Who Should I Start? Emanuel Wilson or Woody Marks

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson (illness) has been added to the injury report and is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos due to an illness. With running back Josh Jacobs (knee) also questionable to play with a knee injury, Green Bay could be without its top two backs against Denver. The Packers have elevated running back Pierre Strong Jr. from their practice squad for Week 15, which could be an indication that the team expects to be without at least one of Jacobs or Wilson. If both Jacobs and Wilson are sidelined, Strong Jr. and Chris Brooks would likely handle the team's backfield work on Sunday. Fantasy managers should monitor the Green Bay backfield situation closely, as a final update on both Jacobs and Wilson may not come until closer to game time.

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks (knee) missed some practice earlier this week but does not have an injury designation and is ready to go for the Texans' Week 15 matchup against Arizona. The Cardinals have allowed 18 running back touchdowns in 13 games, including eight in the last four weeks. Marks could get more of the workload with Nick Chubb (ribs, questionable) banged up. Marks checks in as the No. 17 RB in RotoBaller's Week 15 rankings, so he's a strong RB2 play this week after setting a new career-high with 26 carries last week. He scored his fifth touchdown of the season in the Texans' win over the Chiefs, and he has a much better matchup this week, giving him a good ceiling, especially if he gets all the work in this favorable matchup. He crushed the Titans as the focal point of the offense in a similar scenario earlier this season, and he's a strong start in Week 15.
