Jeff Wilson Jr. Should Flourish In Week 17
4 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. is in a great spot going into Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson rushed 22 times for 183 yards and added a 21-yard touchdown reception in Week 16. This week, he should see a similar workload as he's the team's clear No. 1 running back. The Seahawks have a strong run defense, allowing 96.2 rushing yards per game, but 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has a long track record of success against strong run defenses and the quantity of touches alone for Wilson should allow him to overcome any potential low efficiency. Start Wilson as a high-end RB2 with RB1 upside in Week 17.
