Emanuel Wilson

In Emanuel Wilson's one start this season, he had 30 touches, 125 total yards, and two scores as the RB3 for the week. Wilson played 56.1% of the snaps in that game. If Josh Jacobs is out this week, I expect him to be the team's workhorse and a plug-and-play RB2. Among 58 qualifying backs, Wilson ranks 54th in explosive run rate and 19th in yards after contact per attempt. Wilson has a nice matchup against a Bears' run defense that, since Week 11, has allowed the seventh-highest explosive run rate, the sixth-highest rushing success rate, and the second-most yards before contact per attempt.

Emanuel Wilson carried the ball 14 times for 82 yards in the Packers' 22-16 Week 16 loss to the Bears.

Fantasy Impact

Wilson took advantage of increased opportunities in place of a hobbled Josh Jacobs, rushing for more than 15 yards for the first time in his last four games. The running back could be in line for an increased workload if Jacobs remains injured ahead of a Week 17 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.
