Who Should I Start? Emanuel Wilson or Isaiah Davis

Saturday, August 23, 8:06 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson led the Packers in rushing yards in their final preseason game, a 20-7 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson came into the game after Chris Brooks left in the middle of the Packers' second drive. Playing primarily at the end of the first quarter and almost halfway into the second quarter. Leading the team in rushing yards with 38 and tying for the most carries (8) on the day, Wilson is third in the pecking order for running back touches behind Josh Jacobs and Brooks. Wilson is very likely to break camp with the Packers if MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) isn't healthy, but Wilson shouldn't be drafted in fantasy leagues unless more injuries strike the running back room in Green Bay.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis (ankle) is on track to be available for Week 1 of the regular season on Sunday, Sept. 7, against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. Davis carried the ball six times for 14 yards in the preseason opener but then sat out of the final two preseason contests due to an ankle injury. The 23-year-old should go undrafted in standard 12-team fantasy leagues, as he's expected to open the 2025 campaign as the No. 3 back behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen. After he was taken with the 173rd overall pick in th fifth round in 2024 out of South Dakota State, Davis carried the ball 30 times for 174 yards (5.8 yards per tote) and one touchdown while catching nine passes for 75 yards and another score in 17 games in his rookie season. His physical running style should play well in this offense, but Davis likely needs an injury to Hall or Allen to become relevant.
