Who Should I Start? Emanuel Wilson or Braelon Allen

Saturday, November 8, 5:12 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has seen his involvement in the Packers' offense rise in recent weeks, but he is still a depth piece when the Packers host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. Wilson has averaged over seven carries per game in the last three weeks, helping manage Josh Jacobs' workload as he plays through a calf injury that's had him on the injury report over the last several weeks. With that involvement, Wilson's role is clear as a fantasy handcuff in case Jacobs can't suit up for a game. On Monday Night Football in Week 10, Wilson is merely a bench stash and not a startable option for Green Bay's showdown with the Eagles.

According to head coach Aaron Glenn, New York Jets running back Braelon Allen (knee) could miss 8-12 weeks with the MCL sprain he suffered in Week 4's loss to the Miami Dolphins. Reports were that Allen would miss more than the minimum number of required games, but it now appears he'll be out until at least December, with surgery still an option. In the 21-year-old's absence, teammate Isaiah Davis will take over the Jets' RB2 duties behind starter Breece Hall, and the newly-acquired Khalil Herbert will handle the RB3 role with Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) still tending to injury. Fantasy managers can safely drop Allen in all redraft formats as the likelihood of him making an impact to close out the 2025 season remains low.
