Joe Mixon ended up not signing in Seattle, and Zach Charbonnet (knee) isn't going to play in Week 5. It will be Wilson's backfield again, and he was awesome in Week 4 against the Chargers with 21 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown and three catches for 39 yards and a touchdown on four targets for 27 PPR points. He now has 10 games in his career with double digits in carries, and he has scored at least 11.7 PPR points in seven of those outings. The 49ers are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and a running back has scored at least 12.3 PPR points in every game this season.

Seahawks' Emanuel Wilson: Week 5 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
There's a lot going on with Seattle's backfield heading into Week 5 against San Francisco. Wilson just had a career game in Week 4 against the Chargers with 21 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown and three catches for 39 yards and a touchdown on four targets for 27 PPR points. Zach Charbonnet (knee) is close to a return, although it won't happen against the 49ers. And first-round rookie Jadarian Price (chest) was placed on injured reserve prior to Week 4. Long-term, this could be messy, especially once Charbonnet and Price are healthy. For Week 5, Wilson should be considered a must-start Fantasy option in all leagues, and he's worth adding for at least 20 percent of your remaining FAAB. Wilson could eventually tumble down the depth chart when everyone is healthy, but he could also be a league-winner if he remains in the lead role for the Seahawks. Let's hope for another big game in Week 5.

Seahawks' Emanuel Wilson: Turns in 120 total yards
Rotowire
Wilson racked up 21 carries for 81 yards and one touchdown and added three catches (on four targets) for 39 yards and another TD during Sunday's 30-23 win versus the Chargers.
In the wake of Jadarian Price's placement on injured reserve due to a chest issue, Wilson got the first chance to pace the Seahawks backfield, and he parlayed the second-highest touch count of his career into his second ever outing with 100-plus yards from scrimmage and his second two-TD performance. Meanwhile, fellow RB George Holani himself received eight touches, which he turned into 20 total yards. Until Zach Charbonnet (knee, reserve/PUP list) is able to return to action, Wilson figures to be Seattle's lead runner.

Seahawks' Emanuel Wilson: Sleeper RBs
Rotowire
Jadarian Price (chest) is out for Week 4 against the Chargers, which means Wilson should start for Seattle. He's worth using as a flex option in all leagues. Price injured his chest in Week 2 at Arizona, and Wilson finished the game with 21 carries for 92 yards and no catches on one target. He's not going to have a big role in the passing game, and he should share touches with George Holani. But Wilson should get the majority of work, and the Chargers have allowed all three starting running backs they've faced (Jeremiyah Love, Ashton Jeanty and James Cook) to score at least 10.3 PPR points. Wilson has nine games in his career with double digits in carries, and he has scored at least 11.7 PPR points in six of those outings.

Seahawks' Emanuel Wilson: In line for more work against Chargers
Rotowire
With Jadarian Price (chest) out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Wilson is expected to take on an expanded role out of the backfield, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Wilson actually leads the Seahawks in carries (32) this season, but he's been splitting work with Price (28 carries) and George Holani (15) in what has been a three-man weave out of the backfield. Wilson is averaging just 3.4 yards per carry but could flirt with 20 rushing attempts Sunday, putting him very much in the fantasy RB2/3 mix.

Seahawks' Emanuel Wilson: Struggles as rusher vs. Washington
Rotowire
Wilson turned nine carries into 14 yards during the Seahawks' 33-31 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.
Wilson saw his role expand during the Seahawks' Week 2 win over the Cardinals after Jadarian Price left the game due to a chest injury, with the former finishing with 21 carries for 92 yards. Wilson returned to a rotational role with George Holani for Week 3 after Price was cleared to play, though Wilson actually led the backfield trio with nine carries, though six of those touches went for three yards or less. Wilson has 32 carries for 109 yards (3.4 YPC) through the first three games of the regular season, though it looks like the Seahawks may be shifting to a committee approach to the backfield instead of Price being the lead back. The Seahawks head back home for a Week 4 tilt against the Chargers this Sunday.

