Jeff Wilson Jr. "Doing Great"
Jeff Wilson Jr. "Doing Great"

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (finger, ribs) is "doing great" and was "ready to go" last week in the win over the Carolina Panthers, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. Despite Wilson being ready, the team felt the need to use an open roster spot to activate offensive lineman Robert Jones instead. Wilson still needs to be officially activated from Injured Reserve, but that could come this week so that he can make his season debut in Week 7 in a showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles. Rookie De'Von Achane (knee) is out for at least three more games, so Wilson could eventually have a decent-sized role behind Raheem Mostert when he gets up to speed. Wilson should be stashed in most fantasy leagues, but managers shouldn't expect him to have a very big role in the backfield when he does make his 2023 debut.
