Currently going undrafted in many leagues, it's weird to look back to the second half of the 2022 season and realize that Jeff Wilson actually led the Dolphins in carries after Week 8. This is despite the fact that he "started" just one game over that stretch. The numbers between he and Raheem Mostert were extremely close, with Mostert averaging 10 carries per game after Week 8 and Wilson averaging 10.4 carries per game over that same stretch. However, the discrepancy would've been even higher if Wilson had not been removed early in multiple games due to various injuries.
Mostert technically "started" all but two games he played in during the 2022 season, but that seemed more ceremonial than anything as it didn't result in him being a much better fantasy player than Wilson. Still, the 31-year-old Mostert is being projected by most experts to be the better fantasy asset in this committee to start the season, compared to the 27-year-old Wilson.
What's most likely to happen is probably another ugly committee with both players seeing between eight to 13 touches per week, as long as they're healthy, and neither one really claiming a strong enough role to be reliable for fantasy purposes. Add in the fact that the team brought in another speedy young back in rookie Devon Achane and there is just a lot to be worried about.
Still, considering that he's currently the lowest-drafted back in this offense, Wilson might actually provide the best pure value if things go similarly to 2022. He's a Mostert injury away from potentially seeing 15 or more touches per week in one of the league's most high-powered offenses and that's intriguing for a player you can select late in fantasy drafts.

Jaylen Waddle, Raheem Mostert not expected to play Miami down key pieces in Week 18 By: Mike Krueger | Sun Jan 7, 12:09 am
| | #Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) and WR Jaylen Waddle (ankle) - both listed as questionable - are not expected to play Sunday night vs. the #Bills, per me and @RapSheet.
Both should be ready for the playoffs. But Miami will try to win the AFC East without them. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: The Dolphins will be short-handed when the take on the Bills Sunday night. Expect Devon Achane and Tyreek Hill to do the heavy lifting in the offense. Jeff Wilson will mix in at running back and Cedrick to see increased looks at receiver with Waddle out.
| Raheem Mostert expected to be inactive Wk17 Knee and ankle injuries By: Mike Krueger | Sun Dec 31, 12:10 am
| | #Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert, who is tied for the NFL lead with 21 TDs, is expected to be inactive Sunday against the #Ravens, sources tell me and @RapSheet.
Mostert barely practiced this week because of knee and ankle injuries. Big loss for Miami, and fantasy teams everywhere. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: This is a big loss for Miami as they’re already down Jaylen Waddle for this week’s game against the Ravens. Expect Devon Achane and Jeff Wilson to handle running back duties. Achane is the preferred play but Wilson should see plenty of action.
