2024 Fantasy Outlook
The 28-year-old battled injuries again in 2023, appearing in only 10 games, but he was effective with limited touches and averaged 4.6 yards per carry. Wilson remains the closest thing to a power back in the Dolphins' RB room as Raheem Mostert, De'Von Achane and rookie Jaylen Wright are all speed merchants. That didn't translate into goal-line usage last season, and Wilson saw only one carry inside the five-yard line while failing to find the end zone at all. If he happens to be healthy when other Miami backs aren't though, he can he useful. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Not assured of roster spot?
Wilson is part of a crowded backfield alongside Raheem Mostert, De'Von Achane and rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright, Omar Kelly of The Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson may be a favorite of coach Mike McDaniel, but the 28-year-old nonetheless faces a difficult path to earning a roster spot if the three aforementioned RBs stay healthy this summer. With those three being roster locks, the Dolphins may end up having Wilson, Salvon Ahmed and Chris Brooks competing for one or two spots on the practice squad. Wilson agreed to a contract restructure in March, dropping his base salary to $1.12 million while guaranteeing him $400,000, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could benefit from move
Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com identifies Wilson as one player who could benefit from a change of scenery this offseason.
ANALYSIS
The veteran back simply doesn't have a path to appreciable opportunities in Miami, where Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane have a firm grip on the top two spots of the running back depth chart. Wilson proved he had plenty to offer in 2023 while averaging 4.6 yards per carry in limited action, and at 28 years old with six sub-100-carry campaigns in seven pro seasons, he should have plenty of tread on his tires.

2019
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 De'Von 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. He'll first need to complete his recovery from abdomen and finger injuries, with a stint on injured reserve ruling him out for the first four games of the season.
