Scouting report

SF RB Jeff Wilson - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Atlanta Falcons

Jeff Wilson has been super steady since Elijah Mitchell was hurt in Week 1. He has at least 15 touches in each of the past four games, and he had 17 carries for 120 yard and a touchdown in a lopsided victory over the Panthers last week.

Wilson has a great matchup this week against an Atlanta defense that ranks 25th in aFPA to opposing running backs. With another game on the docket where the 49ers are expected to lead, Wilson could be in for a busy day. Start him confidently as a RB2.

SF RB Jeff Wilson - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Carolina Panthers

Jeff Wilson has been steady since taking over as the primary back in Week 2, with at least 15 touches in each of his three starts, and 18 carries, 74 yards, and a touchdown last week against the Rams. Wilson seems to be having no trouble shouldering the load, and he receiving all but three of the 49ers’ non-QB rushing attempts on Monday night.

This week, Wilson faces a Panthers defense that ranks seventh in aFPA to opposing running backs. They just held James Conner to 3.7 yards per carry, so temper expectations for Wilson. However, his workload should still lead him to RB2 numbers. Start him.

SF RB Jeff Wilson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Los Angeles Rams

Jeff Wilson didn’t light the world on fire Sunday night against the Broncos, but he did end up with 108 yards on 12 carries and three receptions. He was on the field for 73% of the team’s offensive snaps, compared to just 9% for Jordan Mason, so it appears as though this is Wilson’s job, at least for the time being.

The Rams have kept opposing running backs in check so far this year, so it could be a tough day for Wilson, especially with LT Trent Williams likely out for several weeks. Consider Wilson a fringe RB2 option with his potential workload, but he’s risky to bank on for a big day.

SF RB Jeff Wilson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Denver Broncos

Jeff Wilson had 18 carries for 84 yards along with two catches for 19 receiving yards last week in a win over the Seahawks. As the healthiest guy in the room, Wilson’s workload looks pretty secure for the time being. With Kyle Shanahan coaching, there’s always risk, but in four starts last season he averaged 18.25 total touches per game.

This week, Wilson faces a Broncos defense that hasn’t been bad so far this season. They gave up points in the first half of Week 1 and the offense has been bad, but Denver is actually fifth in the league in rush defense through two games. Expect Wilson to have enough volume to be relevant, but the matchup to keep him from being super effective. We have ranked just outside RB2 territory.

SF RB Jeff Wilson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Seattle Seahawks

Jeff Wilson looks like he’ll be the primary back with Elijah Mitchell out for the foreseeable future. In a Kyle Shanahan offense, don’t count out some sort of committee approach, or even a surprise contender, but for now it appears Wilson is the guy.

Assuming he gets a full workload, he has strong potential against the Seahawks. Seattle just allowed 5.2 yards per carry from the Denver running backs on Monday night, and Javonte Williams caught a ridiculous 11 balls against this defense. We have Wilson ranked as a fringe RB2 option this week and he should be a priority waiver addition.

SF RB Jeff Wilson - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Houston Texans

Jeff Wilson had a solid outing against the Titans last week, gaining 57 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries and three receptions. He’s been a very solid RB2 with Elijah Mitchell injured, and should continue to be considered a viable handcuff and starting option whenever Mitchell is out.

This week, Wilson has tremendous upside against a Texans defense that ranks 29th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Watch the injury status of Mitchell carefully, and be ready with a backup plan in case Mitchell is active, but if Wilson starts, he should be a solid RB2 once again and worth starting in all leagues.

SF RB Jeff Wilson - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Tennessee Titans

Jeff Wilson had a great game against the Falcons last week, rushing for 110 yards and a touchdown in relief of the injured Elijah Mitchell. Mitchell is questionable heading into this week’s matchup against the Titans, so fantasy managers should watch the injury report carefully leading up to game time. If Mitchell starts, Wilson goes back to the bench and is relegated to handcuff status. If Mitchell sits, Wilson has low-end RB2 potential due to workload, despite a tough matchup against a Titans defense that ranks fourth in aFPA to opposing running backs.
