With MarShawn Lloyd out because of a lingering hamstring issue, Wilson served as Josh Jacobs' backup versus Philly. Wilson didn't see the field much but looked incredibly explosive on his limited number of touches. His first touch came on the Packers' fourth drive of the night. He sliced through the Eagles' linebackers for a 14-yard gain. Head coach Matt LaFleur stuck with him on the following two plays for gains of five and 18 yards. Wilson is purely a backup and won't see the field enough to have stand-alone fantasy value, but he would be an instant RB2 if Jacobs were to miss any time while Lloyd is still recovering.
Lloyd is still working through the nagging hamstring injury that bothered him throughout camp. Fellow backup running back Emanuel Wilson, who was questionable with a hip injury, is active. He will serve as the backup to Josh Jacobs. Green Bay's thin running back depth should ensure an elite workload for Jacobs in his first game as a Packer.
Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is inactive for tonight s game vs. the Eagles. The rookie missed a ton of time this summer and won t be a factor in the short term. RB Emanuel Wilson (hip) and practice-squad call-up RB Ellis Merriweather are active behind RB Josh Jacobs, who figures to dominate touches tonight.
Packers RBs MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) and Emanuel Wilson (hip) are listed as questionable for Friday night's opener vs. the Eagles. Both guys got in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday and figure to be active tomorrow. But neither is likely to play a big role. RB Josh Jacobs is a good bet to dominate touches against Philly. He sits 10th in the Week 1 RB Rankings.
Wilson logged three straight limited participant designations this week and will likely alternate with rookie MarShawn Lloyd behind starter Josh Jacobs. Wilson cannot be trusted to return fantasy value, playing at less than 100.0 percent, with all three RBs active
