26-Year-Old Running BackRB
Green Bay Packers
2025 Fantasy Outlook
An undrafted free agent out of Fort Valley State in 2023, Wilson emerged as a reliable depth option in the Packers' backfield last season. The 25-year-old essentially took over the No. 2 role behind Josh Jacobs that was expected to go to MarShawn Lloyd, turning 114 touches into 550 scrimmage yards and five total touchdowns while averaging a strong 4.9 yards per carry. All three backs are expected to return for Green Bay in 2025, but Wilson's usage could shrink significantly if Lloyd can overcome his injury issues. Read Past Outlooks

Two carries in Week 15 loss
RBGreen Bay Packers
December 14, 2025
Wilson (illness) rushed twice for three yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos. He also returned four kickoffs for 95 yards.
ANALYSIS
Wilson played through a questionable tag but so did starter Josh Jacobs (knee), who had 92 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 14 touches to lead Green Bay's backfield as usual. Chris Brooks had two carries for 10 yards and caught one of two targets for six yards as both backups played sparingly. Wilson's role is unlikely to grow as long as Jacobs is available Saturday against the Bears.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
A product of Division II Fort Valley State College, Wilson went undrafted in 2023 but proved to a useful depth option in the Packers' backfield, particularly in the playoffs. Wilson's power and burst make him a weapon between the tackles and a threat to break through to the second level, and he has some pass-catching skills as well. Josh Jacobs replaced Aaron Jones at the top of the Packers' depth chart this offseason and the team also drafted MarShawn Lloyd in the third round, but Wilson could still be in the team's plans.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could get more Week 15 carries
RBGreen Bay Packers
December 11, 2025
Wilson could see an expanded workload Sunday against the Broncos, as Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports that Josh Jacobs didn't practice Thursday and is day-to-day due to a knee injury.
ANALYSIS
Jacobs missed Week 12 due to a knee injury and Wilson excelled while making a spot start, rushing for 107 yards and two touchdowns against the Vikings. The same knee apparently stiffened up on Jacobs in Week 14 against the Bears, putting his status for Week 15 against the Broncos in doubt. Denver boasts an elite run defense, but Wilson would likely handle a heavy workload nonetheless if Jacobs doesn't play Sunday.
