In a surprising move, Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright has been declared a healthy scratch for the team's season opener against the Jaguars. Despite this unexpected decision, it was anticipated that Wright would not play a significant role in Week 1, given the presence of De'Von Achane and Raheem Mostert ahead of him on the depth chart. However, fantasy managers are advised to keep Wright on their benches as he may have potential value later in the season.
