Week 6 has arrived! Unfortunately, the injury watch for fantasy managers is also here. Players who appear on the Friday injury report and haven’t practiced much during the week can often lead to trepidation for managers trying to make lineup decisions and/or waiver claims. Don’t fret, though – FantasyPros is here to provide you with all of the latest news and updates on the players who are questionable heading into the weekend.
Jeff Wilson Jr. has been on the PUP list for all of the 2023 season, but his 21-day practice window opened last week. However, he now carries an injury designation of “doubtful” which is typically bad news. Will Jeff Wilson play in Week 6? Here’s what we know.

Jeff Wilson Jr. listed as doubtful to make debut in Week 6
Miami Dolphins RB Jeff Wilson Jr. (ribs/finger) is doubtful to return off of the PUP list to the field in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
Wilson, who had his 21-day practice window opened up, isn’t quite ready to return to the field yet and will likely be out in Week 6. For all fantasy managers who have taken a flier on him, he may be good to go in Week 7. This opens up the door even further for a potential smash week from Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert, and Wilson could join him on the field later while rookie RB De’Von Achane remains on IR.

What the Experts Are Saying
It looks like we will have to wait another week for El Jefe’s return. He practiced in a limited fashion all week and has been listed as doubtful. I expect him to sit.