Seahawks' Emanuel Wilson: Remaining as RB2 for Week 3
Rotowire
Wilson will be the Seahawks' RB2 for Sunday's game against the Commanders after Jadarian Price (chest) was cleared to play, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Wilson ended up logging 21 carries for 92 yards during the Seahawks' Week 2 win over the Cardinals, with most of those touches coming after Price left the game in the fourth quarter due to a chest injury. Price has been cleared to play against Washington, so Wilson and George Holani will provide backfield depth for Sunday's road tilt.

Seahawks' Emanuel Wilson: Week 3 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
It appears like Jadarian Price (shoulder) will be OK for Week 3 at Washington, but Wilson is worth adding in all leagues for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAAB just in case Price is out. Wilson had 21 carries for 92 yards and no catches on one target in Week 2 at Arizona, and he would be at least a flex if he starts in place of Price against the Commanders.

Seahawks' Emanuel Wilson: Notches 21 carries in victory
Rotowire
Wilson rushed 21 times for 92 yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 31-7 win over Arizona.
Wilson stepped into a larger workload Week 2, partially due to rookie running back Jadarian Price exiting the game with a chest injury in the fourth quarter. The 92 rushing yards were Wilson's highest total since he notched 107 yards and two scores on 28 totes in Week 12 of the 2025 campaign while with the Packers. Wilson could handle the lion's share of touches in the backfield against the Commanders in Week 3 if Price is forced to miss the contest.

Seahawks' Emanuel Wilson: Two touches in Seahawks debut
Rotowire
Wilson rushed twice for three yards and wasn't targeted in Wednesday's 13-10 win over the Patriots.
Wilson worked as a distant third option in Seattle's backfield behind Jadarian Price (58 yards on 12 touches) and George Holani (29 yards on eight touches). As long as Price and Holani are healthy, Wilson is unlikely to get meaningful playing time, and Seattle's backfield could get even more crowded once Zach Charbonnet (knee) comes off the PUP list.

Seahawks' Emanuel Wilson: Full practice Sunday
Rotowire
Wilson (hamstring) practiced fully Sunday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Wilson has been a distant third on the RB depth chart behind first-round rookie Jadarian Price and George Holani since the offseason program, and a hamstring injury that was first reported after preseason Week 1 didn't allow Wilson to make any headway for backfield reps to begin the campaign. Now that his health isn't a question, it remains to be seen if Wilson will be a part of the running game during Wednesday's Week 1 matchup with the Patriots.

Seahawks' Emanuel Wilson: Sidelined by short-term hamstring injury
Rotowire
Wilson (hamstring) sat out Saturday's preseason opener against the Cowboys, Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Wilson is managing what is believed to be a short-term hamstring injury. Both Wilson and Jadarian Price (lower body) are expected to be available for the start of the regular season, which may not be the case for Zach Charbonnet (knee). Even if Charbonnet isn't ready to begin the season, Wilson appears likely to cede the majority of backfield opportunities to George Holani and Price. Wilson's next chance to see preseason action will be Sunday, Aug. 23 at Tennessee.

Seahawks' Emanuel Wilson: Mostly working with third-stringers
Rotowire
Wilson has been getting most of his reps with the third-string offense at OTAs, according to Gregg Bell of The News Tribune.
Wilson did a solid job filling in for an injured Josh Jacobs in Green Bay last season, so it's no surprise there was fantasy interest after Wilson signed with the RB-needy Seahawks in March on a reported one-year, $2.1 million contract. His fantasy stock has since taken a hit, in large part because the Seahawks drafted RB Jadarian Price at No. 32 overall in April. It also doesn't help that Wilson's contract is closer to $1.6 million in base value, not $2.1 million, and with only $300,000 guaranteed at signing. He may still be part of the plan to help replace Kenneth Walker (Chiefs) and Zach Charbonnet (torn ACL), but early reports out of Seattle have George Holani getting most of the first-team reps while Price mixes in some. Wilson seems to be exclusively working with the backups, at least during the media-access portions of practice.

