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
RANKS
Signed a one-year contract with the Packers in April of 2025.
Four touches in win
Wilson rushed three times for 11 yards and caught his lone target for minus-four yards in Sunday's 27-18 win over the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Wilson continued to operate as the primary backup to Josh Jacobs in Week 6. The 26-year-old running back played just 11 of the Packers' 61 offensive snaps Sunday, while Jacobs handled 48 snaps. Barring an injury to Jacobs, Wilson remains far off the fantasy radar as anything more than an insurance policy. The Fort Valley State University product will have his next chance to spell Jacobs out of the backfield in Week 7 when the Packers visit the Cardinals.

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
Lloyd's injury clears path to spot
Wilson's chances of making Green Bay's 53-man roster have improved after head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Sunday that MarShawn Lloyd "is going to miss some time" due to a hamstring injury Lloyd suffered in Saturday's preseason game against the Colts, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was already likely to make the team after posting 502 rushing yards as Josh Jacobs' primary backup in the 2024 regular season, though he was at risk of being bumped from the team if both Lloyd and Chris Brooks leapfrogged Wilson on the depth chart. With Lloyd perhaps not ready for the start of the regular season based on LaFleur's comments, Wilson and Brooks can both be safely penciled into roster spots behind Jacobs.
