BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB2
UPDATE: De'Von Achane is officially active for Thursday Night Football.
ANALYSIS: Jeff Wilson Jr. should be strongly considered as a start in deeper fantasy football leagues this week, particularly as an RB2 or flex option, as the Dolphins face the Bills on Thursday night.
With Raheem Mostert already ruled out and De'Von Achane playing but questionable all week, Wilson is in line for a significant workload.
Wilson has proven in the past that he can be productive when given the opportunity, and in a potentially high-scoring game against the Bills, his involvement in both the running and passing game could provide solid fantasy value.
Fantasy community during draft season:
DRAFT Jaylen Wright. You get a handcuff for EITHER Raheem Mostert OR De'Von Achane.
*Raheem Mostert is ruled out, De'Von Achane is a game-time decision*
Fantasy community:
I'm playing Jeff Wilson Jr.

Even with Achane playing, Wilson’s role in the Dolphins’ offense makes him a low-end flex play in deeper formats. Miami will need to establish the run to keep up with Buffalo’s offense, and Wilson’s experience and ability to handle a heavy workload make him a dependable option.
His versatility in the red zone and ability to contribute in short-yardage situations could also lead to scoring opportunities, making him a strong candidate for fantasy managers in need of an RB2 or flex this week.
