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 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. Read Past Outlooks

Quiet in wild-card loss
Wilson secured one of two targets for six yards during the Dolphins' 26-7 wild-card loss to Kansas City on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Wilson had a quiet end to an underwhelming 2023 campaign in which he racked up 188 rushing yards on 41 carries (4.6 average) across 10 regular-season appearances, plus 14 catches for 85 yards on 17 targets. Despite missing the first six games of the season to rib and finger injuries and seeing a substantial downtick in total production, Wilson's end-of-year efficiency metrics still stand out, and his versatility makes him a valuable depth piece for Miami behind Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane. Wilson's set to make $3 million in 2024 on the final season of his current contract, but the Dolphins could cut him loose this offseason while only incurring a $782,500 dead-cap hit, meaning that in order to stay with the team he will likely have to negotiate a restructure.

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.
