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.

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Jarquez Hunter has yet to play an offensive snap for the Rams this season, but has contributed on special teams in Weeks 3 and 4. However, with both starter Kyren Williams and No. 2 back Blake Corum losing fumbles in a Week 5 loss to the 49ers, there could potentially be an opportunity for Hunter to earn some touches on offense. The rookie out of Auburn has a great athletic and production profile and was raved about by head coach Sean McVay. Hunter is a good name to hold in dynasty leagues, but he has a tough path to relevancy in redraft leagues.
