2. Jamaal Williams, Detroit Lions

Jamaal Williams has been the beneficiary of a banged-up D’Andre Swift. He’s been a top-15 running back this season and has seen legitimate RB2 volume. Even with Swift playing, this coaching staff loves Williams and will continue to get him the ball.

Williams takes on the Chicago Bears, who give up almost as many rushing yards as they rush for. Williams has top-10 upside this week and is borderline no longer a sleeper. Fire him up in any league and format.

1. Jeff Wilson Jr., Miami Dolphins

The acquiring of Jeff Wilson Jr. from the 49ers was an afterthought in fantasy football, as Raheem Mostert was the clear number one. Well, Wilson ended up out-snapping and out-scoring Mostert in Week 9, and it shouldn’t have come as such a surprise as Wilson is very comfortable with the Shanahan-esque offensive scheme.

Wilson and Mostert will likely form a committee, but it’s Wilson who likely has more upside for the foreseeable future simply because of the extra explosiveness he brings to the offense. Wilson is an intriguing PPR flex in Week 10.
