Florida State: James Wilder Jr. Headed To NFL
Wilder announced late Wednesday that he would skip his senior season and enter the 2014 NFL Draft, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Although he had a relatively quiet performance in the Monday's BCS Championship Game, Wilder averaged seven yards per carry and totaled eight touchdowns this season while sharing tailback duties with Devonta Freeman and Karlos Williams. He's expected to be selected in the middle rounds of the draft, though some teams could dock him further down their boards after he was arrested three different times during college.

2013 Fantasy Outlook
Wilder is one of the most physical rushers out there, and that style lead to 11 touchdowns in 2012 on just 110 carries. It also led to some nagging injuries, and Wilder has had his share of off the field issues as well. Those concerns paired with the shared carries in the ‘Noles backfield will make you pause on draft day, but if Wilder can harness himself and stay on the field, he’s got some upside. FSU must replace fullback Lonnie Pryor’s eight touchdowns, and Wilder looks like the goal line back of choice heading into 2013. He’s not likely to approach 1,000 yards, but his knack for the end zone will keep his value steady.
