Who Should I Start? Emanuel Wilson or Devin Neal

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson should be a bit involved in the Packers' offense as the backup running back when Green Bay faces off against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. In Week 4, before the team's bye last week, Wilson was more involved in the offense than usual, with eight carries for 44 yards. Wilson also factored in the passing game, catching 3-of-3 targets for 37 yards. Make no mistake, Wilson is firmly behind Jacobs in the pecking order of Packers' running backs, but Wilson continues to widen the gap between himself and Chris Brooks, who is barely involved in the Packers' normal offense. Wilson would get the first crack at meaningful touches in this strong Packers' offense if Jacobs were to go down, but you're not starting Wilson in fantasy football this week against the Bengals.

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Devin Neal was inactive for the fourth straight game in Week 5 against the Giants. Neal suited up for the first time in Week 1 against the Cardinals and handled two carries for seven yards. In total, he played seven offensive snaps and four snaps on special teams. The rookie out of Kansas was able to earn two touches in his NFL debut, but has been a healthy scratch since. With the emergence of third-year back Kendre Miller and veteran Alvin Kamara holding things down, Neal has been relegated to a distant depth role.
