Emanuel Wilson's Short-Term Value Slipping Away

Wednesday, August 26, 8:16 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson has flashed some upside in the past, but he may have trouble carving out a consistent role early in the 2026 season. Initially, it seemed like Wilson might step in as an every-down back ahead of both Zach Charbonnet (knee) and Jadarian Prince, but the fact that he hasn't touched the ball in either preseason game should be concerning. Prince now seems like the favorite to lead Seattle's backfield, winning the job over Wilson, George Holani, and Jelus Jones Jr. In particular, Wilson is no longer the ideal Green Bay running back to roster in redraft or dynasty leagues. RotoBaller's latest fantasy football draft rankings have Wilson ranked #73 overall, which makes him more of a name to monitor in a month or two when starters are beginning to get banged up.

Nathan Carter Racks Up 17 Carries in Bid for No. 3 RB Role

Sunday, August 23, 7:09 AM

Atlanta Falcons running back Nathan Carter earned the bulk of the backfield load in Saturday's 34-6 win over the Colts, playing the entire game and rushing 17 times for 42 yards. The second-year back also scored one of the team's four touchdowns, finding the end zone from one yard out early in the second quarter. Carter served as the team's No. 3 back last season, tallying just nine carries for 60 scoreless yards, and is in position to operate in that role again this year. There is some competition from offseason signee Tyler Goodson, who also scored on a 49-yard run in Saturday's contest, but neither back figures to be fantasy relevant unless either Bijan Robinson or Brian Robinson were to go down with injury, so Carter should remain off the radar in fantasy drafts.
