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

Wilson had one carry for four yards in Sunday's 27-13 victory over the Lions.
ANALYSIS
With starting running back Josh Jacobs handling the bulk of the work in Green Bay's backfield Wilson was only on the field for two plays Sunday, but he was handed the football on one of them. Wilson is averaging 5.0 YPC across 118 career attempts, so -- depending on the status of MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) he could be next up for carries if Jacobs were to go down. However, fellow running back Chris Brooks -- who played nine snaps Sunday -- is more effective as a pass catcher and blocker, so as long as Jacobs is out there it seems likely Wilson will operate as the third running back.

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
RBGreen Bay Packers
August 17, 2025
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.
