Who Should I Start? Alexander Mattison or Emanuel Wilson

Miami Dolphins running back Alexander Mattison (neck) was officially placed on injured reserve on Monday. Mattison injured his neck during a preseason game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday and later went for surgery. It was announced on Monday that he would miss the remainder of the year, with the team placing him on IR just as a procedural move to clear roster space. Mattison's absence will open up reps for second-year running back Jaylen Wright and rookie Ollie Gordon II behind starter De'Von Achane.

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.
