Emanuel Wilson's Dynasty Value Fading After Seahawks' Draft Addition

Tuesday, April 28, 8:19 AM

After spending the first three seasons of his career with the Green Bay Packers, running back Emanuel Wilson landed a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks earlier this offseason. Wilson flashed some upside in a backup role behind star back Josh Jacobs in Green Bay, recording 1,145 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns on 254 touches over the past two seasons. With Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) working his way back from the torn ACL that ended his 2025 season in January, Wilson looked to have a golden opportunity to begin 2026. However, Seattle added Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price with its first-round pick in the 2026 Draft. As a result, Wilson now looks to be limited to the RB3 role with the Seahawks once Charbonnet makes it back from injury. Wilson might still have some deep-league appeal as a handcuff option, but his dynasty value has taken a big hit after Seattle's addition of Price.

Will Shipley News

Will Shipley Falls to RB3 on Depth Chart

Friday, November 21, 11:34 PM

Philadelphia Eagles Will Shipley has been relegated mostly to special teams touches and the occasional carry behind Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby as the team's RB3. The Eagles acquired Bigsby ahead of Week 7, and he's mostly served as the primary backup to Barkley. Since then, Bigsby and Shipley have each played 14.5% of the offensive snaps, but Bigsby has 17 carries to Shipley's seven during that span. The 2024 fourth-round pick entered the season as the No. 2 back for the Eagles, then missed Weeks 2 and 3 due to a rib injury, and has now fallen out of favor with the team, going out and trading for another back to have another capable option behind Barkley. Shipley still has some appeal as a handcuff if Barkley were to go down, but it would likely be a timeshare with Bigsby.
