RB Emanuel Wilson, GB (1 Viewer)

[Faust]

Matt LaFleur says Emanuel Wilson has maximized his opportunities

First career TD for Emanuel Wilson has Packers rolling over Titans

 

[Bri]

He made the most of some great blocking and then carried some on one run in particular. Kind of neither here nor there on his ability

 

[sho nuff]

Showed good burst a few times (especially on the screen for a TD). Seems he may take advantage of Lloyd being on IR.

 

[ohio#1eaglesfan]

High on this kid and will try to find room for him this week. Jacobs has a lot of tread on the tires and could see him starting some games this year.

Who is cutting bait? This offense doesn’t look so hot or amazing to me, especially for rbs

Well, in redraft you're always going to see roster churning to help your current situation, but if you have room and you're a Jacobs owner, then make room for Wilson. If you're in a dynasty league, you make room for Wilson.

If Jacobs goes down Wilson is definitely a rb2 so if you have space right now hold in re-draft.

Brooks 19%, 19%, 12%, 6%.

2025 ypc: 4.9 for Wilson, 3.3 for Jacobs.

Can't look at this in a vacuum. How many short down/distance or goalline carries does Jacobs get over Wilson where he gets the TD, but his ypc is negatively affected?

I would want to see the yards over expected for a better comp.

Short yardage carries* as a percentage of total carries.

2024
Wilson: 10%
Jacobs: 4.9%

2025
Wilson: 6.6%
Jacobs: 11.2%

Total over the last 2 yrs
Wilson: 9.5%
Jacobs: 6.3%

So Wilson has actually had a higher percentage of his carries come in short yardage situations than Jacobs over the entire 2-yr span, although Jacobs has had a higher percentage so far this year.

If you remove their short yardage carries, the numbers for YPC are...

2024
Wilson: 5.1
Jacobs: 4.5

2025
Wilson: 5.0
Jacobs: 3.6

* For short yardage carries I used carries inside the 5 on any down, and also 3rd and 2 or less and 4th and 2 or less anywhere on the field.

An important pickup with the Jaobs news.

I’m wondering if Carter is a drop for him at this point. GB, BYE, then Dallas. But benson possibly back.

I switched my lotto ticket from blue to him

 

[King of the Jungle]

Chris Brooks not a thing?

 

[ponchsox]

An important pickup with the Jaobs news.

I wouldn’t drop anyone good until we hear that Jacobs is in danger of missing the game. Unless you’re playing lotto ticket RB.

 

[Insein]

I might start him if Jacobs is out. Don't own Jacobs. I just hope they announce it early. It's a 4:25 game.

Has there been news on Jacobs?

Thought he got a full practice in yesterday.

They elevated Pierre Strong off the practice squad. So a lot of speculation about Jacobs due to that

What is raising eyebrows is that the Packers elevated RB Pierre Strong from the PS for tomorrow's game

Reported to have a "calf strain" today. On top of the "illness" he's been battling all week.

I dropped K Miller for him. He's probably in a better backup position anyway when I think about it.

Picked him up in one league. In another I could do the same as you or drop I. Davis (who I picked up because it sounds like there's a real chance B. Hall is gone soon).

 

[kyoun1e]

Apparently GBs kick returner is trending out. P. Strong could have been elevated to replace him.

I see people keep saying that but he has zero kick returns on the year.

Nice sleuthing.

This clue makes the reason for the elevation clearer.

Don’t drop Davis

Did this in two leagues. Carter with a bye makes it easy

 

[xenon]

I roster Zonovan Bam Knight and Kendre Miller. Either one worth dropping for the speculative pick here? I mean all three are speculative but man, no clue what to do. Debating dropping Knight as they have a by next week and one week closer to Trey Benson return which muddies the waters even more. What to do?

 

[menobrown]

Whole team might be questionable. j/k

I will say I truly, sincerely, expect Jacobs to play, but big FOMO spot if he sits. Hoping Schefty has news in his midnight dump

You must be referring to Keisean Nixon, but he hasn't returned a single kick all year, and is a CB.

It's a tough one for a 4pm game. He might play, tweak something and then sit out the rest.

I own some jacobs and some wilson, if he's active you just play him and sit wilson and go from there.

Green Bay has not been crisp and I'd argue they should easily be 5-0. Do they think they can just beat Arizona without jacobs? Maybe that informs the decision?

The way they've played though, you can't take anything for granted

 

[Insein]

The plot thickens.

Ok fine. Dropping Carter for him.

 

[Insein]

Not that this is definitive of anything but Vegas books have Emmanuel Wilson as -150 for any time TD. They also took Jacobs off the board.

I got him at +340 4 hours ago.

Could it be the mysterious illness and not the calf that’s making him a game time decision?

Jacobs is back on the book right before the 1pm games. He's at -225. Wilson still at -150 though.

I never saw them even take Jacobs out. And I was looking like every hour.

He was out yesterday up until about 12pm today on MGM
