Who Should I Start? Tyler Goodson or Emanuel Wilson

Friday, October 3, 7:42 PM

Indianapolis Colts running back Tyler Goodson (groin) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders at Lucas Oil Stadium after missing practice all week, according to Amanda Foster of Colts.com. Goodson suffered the injury in the Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday. The 24-year-old second-year back has only been active for two games in four weeks for Indy due to injuries, and he only has two carries for six yards on the season as backfield depth for the Colts. Goodson has no business being rostered in the vast majority of fantasy leagues right now. With him missing yet another game, rookie DJ Giddens should serve as the backup for workhorse Jonathan Taylor against the Raiders, with Ameer Abdullah and Ulysses Bentley serving as additional depth.

Across 14 games this season, Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has recorded 441 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 103 touches. The 26-year-old is the primary RB2 in Green Bay behind star Packers running back Josh Jacobs. Wilson has logged just 27 yards from scrimmage on nine touches over the last three weeks, demonstrating his limited standalone fantasy value. However, Jacobs has been on the injury report for several weeks due to a lingering knee issue, and Wilson would be in a position to boost his production if Jacobs were to miss time. In the one game Jacobs has already missed this season, Wilson recorded 28 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns against the Minnesota Vikings. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams where he remains available, Wilson could be a player worth targeting on the waiver wire in case Jacobs suffers an injury.
