• Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Opportunities remain minimal

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Wilson had one carry for seven yards in Thursday's 34-31 loss to the Lions. Wilson was the second Packers running back to get the ball in Thursday's contest, but both he and Chris Brooks were used sparingly with Josh Jacobs dominating the work out of the backfield. Wilson and Brooks are both handling a similar workload, but Wilson's snaps have paled in comparison to his counterpart's in recent weeks, and Brooks has spent more time on the field in six straight games.

• Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Held to two touches Thursday

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Wilson took two carries for 20 yards during Thursday's 30-17 win versus the Dolphins. Wilson only played four offensive snaps in Week 13, as he appears to have been overtaken by Chris Brooks for the role of second fiddle to Josh Jacobs in recent weeks. Things won't get any easier for Wilson when the Packers travel to take on Detroit's tough defense in Week 14.

• Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Gets extra work Sunday

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Wilson rushed nine times for 41 yards in Sunday's 38-10 rout of the 49ers. Starter Josh Jacobs was the star of Sunday's win by eclipsing 100 rushing yards while scoring three touchdowns. He did leave the game briefly in the second half due to cramping, opening the door for Wilson to get a handful of extra touches he might not have otherwise. Even with a short week approaching, Jacobs figures to be fine for Thursday's tilt against the Dolphins, which would leave Wilson in another low-usage situation on Thanksgiving.

• Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Limited to three snaps

  23D ago • By RotoWire

  Wilson had two carries for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Bears. Wilson was the second Green Bay running back to enter Sunday's contest and the only one besides Josh Jacobs to record a carry, but he played only three snaps while Jacobs got 37 and Chris Brooks recorded 10 of his own. It's still a toss-up when determining who the top option behind Jacobs is, as the snap counts suggest Brooks but the overall body of work leans toward Wilson. What is certain is it's one or the other, as MarShawn Lloyd (ankle/hamstring/appendix) will miss at least a couple more weeks.

• Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Tallies second touchdown

  11/04/2024 • By RotoWire

  Wilson had four carries for 28 yards and a touchdown and one reception for one yard in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions. Wilson bounced back from a couple quiet weeks by finding the end zone for the first time since Week 3. The touchdown stands out, but Wilson worked behind both starter Josh Jacobs and fellow reserve Chris Brooks, and the bulk of his touches came with Green Bay in catch-up mode during the second half. Wilson has been productive this season when given the opportunity, but with Brooks perhaps even surpassing him and the possibility that MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) could rejoin Green Bay's backfield, it could be tough to justify holding onto Wilson with the Packers on bye Week 10.
