Emanuel Wilson Could See Reduced Role
2 months agoGreen Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson was the primary backup behind Josh Jacobs during the season opener. The 25-year-old did well as he rushed for 46 yards on four yards with two receptions as well. It was a decent outing given his fairly small workload, which could be reduced even more in Week 2. Fellow back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is expected to suit up against the Indianapolis Colts this weekend. He figures to be in the mix as well behind Jacobs, which means there probably won't be much fantasy value from Wilson or Lloyd. Both backs are going to play second fiddle to Jacobs who is the workhorse back in Green Bay. The other two backs could be worth stashing in deep leagues, but they aren't worth starting right now.
