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

Slated for leading role with Jacobs out

November 23, 2025
Wilson is slated to lead the Packers backfield Sunday versus the Vikings with Josh Jacobs (knee) inactive, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The decision on Jacobs came down to a pregame warmup, which he didn't pass. Wilson thus will be the top running back for Green Bay in Week 12. In the three contests in which he earned double-digit touches this season, he averaged 12.3 touches for 72.3 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring one rushing TD. Chris Brooks and practice-squad elevation Pierre Strong are on hand for the snaps that don't go to Wilson.

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 start next Sunday
RBGreen Bay Packers
November 17, 2025
Wilson might be the starting running back for the Packers in Week 12 against the Vikings after Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Josh Jacobs' knee injury could force him to miss time.
ANALYSIS
Jacobs was hurt during Sunday's win against the Giants and left the game, and Wilson was effective in his place, gaining 40 yards and a TD on 11 carries while adding a nine-yard reception. If Jacobs is unavailable in Week 12, Chris Brooks could also see an increased role as the No. 2 back against Minnesota.
