BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 3% of Yahoo Leagues
ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson went from a fantasy afterthought early in training camp to a meaningful role in the backfield. With AJ Dillon out of the year and MarShawn Lloyd on injured reserve, the young running back has earned a role behind Josh Jacobs.
Wilson had nine rushing attempts for 55 yards and 6.7 half-point PPR fantasy points over the first two weeks, averaging 6.1 yards per attempt. Last week, he had 12 rushing attempts for 50 yards and two receptions for 35 receiving yards, totaling 15.5 fantasy points. His 31-yard receiving score was the first touchdown of his career.
Keep that ball!

Fantasy players should add Wilson off the waiver wire in deeper leagues. Jacobs is still the lead running back in Green Bay, totaling two more rushing attempts in Week 3. More importantly, Wilson saw an uptick in touches, with the game being a blowout victory.
However, Wilson has shown some upside. He would be a high-valued waiver wire add if Jacobs suffers a significant injury. Therefore, fantasy players in deeper leagues should consider adding him this week.
