Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Tallies second touchdown
Emanuel 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 Green Bay Packers on bye Week 10.

Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Continues ceding snaps
Emanuel Wilson had four carries for five yards and two receptions for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars.Wilson's snap count has been trending down for weeks, and he did not even finish second among Green Bay Packers running backs in that department Week 8, as Chris Brooks took the field for 17 snaps while Wilson was out there for only 12. Green Bay figures to lean on top back Josh Jacobs in Week 9 before going on bye in Week 10, so those who have held onto Wilson should be evaluating other options.

Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Limited to five touches
Emanuel Wilson had five carries for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-22 victory over the Texans.Wilson had tallied at least seven touches in four straight appearances, but he finished with only five Sunday. Meanwhile, starting running back Josh Jacobs got the ball 17 times Week 7 and averaged just shy of 20 touches over the last three weeks. Wilson cut into Jacobs' workload a bit earlier in the season, but the latter is now being counted on to do what was expected when he was brought in during the offseason.

Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Makes most of opportunities
Emanuel Wilson had seven carries for 54 yards and one reception for 19 yards in Sunday's 34-13 victory over the Cardinals.Wilson played only 23 snaps Week 6, but he got the ball on a shade more than a third of them and averaged an impressive 9.6 yards per touch. Wilson is averaging 5.0 yards on 42 carries on the season, so he is making a case to hold onto the backup job when backfield mate MarShawn Lloyd (IR, ankle) returns. However, neither player will usurp the starting spot from Josh Jacobs as long as Jacobs remains upright.

Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Snap count slips
Emanuel Wilson had six carries for 24 yards and one reception for minus-nine yards in Sunday's 24-19 victory over the Rams.Wilson recorded a touch on nearly half his snaps, but he was only on the field for 15 of the 59 plays the Green Bay Packers ran on offense, with starting running back Josh Jacobs handling the other 44. Wilson came close to matching Jacobs in both snaps and touches in both Weeks 3 and 4, but Sunday's contest provided a reminder of the pecking order in Green Bay's backfield.

Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Contained by Vikings
Emanuel Wilson had eight carries for 27 yards in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Vikings.Wilson racked up 14 touches, 85 yards from scrimmage and a score in Week 3, but he did not come close to matching those numbers Sunday with the Green Bay Packers spending the bulk of the game in catch-up mode after going down 28-0 in the first half. Wilson did, however, play an expanded role for the second week in a row, and across Green Bay's last two contests he totaled 22 touches compared to 28 for starting running back Josh Jacobs. That could be enough for fantasy players to justify using a roster spot on Wilson, but Jacobs remains the primary option in the backfield for the Packers.

Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Racks up 85 yards
Emanuel Wilson rushed the ball 12 times for 50 yards in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Titans. He added two receptions on two targets for 35 yards and a touchdown.Wilson stepped into a more significant role with MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) out, and he delivered as Green Bay's most effective running back. His most impactful play came midway through the third quarter on a 31-yard screen that Wilson took to the house for the first touchdown of his career. Josh Jacobs was shut down by Tennessee to open the door for Wilson, but Wilson will remain firmly behind Jacobs on the depth chart despite the impressive performance.

Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Likely to assume No. 2 RB role
Emanuel Wilson is expected to serve as the Green Bay Packers' No. 2 running back behind Josh Jacobs beginning with Sunday's game at Tennessee after Green Bay placed MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.While Lloyd was sidelined with a hamstring injury in the Packers' Week 1 loss to the Eagles, Wilson operated as the clear No. 2 back, logging a 26 percent snap share while carrying four times for 46 yards and catching two passes for two yards. Lloyd returned for the Packers' Week 2 win over the Colts and worked ahead of Wilson, though the latter still played 18 percent of snaps and carried five times for nine yards. With Lloyd injuring his ankle in Week 2 and now set to miss at least the next four games, Wilson should reprise the role he held Week 1 as the first back off the bench behind Jacobs. The absence of Lloyd could result in a slight uptick in snaps and touches for Wilson, but Wilson is still unlikely to be a reliable fantasy option unless Jacobs is out or limited due to injury.

Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Encounters more competition
Emanuel Wilson had five carries for nine yards in Sunday's 16-10 victory over the Colts.The Green Bay Packers ran the ball a whopping 53 times Week 2, with starting running back Josh Jacobs tallying 32 of those totes. Wilson took a handful himself, but he received one fewer carry than fellow reserve MarShawn Lloyd and was the third Green Bay running back into the game. Lloyd injured his ankle Week 2 and is uncertain moving forward, but the rookie seemingly will operate as the No. 2 running back when healthy, which would leave Wilson third in line for carries.

Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Excels in backup role
Emanuel Wilson had four carries for 46 yards and two receptions for two yards in Friday's 34-29 loss to the Eagles.A hip injury left Wilson's status for Week 1 uncertain, but he suited up and filled the backup spot behind starter Josh Jacobs and ripped off several quality runs. Rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) could be back for Week 2, but he has not gotten in much work since the start of training camp, so Wilson could continue working in the No. 2 role.
