Starting him (for now) over Pollard, Gaskin, Ahmed, Cook, McKissic.In championship week, who are you starting instead of Wilson or starting him over? Tough calls for me with Wilson on both of my teams and McKissic, Drake, Henderson, and J. Taylor (vs Pit Def without top three offensive tackles).
Jeff Wilson rushed for a hundred yards and three touchdown vs. the New England Patriots before getting injured at the beginning of the fourth. That's a big game.Starting him (for now) over Pollard, Gaskin, Ahmed, Cook, McKissic.
Deciding now (while Brady and Fournette are killing me in a half of a game) if others have more upside/risk reward as I need a big game. Not sure as Wilson has had a huge game this year and has as big of an upside as the others (Pollard may be the only one Id consider but that basically hinges on Zele being unable to go or do much early)
My wording was bad...i was meaning not sure what I would do as Wilson did have that big game. Which is why I think Im just sticking with him.Jeff Wilson rushed for a hundred yards and three touchdown vs. the New England Patriots before getting injured at the beginning of the fourth.

Oh, okay. I don't know what advice to give you then. He'll probably be the workhorse due to a lack of any competition for them, but I could see McKinnon getting reps.My wording was bad...i was meaning not sure what I would do as Wilson did have that big game.

Been thinking that all weekWe’re gonna get Shanahanned by Coleman.
If you get Shanahanned by a guy with 9.9 total FP on the year, by God, will that ever take the cake for Shanhanigans. Aside from that time Mike just yanked Hightower from the game in the first quarter after like four carries and inserted Ryan Torain for a buck thirty and a couple of TDs back when he was the WFT coach.We’re gonna get Shanahanned by Coleman.
49ers re-signed RB Jeff Wilson to a one-year contract.
Wilson is coming off a 600-yard, six-touchdown rushing season as a rotational back in coach Kyle Shanahan's offense. He entered the season as a backup but started games with Raheem Mostert dealing with lingering injuries. Both Mostert and Wilson are signed through the 2021 season, making this a competition to track during the offseason. It's unclear what the 49ers will do on third downs with both Tevin Coleman and Jerick McKinnon set to be unrestricted free agents. There's a ceiling to chase in this balanced offense.

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports 49ers RB Jeff Wilson suffered a torn meniscus and is expected to miss the start of the regular season.
Garafolo added that Wilson underwent surgery to repair his meniscus and is expected to be out four to six months. Wilson sporadically served as San Francisco's goal line back and even made three starts last year. He re-signed with San Francisco on a one-year deal this offseason but the 49ers then took two running backs in the draft. Wilson was going to be competing with Elijah Mitchell and Wayne Gallman for a roster spot. Mitchell, a sixth-round pick from Louisiana-Lafayette, is now a name to watch in training camp. Trey Sermon and Raheem Mostert will split most of the backfield work to start the year.

Kyle Shanahan said he is hoping for RB Jeff Wilson (meniscus surgery) to return in November but noted it could be slightly earlier or later than that.
Wilson suffered a torn meniscus in May and is currently recovering from the subsequent surgery. Any additional running back help would be welcomed by the 49ers. Raheem Mostert is now done for the year after injuring his knee and Trey Sermon was a healthy scratch in Week 1. Wilson earned three starts in 2020 and averaged 21.7 touches per game in those contests. Despite opening the year buried on San Francisco's depth chart, Wilson totaled 600 rushing yards and seven scores last year due to the myriad of injuries the 49ers suffered. Once healthy, he could return to a meaningful role in Shanahan's running back rotation if Elijah Mitchell and Sermon aren't getting the job done.

He has looked good at times but he also seems like a guy who has trouble staying healthy.Outside of forums like these, I haven't seen the mass fantasy sites pick up on Wilson in any articles...
...until today on CBS.
Wasn't going to bite yet minus an IR slot, but now thinking even the nitwits could catch on by later this evening before waivers runtonight.
Holding Wilson can't be any worse than holding my R. Jones.

FairYeah...along with every other SF RB apparently. He'll fit right in.

This week on @KNBR, I stated, "I’m not sure they expect to see Jeff Wilson back.” I noted the #49ers, at first, hoped for a midseason return. Then, the timeframe got pushed back to late-November. I said, “That doesn’t leave you much wiggle room.”

One day later, when @Adamcopes asked about Jeff Wilson, GM John Lynch expressed a lot of optimism. “It’s not in the next couple weeks, but kind of beyond that … He’s doing really well. He’s had some real positive breakthroughs in the last couple of weeks in his recovery.”

Jeff Wilson (knee, I.R.) will resume practicing this week.
The 49ers will open Wilson's 21-day window to bring him back from I.R. It's unclear if that will be Week 9 against the Cardinals, but his return is nearing with Elijah Mitchell (ribs) nursing a new injury. The 49ers are getting close to 100% in the backfield with Wilson closing in and Mitchell, Trey Sermon, and JaMycal Hasty all playing.

Pretty much what I was thinking. But he is a decent lottery RB to hold. Could have value if Mitchell goes down.Mitchell is the clear starter at this point, depth for the Niners, nothing else.

I'm not sure. He isn't a primary back (wilson that is). If mitchell goes down i think you have a 3 way with wilson, hasty and sermon
At this point they are just going to reward mitchell for running hard and playing well
"That's what she said"
OK, sorry... it's out of my system now
No question I'm going after him. Too many fond memories of him playing an integral part in one of my recent runs.
If healthy, Shanahan knows what's he's got here. All it takes is a E. Mitchell injury (which he has currently) and who knows.
This offense may have its best days ahead as well. Kittle coming back, maybe B. Aiyuk wakes up, Jimmy G. gaining confidence, Deebo an emerging stud. The SF offense we thought would be there day 1 finally emerges and Wilson could have serious upside if he's part of it.
I want him at the end of my bench. And I don't have an IR spot.
It's not a bad idea for depth but he is just that depth. He has always been the last rb standing with sf. If anyone else is healthy they get the carries.
I'm a big fan of maxing out my RB slots. In one league I can max out at 8. Four of those slots are legitimately filled by only 4 flex and above RBs due to injuries. The rest...I'm packing with lottery tickets. That's 4 tickets. Usually one hits and that may be all you need.
Would rather pick up a J. Wilson vs. some wack a mole WR (like all the DET WRs that are recommended week after week). Keep WRs light, RBs heavy. The predictability of RB performance is superior to that of WRs.
Still don't trust Mitchell. Some of you should go look at some of the games Wilson has in the past. Week 16 and 17 last year alone are worth nothing.
