Currently going undrafted in many leagues, it's weird to look back to the second half of the 2022 season and realize that Jeff Wilson actually led the Dolphins in carries after Week 8. This is despite the fact that he "started" just one game over that stretch. The numbers between he and Raheem Mostert were extremely close, with Mostert averaging 10 carries per game after Week 8 and Wilson averaging 10.4 carries per game over that same stretch. However, the discrepancy would've been even higher if Wilson had not been removed early in multiple games due to various injuries.
Mostert technically "started" all but two games he played in during the 2022 season, but that seemed more ceremonial than anything as it didn't result in him being a much better fantasy player than Wilson. Still, the 31-year-old Mostert is being projected by most experts to be the better fantasy asset in this committee to start the season, compared to the 27-year-old Wilson.
What's most likely to happen is probably another ugly committee with both players seeing between eight to 13 touches per week, as long as they're healthy, and neither one really claiming a strong enough role to be reliable for fantasy purposes. Add in the fact that the team brought in another speedy young back in rookie Devon Achane and there is just a lot to be worried about.
Still, considering that he's currently the lowest-drafted back in this offense, Wilson might actually provide the best pure value if things go similarly to 2022. He's a Mostert injury away from potentially seeing 15 or more touches per week in one of the league's most high-powered offenses and that's intriguing for a player you can select late in fantasy drafts.
