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 carried the ball four times for 14 yards in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.
ANALYSIS
With Josh Jacobs back in action after a one-game absence, Wilson returned to a depth role. The third-year back proved himself in Week 12 with 125 scrimmage yards and two rushing TDs as the starter, but as long as Jacobs is healthy, Wilson's workload will be unpredictable at best -- over the four games prior to his spot start, he saw anywhere from two to 14 touches.

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
Set to retreat to backup role
RBGreen Bay Packers
November 27, 2025
Wilson is expected to be relegated to a backup role Thursday against the Lions, as Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports that Josh Jacobs does not carry an injury designation into the game.
ANALYSIS
Wilson rushed for 107 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 12 spot start against the Vikings, which Jacobs sat out due to a knee injury. With Jacobs making his return Thanksgiving Day, Wilson's role will likely be reduced significantly. Wilson has averaged just 6.4 touches in 10 games as Jacobs' backup this season.
