Who Should I Start? Jeffery Wilson or Chase Brown

Sunday, October 20, 12:09 PM

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. He is the odd man out as the Dolphins enter Week 7 with a backfield featuring De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert, and Jaylen Wright. Wilson will continue to be inactive as long as those three are healthy. He should be dropped in most fantasy leagues.

Bengals beat writer Geoff Hobson gets the sense that the Cincinnati Bengals are looking to go bigger for a complement to lead back Chase Brown this offseason with Zack Moss' (neck) status unclear. Brown played big as a three-down back in 2024 after Moss' injury and racked up an impressive 1,350 scrimmage yards on 283 touches while also protecting quarterback Joe Burrow, but offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher wouldn't mind another big and physical back to help Brown out. "The easy answer is Chase isn't the biggest guy, so maybe if you have an opportunity to add a bigger back with a little more power repertoire to his game, that size helps you in protection," Pitcher said. The 24-year-old Brown finished as the RB12 in half-PPR scoring in 2024 thanks to his workhorse role, and although he should remain the lead back in a high-scoring offense, fantasy managers should expect some regression.
