Who Should I Start? Jeff Wilson Jr. or Ronnie Rivers

Saturday, January 3, 3:01 PM

The Miami Dolphins have elevated veteran running back Jeff Wilson Jr. to the active roster ahead of Sunday's Week 18 matchup with the Patriots. Pro Bowler De'Von Achane (shoulder) had been listed as doubtful after failing to practice this week with a shoulder injury, and the move suggests he will not be active for the team's final game of the season. Should Achane miss Sunday's game, Wilson will slot in behind Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon II on the depth chart. With the Dolphins coming into the game as double-digit underdogs and facing a potential running back timeshare, neither Wright nor Gordon should inspire confidence in fantasy managers still competing for a Week 18 championship.

The Los Angeles Rams have agreed to re-sign running back Ronnie Rivers to a one-year deal. The contract amount has not been disclosed. Rivers has spent the last three seasons with LA, though he never garnered more than 32 carries despite appearing in 34 games since 2022. He's a versatile back and profiles to be a solid handcuff if ever called upon in that capacity. However, he's more of an asset on special teams for the Rams, piling up 75.7% of his 2024 snaps in that phase of the game. The 26-year-old will continue to vie for offensive snaps with backup Blake Corum behind incumbent starter Kyren Williams. Rivers can currently be ignored for fantasy purposes.
