Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Minimal involvement in win
Emanuel Wilson rushed three times for nine yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Seahawks.Wilson continues to play a very small role in the Green Bay Packers offense as Green Bay's No. 3 running back. The 25-year-old played just six of the Packers' 64 offensive snaps, behind starter Josh Jacobs (48) and primary backup Chris Brooks (16). Barring injuries to Jacobs and Brooks, Wilson remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Saints.

Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Opportunities remain minimal
Emanuel Wilson had one carry for seven yards in Thursday's 34-31 loss to the Lions.Wilson was the second Green Bay 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
Emanuel 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 Green Bay Packers travel to take on Detroit's tough defense in Week 14.

Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Gets extra work Sunday
Emanuel 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
Emanuel 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
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.
