Scouting report

MIA RB Jeff Wilson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Buffalo Bills

Even with Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane healthy and playing, Jeff Wilson found a way to rotate in. Now, without Mostert and Achane a game-time decision, Wilson immediately moves into the Mostert role and was a prized waiver add this week.

The matchup against the Bills is middle of the pack, but Wilson should still be a flex option this week even if Achane is a full-go. If Achane misses, Wilson likely becomes the lead back and would shoot up the rankings from RB31 right now.

MIA RB Jeff Wilson - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Washington Commanders

With De'Von Achane out and Salvon Ahmed on IR, Jeff Wilson ended up getting some decent playing time last week. He ran 11 times for 56 yards and caught three passes for 17 yards. He played on 33% of the offensive snaps compared to 60% for Raheem Mostert. Wilson should maintain a similar role this week assuming Achane is out again. However, if Achane is healthy it remains to be seen how Miami will handle all three running backs. If Achane is out, then Wilson looks like a solid RB3/flex option in a favorable matchup vs. the Commanders (29th aFPA). If Achane is in, then Wilson will be a risky option given the committee in Miami.

MIA RB Jeff Wilson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Kansas City Chiefs

Jeff Wilson saw a little more playing time in his second game back. In Week 7, Wilson played on 14% of the offensive snaps, and in Week 8 he played on 25%. He also saw more touches, rushing five times for 23 yards while catching two passes for 14 yards. While the slight improvement is nice, it's far from being enough to trust Wilson in your lineup. He's nothing more than a desperation play in a tough matchup against the Chiefs (4th aFPA) in Week 9.

MIA RB Jeff Wilson - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. New England Patriots

Jeff Wilson was eased back into the lineup in his 2023 debut as he saw just seven offensive snaps. He had no carries, and saw just one target which he turned into a four-yard catch. Wilson could see a bump in action this week if Raheem Mostert's ankle injury turns out to be serious. But if Mostert is active, Wilson be a tough option to trust. We'd avoid Wilson in fantasy until he start to see more playing time.

MIA RB Jeff Wilson - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Carolina Panthers

Jeff Wilson could make his 2023 debut this week after being placed on injured reserve to begin the season. Wilson was on IR as he dealt with an injury to his ribs and finger. Miami could use some help at running back now after De’Von Achane was placed on IR this week. In Wilson's absence, Miami proved it can have two fantasy viable running backs in Raheem Mostert and Achane, so we'd assume the same would be true with Mostert and Wilson. In fact, we saw it at the end of last season when these two backs had pretty even splits. If Wilson is active, he'll draw a favorable matchup against the Panthers (30th aFPA). But he carries some risk since it's his first game back, and Mostert is playing a high level. Wilson should be viewed as an RB3/flex option this week assuming he's active.

MIA RB Jeff Wilson - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at New England Patriots

Jeff Wilson and Raheem Mostert were pretty evenly split last week as Wilson returned from injury. Wilson played 60% of the offensive snaps compared to Mostert's 52%, and both of them saw 10 total offensive touches. Wilson had 40 scrimmage yards and a touchdown while Mostert had 49 scrimmage yards. They'll likely continue to split touches pretty evenly moving forward, which is bad news for both backs. The Dolphins already rank 6th for fewest rush yards in the league, and neither back has been a strong receiving threat. Plus they get a tough matchup against the Patriots (4th aFPA) this week. Wilson isn't much more than a desperation RB3/flex option in Week 17.

MIA RB Jeff Wilson - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Green Bay Packers

Jeff Wilson was inactive once again last week. Mike McDaniel said Wilson was close to playing, though, which means there's a good chance he returns to the lineup in Week 16 against the Packers. Although in Wilson's absence, Raheem Mostert ended up rushing for 136 yards. Wilson gets a favorable matchup this week against the Packers (26th aFPA), but he carries some risk. There's an issue of touches, plus the issue of him returning from injury. There are a lot of question marks for Wilson, which makes him a dangerous play, especially in a pivotal Week 16 fantasy matchup. He's not much more than a desperation flex option.
