2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Wilson played for Mike McDaniel four years in San Francisco and became one of his most trusted players -- so much so that the coach convinced the front office to trade a fifth-round pick after Week 8 last year to acquire the veteran back. He started well for Miami, totaling 267 yards in his first three games and averaging 5.4 yards per carry, but a hip injury slowed him in the middle of the season and Raheem Mostert took over more work. The Dolphins re-signed Wilson to a two-year, $5.99 million deal with his 2023 pay almost fully guaranteed, suggesting McDaniel has a substantial role in mind again. Although lacking the speed of Raheem Mostert and third-round pick Devon Achane, the 27-year-old Wilson holds a weight advantage -- about eight pounds more than Mostert and 25 more than the rookie. That doesn't make the 6-foot Wilson much of a power back at just 213 pounds, but he might be the closest thing the Dolphins have to one this season. As much as Mostert appears to be Miami's 1A at running back, Wilson could be a 1B who rotates in, particularly when the situation calls for more of a power element. Read Past Outlooks

Staying in South Beach
The Dolphins re-signed Wilson to a two-year contract Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
With the team also retaining Raheem Mostert, Miami now brings back its core backfield duo from the second half of the 2022 season. After the 49ers dealt Wilson to South Beach at the trade deadline last November, he racked up 96 touches for 486 yards from scrimmage and four TDs from Weeks 9-18, while Mostert racked up a 98-544-3 line in the same span. Expect a similar breakdown for the pair in the coming campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
2019
Wilson began last season on the PUP list due to a foot injury, so he missed a chance to take over for injured starter Raheem Mostert early in the campaign. That opportunity was seized by rookie Elijah Mitchell - who excelled and is lined up to be the 49ers' No. 1 running back in 2022 - but Wilson still earned four starts for an absent Mitchell between Weeks 11 and 16. The four-year pro provides a well-balanced set of skills that can be interchanged in any role. From a fantasy perspective, it likely will take injuries or a change of scenery for Wilson to pop back on the radar.
