Emanuel Wilson Fantasy Stats

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson was limited to four carries on Thursday and was reverted to his regular backup role with Josh Jacobs (knee) returning to the starting lineup after missing Week 12 with his injury. Wilson was expected to be a bit more involved given his production in Week 12, but at the end of the day, Jacobs dominated the carries, seeing 17 to Wilson's four. Meanwhile, neither were involved much in the passing game, with Jacobs hauling in just one reception to Wilson's zero. With Jacobs back in his starting role, Wilson is not providing much fantasy value to managers besides a handcuff to Jacobs. Fantasy managers with Jacobs on their team, it may be wise to roster him as a security blanket; however, if you are rostering Wilson without Jacobs, it may be time to say thank you for your Week 12 services and move on to help your team make a fantasy playoff run.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson had an awesome game in Week 12, but will cede the starting running back duties back to Josh Jacobs when the Packers match up with the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. Wilson took 28 carries and turned that into 107 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while catching both of his targets for 18 yards. It was a great performance, but with Jacobs off the injury report after three limited practice sessions, Wilson's role will be greatly diminished from last week. While Wilson could see some more opportunities working in tandem with Jacobs, it's not likely to be anything substantial. When the Packers face the Lions in Week 13's Thanksgiving showdown, Wilson is more of an RB4 option than should be left on benches in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers third-year running back Emanuel Wilson had a career day on Sunday against the Vikings, rushing for a career-high 107 yards on 28 carries and punching in two touchdowns. Both of his rushing touchdowns were from one yard out. He chipped in another 18 yards on two receptions through the air as well, good for 25.5 fantasy points in half PPR formats. Wilson stepped in on Sunday for an injured Josh Jacobs (knee) and delivered an excellent performance for his fantasy managers who have been proactively stashing him or got him through waivers last week. Wilson will continue to have plug-and-play RB2 value as long as Jacobs remains sidelined; however, if Jacobs returns, Wilson will likely stay involved but will be hard to trust in starting lineups given the volume he would be expected to handle. At this time, Wilson should not be on waivers in most 10-team or larger formats.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson had 28 carries for 107 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Minnesota Vikings. He also caught each of his two targets for an additional 18 receiving yards. Wilson was very impressive was handling a large workload on Sunday. With Josh Jacobs (knee) sidelined, he accounted for 78% of the backfield's rushing attempts. The 26-year-old's ability to be efficient while handling heavy volume should earn him more opportunities going forward, even if Jacobs returns to action next week. The Packers face the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, giving Jacobs four days to recover. If the veteran back suits up, Wilson could still carve out standalone value as an RB3/flex. If Jacobs misses a second consecutive game, though, the Fort Valley State product could jump to the high-end RB2 tier against Detroit.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson is expected to start Sunday's Week 12 game against the Minnesota Vikings after Josh Jacobs (knee) was ruled out for the contest. Jacobs was a game-time decision coming into this weekend, and the Packers ultimately decided to hold him out. Wilson will remain the Packers' primary running back, which is the role he occupied after Jacobs departed last Sunday's game early in the second quarter. The 26-year-old finished that game with 11 carries, 40 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown, plus a nine-yard reception. The trip to the end zone salvaged his fantasy performance, and he'll look to contribute even more this Sunday with greater volume, more passing-down work, and perhaps more goal-line opportunities. He ranks as a fringe top-24 fantasy running back against a Vikings defense that has allowed the 10th-most rushing yards to running backs in 2025, but the 11th-fewest fantasy points to the position.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson could see more work than he typically does with the Packers hosting the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12. With Josh Jacobs (knee) leaving Week 11's game due to the injury, Wilson saw an uptick in work and production. With 12 touches for 49 yards, Wilson saw his second-highest opportunities of the season and his most involvement on the field with a season-high 71 percent of snaps. Minnesota is an above-average defense when it comes to stopping opposing running backs, as they've allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Wilson's fantasy viability comes down to Jacobs' availability on Sunday. If Jacobs, who is questionable on the injury report heading into Week 12, were unable to suit up, Wilson would be a high-end RB3 for fantasy managers. If Jacobs returns, Wilson should be left on the bench for fantasy.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson was one of Week 12's hottest waiver wire pickups. Reason being, he is slated to step in as the team's RB1 with Josh Jacobs (knee) listed as questionable on Sunday against division rival, the Minnesota Vikings. Injured Reserve is not a consideration for Jacobs, and there have been reports suggesting that the 27-year-old is week-to-week as well. If Jacobs does miss, Wilson will become a plug-and-play RB2 for this Sunday against a middle-of-the-road Vikings run defense. If Jacob's does play, he will likely be limited, or at least Wilson should remain involved, giving him RB3 consideration. For those fantasy managers who swooped him off the waivers, it will be beneficial to keep tabs on Jacobs' practice logs this week, start Wilson if Jacobs is ruled out, or potentially look to sell-high and trade Wilson to Jacobs' fantasy owners if your trade deadline hasn't passed.

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.
