Who Should I Start? Khalil Herbert or Emanuel Wilson

Tuesday, September 23, 5:37 PM

The Seattle Seahawks announced on Tuesday that they signed free-agent running back Khalil Herbert to their practice squad, according to The Seattle Times' Bob Condotta. The move comes after Zach Charbonnet (foot) missed the team's blowout win over the visiting New Orleans Saints in Week 3 on Sunday. The 27-year-old Herbert will provide additional backfield depth for Seattle if Charbonnet is forced to miss more time, starting with this Thursday night's tilt against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals. With Charb out last weekend, George Holani was the primary backup to the oft-injured Kenneth Walker III. Herbert played with the Chicago Bears and Cincinnati Bengals in 2024, finishing with only 130 rushing yards and a touchdown on 36 carries while catching 10 passes for 25 yards in 14 games. He'll only find his way onto the fantasy radar if both Walker and Charbonnet are on the shelf at the same time.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson was expected to have an elevated role as the RB2 behind starter Josh Jacobs in the Week 1 divisional clash against the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field, but he ended up with just one carry for a four-yard gain in the 27-13 victory. He was not targeted in the passing game. Meanwhile, fellow backup Chris Brooks also had one carry for one yard and caught his only target for a two-yard pickup. Jacobs dominated backfield touches for the Pack, handing 19 rushing attempts for 66 yards and a touchdown and also catching his only target for four yards. Wilson and Brooks could be more involved going forward with MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) out to begin the year, but this certainly wasn't a good sign for their involvement behind a healthy Jacobs in 2025.
