Kareem Hunt, Roschon Johnson, Jaylen Wright, Top Waiver-Wire RBs after achane injury | News, scores, highlights, stats and rumors

If you want to stick it to Miami for Achane’s potential replacement and Mostert is unavailable, the next obvious option is Jaylen Wright. But it is a risky business.

For starters, Mostert will be the main man in Achane’s absence. This much became clear on Sunday: At press time, Mostert had 10 carries for 39 yards, while Wright had three carries for 12 yards.

The second is that if you need help next week, Wright won’t give it to you because he’s saying goodbye. Chances are Achane won’t miss any significant time after the bye, meaning Wright could provide a week or two of relevance, tops.

Wright is mostly a handcuff stock at this point, but given the injury histories of both Achane and Mostert — and Miami’s ability to historically have more than one running back at a time with significant fantasy relevance — it’s certainly not the worst idea if you want an open roster spot and other strong options to hire in week 6.
