Jeff Wilson Jr. Week 2 Outlook - Bills at Dolphins

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 12th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Last year, Wilson's workload was limited (41 carries). He wasn't particularly good when he got volume, either. Last year, among 77 qualifying backs, Wilson ranked 69th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 51st in yards after contact per attempt. Wilson can take advantage of this matchup if called upon this week if Achane is out. In that scenario, I would expect Wilson to lead the backfield, especially playing on passing downs, as Jaylen Wright factors in on early downs to share the workload. The Bills are a softer matchup on the ground. Last year, they gave up the seventh-highest explosive run rate, the fourth-highest yards after contact per attempt, and the 6th-highest yards per carry to zone runs (2023: Wilson 56.1% zone). Wilson should be a decent flex if Achane plays. If he's out, he could return RB2 value.
