Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson stepped into a lead role in the second half on Sunday in the Packers' 27-20 victory over the New York Giants because Josh Jacobs (knee) was injured and did not return in the second half of the game. Reports have suggested that Jacobs' knee injury is not "season-ending." However, he is expected to get additional testing done on Monday, and it appears likely that Wilson will be in line for RB1 duties in this offense, making him a clear, top-25 running back in fantasy football while Jacobs is out. MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is also injured, and Wilson is a must-add in all formats, and could be a plug-and-play option for your team as an RB2 or flex spot heading into Week 12 against the Minnesota Vikings. Even with Jacobs healthy in 2025, Wilson has 53 rush attempts and 220 rushing yards on the season, and has been playing roughly 24% of the snaps, so he does have some exposure.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson remains a non-factor in fantasy football as long as starter Josh Jacobs is healthy. Wilson has played in all nine games this season, and his snap share peaked at 42 percent when Jacobs was playing through an injury. That ratio dropped to 21 percent last week, and he logged just one carry and one reception along the way. In addition to having a small workload, Wilson has been inefficient lately, averaging just 2.1 yards per touch over his last two games. The 26-year-old should be avoided in all formats ahead of Week 11 against the New York Giants. He's nothing more than a handcuff, and if Jacobs were to get hurt, we'd expect to see some sort of committee showcasing a combination of Wilson, Chris Brooks, and MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring).

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has maintained a solid on-field role, but is just depth at the position when the Packers head to MetLife Stadium to play the New York Giants. While Wilson has seen his snap shares hover around the 32-percent mark in the previous three weeks leading up to Week 10, those snaps dropped to 20 percent against the Eagles on Monday Night Football. The Packers gave Josh Jacobs the bulk of the work on the ground, leaving Wilson to touch the ball just twice for four yards on a target and carry. Jacobs had been a regular sight on the Packers' injury report over the past few weeks, but was not on the report leading up to this week's game against the Giants. Wilson is merely a handcuff for Jacobs in the event he misses a game, but otherwise, leave Wilson on the waiver wire in Week 11.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has seen his involvement in the Packers' offense rise in recent weeks, but he is still a depth piece when the Packers host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. Wilson has averaged over seven carries per game in the last three weeks, helping manage Josh Jacobs' workload as he plays through a calf injury that's had him on the injury report over the last several weeks. With that involvement, Wilson's role is clear as a fantasy handcuff in case Jacobs can't suit up for a game. On Monday Night Football in Week 10, Wilson is merely a bench stash and not a startable option for Green Bay's showdown with the Eagles.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson rushed six times for 16 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers. He gained an additional yard on 1-of-2 receiving. The third-year pro was coming off a season-high in touches (14) and yards (87), but saw his work decline back to baseline while also ceding snaps to backfield mate Chris Brooks. Coincidentally, the latter didn't see a carry, although he was more effective on his two targets (2/24), and played on double-digit snaps for the second time in 2025. Wilson figures to retain his role as the handcuff to own in Green Bay. However, Sunday was a stark reminder that, when he's fully healthy, this is the Josh Jacobs show. There's room for Wilson's role to expand, considering Jacobs has been under 60% of snaps in three straight contests. Still, he won't provide much standalone value unless the veteran's calf issue lingers.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson could see a bigger role in the backfield going forward. Last week, Wilson rushed 11 times for 61 yards, while hauling in three receptions for 26 yards in the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He remains the primary backup to Josh Jacobs, but outings like this will help him get more carries in the backfield. Jacobs has been cleared to play against the Carolina Panthers this weekend. However, Jacobs has been dealing with a lingering calf issue, so the Packers might elect to give Wilson more carries again. Sadly, his ceiling is limited as the backup to Jacobs, but he's worth keeping an eye on. The 26-year-old could be worth a stash in deep leagues, but isn't a recommended starting option for Week 9.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has seen his workload expand in the last few weeks, and he looks to contribute to the cause in Green Bay's Week 9 game at home against the Carolina Panthers. With Josh Jacobs (calf) banged up and a mainstay on the injury report despite playing in every game, Wilson saw season-highs in snaps (27) and yards from scrimmage (87) in last week's game against the Steelers. Totaling 61 yards on the ground and 26 receiving yards on three receptions, Wilson has been solidly productive in limited work. That said, as long as Jacobs is active, he will be the featured runner for the Packers. As a pure handcuff to Jacobs in case he's out for any length of time, Wilson shouldn't be rostered in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues, and that remains true for Week 9's game against the Panthers.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson saw his largest workload of the season in his team's Week 8 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, recording 87 scrimmage yards on 14 touches. Wilson has been efficient when he's had the ball in his hands this year, averaging 5.1 yards per touch on 43 touches across seven games played. The Packers have a workhorse running back ahead of Wilson on the depth chart in Josh Jacobs. However, Jacobs has been playing through a calf injury and has failed to crack 16 touches in either of his last two games after recording at least 20 touches in each of his first five. Wilson is still the clear RB2 in Green Bay as long as Jacobs is active, but there could be an opportunity for more consistent backfield snaps while the team manages Jacobs' workload.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson was able to break out with a solid performance on the ground during Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Wilson saw a season-high 11 carries for 61 yards on the ground. He also hauled in three of his four targets for 26 additional yards through the air. Lead back Josh Jacobs struggled on the ground, which gave Wilson additional carries. The 26-year-old made the most of his chances, but is unlikely going to take away a ton of carries from Jacobs. Wilson shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a desperation play for Week 9.
