Emanuel Wilson Getting First-Team Reps in Warmups

Sunday, October 4, 12:08 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson appears set to get the start Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. Corbin K. Smith reported that Wilson took the first running back reps during pregame warmups with Jadarian Price (chest) on injured reserve. Wilson has 32 carries for 109 yards through three games, with most of that production coming in a 21-carry, 92-yard performance against Arizona in Week 2. George Holani is also available and figures to see work, but Wilson getting the first reps before kickoff points to him opening the game atop the backfield.

Braelon Allen Steps Into a Bigger Week 4 Role

Saturday, October 3, 7:27 AM

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen gets his first real chance to lead the backfield Sunday with Breece Hall (quad) ruled out. Allen has only 61 rushing yards and a touchdown on 19 carries through three games, but those numbers came while working behind Hall. The opportunity changes this week. Allen took the majority of the practice reps, while Isaiah Davis is also expected to see more work, so this shouldn't automatically be treated as a one-back setup. Still, Chicago has allowed 351 rushing yards and 5.1 yards per carry, which is a much friendlier spot than Allen could have asked for. RotoBaller has him at RB22 in its Saturday rankings. The committee risk is real, but Allen has enough projected work to be used as an RB2 or flex.
