead back in 2025, but with Mostert and Wilson gone, Wright will compete with rookie Ollie Gordon for primary backup duties. That's enough to provide the 22-year-old with some late-round insurance appeal, though he'll miss time to open the season due to injury."


"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."

"Mafah -- a seventh-round pick by Dallas in April's draft -- is one of the biggest backs in this class at 6-foot-1, 234 pounds. He's not particularly fast and his collegiate efficiency was underwhelming, including the lowest eluded tackle rate in this rookie class. The Dallas RB situation is seemingly wide open, but in order to find his way to a sizable rookie-season role, Mafah will need to beat out veterans Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders, as well as fellow rookie Jaydon Blue."


"In the wake of the Cowboys ruling out Javonte Williams (shoulder/neck) and Malik Davis (calf/eye) for Week 18 on Friday and subsequently placing both on injured reserve one day later, Mafah, who was activated from IR on Saturday, will be in the mix for touches out of the backfield Sunday behind Jaydon Blue and FB Hunter Luepke. A seventh-round rookie, Mafah thus is in line for the first game action of his pro career, though Blue and Luepke are the likeliest candidates to earn snaps among the trio."

"Sanders signed with Dallas after failing to pan out during his two seasons in Carolina. Signed to a multiyear contract prior to 2023, Sanders was handed the Panthers' lead-back gig, but lost it to Chuba Hubbard within a matter of weeks. He went on to average 8.3 touches per game and score a total of two touchdowns in 26 outings prior to putting up a 116-yard, 2-TD showing with Hubbard sidelined last season. Perhaps that proves he still has some gas left in the tank, but now 28 years old and not much of a contributor as a pass catcher, it's unlikely Sanders will find his way to the fantasy radar. He'll battle Javonte Williams and rookie Jaydon Blue for work in Dallas, and is only worth a late flier in deep leagues."


"Sanders left this past Sunday night's tie against the Packers in the second quarter and was unable to return. However, it sounds like he avoided a serious injury. Sanders has been operating as the change-of-pace option behind Javonte Williams in Dallas' backfield to begin the season."
