BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Compared to other players having their first games in their new teams (after the trade deadline) this weekend, Jeff Wilson Jr. can surely be considered a winner and a quick learner of new offenses. Wilson went all the way from the West coast (SF) to the East coast (MIA) and he hit the ground running (no pun intended) with the Dolphins his first time doing it for the Fins.
Wilson actually had his second-best game of the season this past Sunday facing the Bears away from home and scoring 16.2 PPR points (good for RB7 pending MNF) to the tune of a perfect 3-for-3 receiving line (21 yards, one TD) adding 51 yards on 9 carries through the game.
The Dolphins' playbook and the way in which Wilson was used last Sunday contrasts a lot with his first half of the season when he was carrying the rock 17+ times more often than not for 75+ yards weekly. That said, he should retain some 7-to-10 rushing attempts weekly while getting 50+ yards and contributing to the passing game.
Raheem Mostert was the Dolphins' starter at RB and he exchanged drives with Wilson this past weekend. Even then, there was a point in which Wilson looked like the better rusher and took over in the game against the Bears. That might stay the same next week and ROS, adding some more upside to Wilson's case.
