Who Should I Start? Jeffery Wilson or D'Andre Swift

Thursday, August 31, 9:19 PM

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (finger, rib) was placed on the injured reserve on Thursday. The 27-year-old is dealing with multiple injuries that are going to force him to miss the first four weeks of the regular season. However, Wilson's agent expects Wilson to return ahead of the Week 5 matchup against the New York Giants. That is great news considering the team didn't offer much of a timetable for Wilson's return. The Dolphins might only be without Wilson for four games, which isn't too bad. In his absence, Raheem Mostert and rookie De'Von Achane (shoulder) are expected to have bigger roles in the offense.

Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift took 14 carries for 56 yards and a touchdown, adding four receptions on as many targets for 23 yards during the team's 34-31 overtime victory over the Washington Commanders. The 24-year-old returned to earth after averaging 6.9 yards per carry and gaining over 125 yards on the ground the past two weeks, but he found the end zone and gave fantasy managers another solid performance. Swift against out-touched teammate Kenneth Gainwell 18 to six, cementing his status as the clear top back in Philadelphia. Next week's matchup against the Los Angeles Rams is no walk in the park, but the former Detroit Lion will be a solid RB2 in Week 5.