Seahawks' Emanuel Wilson: First-round RB added by Seattle
Rotowire
Wilson will face increased competition for touches after the Seahawks drafted Jadarian Price 32nd overall Thursday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
All three of Wilson, Price and George Holani could play sizable roles early in the season while Zach Charbonnet works his way back from a torn ACL. The Seahawks signed Wilson and drafted Price after losing running back Kenneth Walker in free agency. Price is untested in a workhorse role, having backed up Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame, so Seattle's likely to spread out the backfield workload between multiple options despite investing significant draft capital into Price.

Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Won't be tendered
Rotowire
The Packers aren't planning on tendering Wilson, so he will become a free agent, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Wilson served as Josh Jacobs' backup at running back last season and tallied 496 yards and three touchdowns on 125 carries, adding 99 receiving yards on 15 catches over 17 regular-season games. He also worked part-time as a kick returner and logged 233 yards on nine kickoff returns. Wilson just finished his third campaign with Green Bay and entered the offseason as a restricted free agent, but the Packers' decision not to tender him means he'll be free to sign with any team.

Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Serves as Jacobs' backup in 2025
Rotowire
Wilson turned 125 carries into 496 yards and three touchdowns while adding 15 catches (on 17 targets) for 99 yards over 17 regular-season games (two starts) for the Packers in 2025. He also returned nine kickoffs for 233 yards.
For a second consecutive season, Wilson served as the Packers' No. 2 option behind Josh Jacobs. The former managed to draw two starts, the first of which took place in Week 12 against the Vikings, when he broke out for 107 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries while hauling in both of his targets for 18 yards. Wilson saw double-digit carries in four regular-season games but only one carry (for three yards) during Green Bay's 31-27 NFC wild-card loss to Chicago on Saturday while playing 13 of 71 offensive snaps (18.3 percent). The Packers have the option to tender Wilson during the offseason, which would make the soon-to-be 26-year-old running back a restricted free agent.

Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Week 18 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
It would be a surprise if Josh Jacobs played in Week 18 at Minnesota since the Packers are locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC. That should give Wilson the chance to be the lead running back in Green Bay, and we already saw him in this matchup with the Vikings in Week 12 when Jacobs was out due to injury. Wilson had 28 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns and two catches for 18 yards on two targets. I wouldn't expect that level of production again, especially since the Packers will likely be cautious with several starters, but Wilson is worth using as at least a flex option in all leagues if he starts in Week 18.

Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Four touches in Week 17
Rotowire
Wilson rushed three times for 16 yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens.
Wilson, along with the rest of the Packers' running backs, was limited to minimal production in Week 17. Starter Josh Jacobs churned out three yards on four carries and caught one pass for no gain in the game while battling through a calf issue. With Green Bay locked in as the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs, it's possible that Jacobs is rested and Wilson earns the nod as the team's lead back in Week 18 versus the Vikings.

Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Week 17 Waiver Priority List

Josh Jacobs (knee) is playing hurt, and he missed every practice leading up to Week 16 against Chicago. Jacobs struggled against the Bears with 48 total yards and a fumble, but Wilson looked great with 14 carries for 82 yards. We'll see what happens in Week 17 against Baltimore, but Wilson would be a No. 2 Fantasy running back in all leagues if he started in place of Jacobs. It's a good idea to stash Wilson on your bench where he's still available.

Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Highly efficient in OT loss
Rotowire
Wilson rushed 14 times for 82 yards and recovered a fumble in the Packers' 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears on Saturday night.
Wilson was effective throughout the night, and after Josh Jacobs lost a fumble at the Bears' three-yard line in the third quarter, the former handled the rest of Green Bay's non-quarterback rushing opportunities. Wilson's rushing yardage total was his second highest of the season, and he may have earned himself a bigger workload in next Saturday night's home showdown against the Ravens even if Jacobs is healthy enough to play through his knee and ankle injuries.
