Your fantasy playoffs are quickly approaching, and in this video, we are going to be breaking

0:03.6

down the 10 running backs.

0:04.6

You should be stashing that can actually help you win your league.

0:07.1

These are guys that are available in way more than 50% of fantasy leagues right now, and they're

0:11.2

just one injury away from potentially being league winners.

0:14.0

So go stash these guys before your friends do, and we'll start with the Miami Dolphins'

0:17.6

fourth round rookie running back out of Tennessee. Jalen Wright, who, look, he continued

0:21.3

his nice role as the team's backup running back. Yes, ahead of the veteran Rahim Mostart in this

0:25.8

Right now, of course, Devine A-N is the number one running back in this backfield. But the whole point here is in case A.m. was to go down, miss a game or extended

1:11.1

periods of time, Wright could be a league winner. Because in a limited sample without A. Chain this year,

when A. Chain left in week five before the buy with a concussion, you saw Jalen Wright take on a lot more work.

13 carries, 86 yards in this game. He was averaging nearly seven yards per touch on his 13 carries. And here's the deal. If you're not familiar with Jalen Wright, this is like the
