BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues
UPDATE: De'Von Achane is officially active for Thursday Night Football.
ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. could have a sizeable workload in their Week 2 matchup and is worth adding in all standard leagues.
Raheem Mostert (chest) was recently ruled out for Week 2 and De'Von Achane (ankle) was a game-time decision but will be active. This could set Wilson up for a sizeable workload on Thursday evening.
In the season opener, when both Mostert and Achane left the game early, the Dolphins turned to Wilson late in the game to help get the offense in range for a game-winning field goal.
This is how you shift the tone in a football game.
Lined up on 2nd and 4, you get a false start, which backs you up into second and 9.
Typically a pass look (Miami passed 9/14 times on second and long), but they trot out 22 personnel with Jeff Wilson, force the Jaguars into… pic.twitter.com/sVttP52edf

While fourth-round rookie, Jaylen Wright will likely play a role in the Week 2 match against the Buffalo Bills (he was a healthy scratch in the opener), the Dolphins may rather lean on their veteran in a tight divisional game on Thursday. Wilson has a path to lead the team in both carries and rushing.
In addition, if Mostert's and Achane's injuries linger throughout the early part of the season, Wilson could be a viable flex play going forward.
