Scouting report

by Brandon Niles

SF RB Jeff Wilson - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Washington Football Team

Jeff Wilson had seven carries and two receptions for a total of 59 yards from scrimmage last week in a loss to the Bills. Wilson played a complementary role to Raheem Mostert, a role that is likely to be his high-end potential while Mostert is healthy. While he’s always a threat to vulture away a touchdown, he’s too risky to bank on when he’s not getting a full workload. He can remain on waivers.

SF RB Jeff Wilson - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Los Angeles Rams

Jeff Wilson had some spot duty behind Raheem Mostert last week in a lopsided loss to the 49ers, ending up with 27 yards on four carries. With Mostert back in action, it’s hard to imagine Wilson having fantasy relevance, even in deep leagues. He’s competing with Jerick McKinnon for change-of-pace work, and hasn’t been much of a pass-catcher. Outside of the occasional and infuriating vulture touchdown, Wilson has no value with Mostert healthy. It’s probably safe to drop him.

SF RB Jeff Wilson - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Miami Dolphins

Jeff Wilson is usually valuable for his touchdown vulturing, but he failed to the find the end zone last week and touched the ball just four times for 19 yards. Wilson is worth considering in touchdown-only leagues as a deep flyer, but in most leagues, he’s too risky to bank on. With Raheem Mostert having an outside chance at returning as well, Wilson’s value may be limited, even in a good matchup. If Mostert is out again, then taking a gamble on him as a deep RB3 is justifiable, but in most leagues, he should stay on the bench, especially if Mostert plays.

SF RB Jeff Wilson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Jeff Wilson had just 15 yards on 12 rushes against the Giants last week, but he scored a touchdown on the ground and another in passing game, as he added three catches and 54 yards to his totals. Wilson may be the last man standing in the 49ers rushing attack, or he may find himself back to third on the depth chart depending on the status of Raheem Mostert and Jerick McKinnon. If both are out, Wilson becomes a sneaky borderline RB2 with the potential for a full workload – not to mention his traditional goal line carries. If only one is out, then Wilson still has some deep league and touchdown-only league value, as he’s a notorious touchdown vulture.

SF RB Jeff Wilson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at New York Giants

Jeff Wilson has vultured touchdowns in the past and bounced up and down the depth chart for the 49ers, but he never seems to completely go away. He looks like he’s on target to disrupt the Jerick McKinnon party this week, but he’s more likely to hurt McKinnon than to be a great option in his own right. That being said, he has some upside in deeper leagues if the 49ers can play ball control against a terrible Giants team. It’s possible both backs feed, and we know Wilson has some goal line chops. He’s a low-end RB3 option in deep leagues.

SF RB Jeff Wilson - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Green Bay Packers

Jeff “The Vulture” Wilson showed he can vulture through the air as well last week against the Cardinals, scoring on a 25-yard reception. It was his only touch of the game, however, making it hard to trust him in your fantasy lineup. While he’s managed five touchdowns this year off of only 27 total touches, expecting a score in any given week is dangerous. If Matt Breida and Raheem Mostert both miss this week’s contest against the Packers, then Wilson has some upside against the 23rd ranked defense in aFPA to opposing running backs, but that seems a lot to ask for. He should remain on waivers in most leagues.

SF RB Jeff Wilson - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Seattle Seahawks

Jeff “The Vulture” Wilson stole four touchdowns over his first two games of the season, but he’s been largely inactive since. With Matt Breida and Tevin Coleman both expected to be active once again this week, there’s no reason to expect Wilson to get work. He may vulture a score again, but that’s super risky to count on and he should remain on waivers in all leagues.
