ANALYSIS: Jeff Wilson Jr. was designated for return from injured reserve (rib/finger) on October 11 which presented the potential for him to make his season debut in Week 6. Wilson’s infusion into Miami’s backfield was delayed for an additional week. However, Wilson did accumulate his first snaps of the season during Miami’s Week 7 matchup with Philadelphia.
Wilson was restricted to seven snaps and one touch, while Raheem Mostert led the backfield in snaps (26), rushing attempts (nine), and rushing yards (45). Salvon Ahmed played on 18 snaps, tied Mostert in routes run (13), and collected one of his two targets.
Mostert should continue to function as Miami’s lead back while De'Von Achane remains on injured reserve. The backfield will become more congested when Achane resurfaces. However, that does not preclude you from seizing Wilson. His history with Mike McDaniel should propel him beyond Ahmed on Miami’s depth chart. That could also result in a weekly touch total that elevates Wilson into a potential flex option.
