Jeff Wilson Jr. Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (ankle) is expected to miss at least the next month due to a high ankle sprain that he sustained Sunday versus New England. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Wilson would be headed toward injured reserve earlier in the day, with the severity of the injury revealing itself Monday night. Wilson appeared to have vaulted past Jerick McKinnon in the backfield pecking order, although it's likely McKinnon and JaMycal Hasty will see the vast majority of reps next Sunday versus Seattle. While Wilson's three-touchdown breakout performance was exhilarating, his absence should keep fantasy managers from nabbing him off the waiver wire with Raheem Mostert (knee) also apart of future 49ers backfield plans.

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (ankle) suffered an ankle injury after scoring his third touchdown in Week 7 against the New England Patriots. He was down on the ground in pain at the time of the injury, suggesting that he was dealing with something significant. Head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that he was worried that the injury is a high-ankle sprain, adding that the team should know more soon. Wilson should be considered doubtful for the team's Week 8 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Jerick McKinnon and JaMycal Hasty figure to be the team's primary running backs in the game.

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (ankle) carried the offense in the team's Week 7 win over the New England Patriots. He rushed the ball 17 times for 112 yards and three touchdowns. Unfortunately, while scoring his third touchdown, he suffered an ankle injury that appears to be somewhat significant, potentially a high ankle sprain. It's an unfortunate development for Wilson after such a strong performance. Jerick McKinnon was presumed to be the team's primary back in Week 7, but he rushed just three times for negative one yards. With Wilson likely to miss next week, the 49ers will probably be going with a mix of McKinnon and JaMycal Hasty when they face the Seattle Seahawks.
