Emanuel Wilson Fantasy

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson took 17 carries for 49 yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards during the team's 19-15 preseason victory over the Seattle Seahawks. The 24-year-old came into the game with the second-team offense after starter AJ Dillon and handled the grand majority of the team's total carries Saturday. After a 111-yard performance last week and a solid outing against Seattle, the rookie is a safe bet to enter the season as the Packers RB3. While Wilson will have little to no value in redraft leagues in 2023, he is a name to monitor in case either Dillon or Aaron Jones goes down with an injury. He is a safe dynasty stash and could have handcuff value in 2023, depending on Jones' status with the team at that point.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson took six carries for 111 yards and scored two touchdowns during the team's 36-19 preseason victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Five different running backs got the chance to touch the ball for the Packers in their preseason opener, but the undrafted rookie was the one to make the most of his touches. The most impressive was his 80-yard scamper to the end zone late in the game, where he made a defender miss and took it to the house. Wilson signed with the Broncos after going undrafted but was released just three days later. With an extremely shallow depth chart behind starters Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, the 24-year-old has a shot at making the team as a depth option if he continues to show off explosiveness like this. We will see if Wilson finds his way onto the field more next week against the New England Patriots.
