Who Should I Start? A.J. Dillon or Emanuel Wilson

Philadelphia Eagles running back A.J. Dillon was the only other member of the Philly backfield to get any action in Week 6, carrying the ball once and grabbing two receptions in the loss. Dillon played just 14% of snaps once again, but seems to have cemented himself as the primary handcuff option for if Saquon Barkley goes down. If managers have Barkley and some extra room on the bench, Dillon isn't a bad piece to add just in case. But for now, that's his only fantasy value. He should not be in lineups for his upcoming matchup against the Vikings.

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.
