Who Should I Start? Emanuel Wilson or Trevor Etienne

Saturday, August 16, 10:05 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson was a distant third in the running back pecking order as Green Bay squeezed by the Indianapolis Colts 23-19 in the Packers' second preseason contest. Wilson got his first touch early in the second quarter when MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks were done for the day, and received his final snaps at the end of the first half. Totaling 65 total yards on five carries and one catch on two targets, Wilson led the Packers' skill-position players in total yards. Despite that, it seems like Wilson might be the odd man out in the running back room after the second preseason game. With Wilson seemingly fourth among running backs in Green Bay, he shouldn't be drafted in any fantasy leagues going forward.

Fourth-round rookie running back Trevor Etienne officially signed his rookie deal with the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday, according to NFL.com. The former Florida Gator and Georgia Bulldog is the brother of Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne. He racked up 2,081 yards and 23 touchdowns on the ground and 432 yards and one score as a receiver in 34 collegiate games. Etienne will have a chance to compete for touches with veterans Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle in a backfield that could shake out to be a pure committee. He could be on the fantasy radar in deep leagues, but he will likely go undrafted in most standard-sized 12-team setups. With Jonathon Brooks (knee) out for the season, Etienne should be monitored as a rookie as a potential late-season waiver-wire add.
