Should I Start Emanuel Wilson?

Emanuel Wilson "Shouldn't be Out Long"

Friday, August 1, 10:22 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson (knee) left practice on Friday. Fortunately, it appears Wilson will be fine, with Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated reporting that there was "no damage" to the knee while adding that the 26-year-old "shouldn't be out long." It's certainly good news, considering MarShawn Lloyd (groin) hasn't been practicing. Wilson had an improved sophomore year in 2024, amassing 103 carries for 502 yards while totaling five touchdowns. Although Josh Jacobs is the clear No. 1 option in Green Bay, Wilson has a chance to remain involved as his backup. While that won't make him a viable fantasy option, he's worth selecting late in fantasy drafts for insurance purposes in case Jacobs goes down with an injury at some point during the season.
