Jeff Wilson Jr. Fantasy

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. is gearing up for his revenge game against the San Francisco 49ers. The 27-year-old has managed to tally 209 rushing yards, 58 receiving yards and three touchdowns since his trade to Miami, but he's coming off an underwhelming Week 12 performance in which he logged just 3.0 yards per carry against a woeful Texans run defense. Not only is Wilson coming off a poor game, but the Dolphins will welcome back Raheem Mostert (knee), who was inactive last Sunday. Between added competition in the backfield and a matchup against the Niners stingy defense, Wilson drops to the RB3 tier this week.

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. rushed 13 times for 39 yards and one touchdown against the Houston Texans in Week 12. He also caught one pass for an additional 13 yards through the air. Wilson was expected to feast against Houston's woeful run defense, and while he certainly didn't look great out of the backfield, he did salvage his fantasy performance by scoring a touchdown. He figures to rank as an RB2 against the 49ers next week, though he could face competition if Raheem Mostert (knee) is healthy enough to return.

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. has quickly reached must-start territory in fantasy football. Miami is coming off a bye, and its 27-year-old back is poised to pick up right where he left off in mid-November. Wilson has flourished through two games since being dealt to the Dolphins, racking up 170 rushing yards, 45 receiving yards, and two touchdowns. During that span, he ranked as the overall RB3 in fantasy football. Heading into Week 12 against the Houston Texans, everything has fallen in place for Wilson to thrive once again. Not only is Houston's defense allowing 31 fantasy points per game to running backs and 10.6 points in the red zone (both marks are league-worsts), but Wilson's backfield-mate, Raheem Mostert (knee), is in jeopardy of missing the contest after two consecutive DNPs in practice. Thus, Wilson could have the backfield all to himself. He ranks as a mid-to-high RB2 and should be started across the board.
