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

Works behind Brooks again
RBGreen Bay Packers
September 12, 2025
Wilson didn't record a carry or target and had a 27-yard kickoff return in Thursday's 27-18 win over the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Wilson played just five snaps on offense, giving him seven through two weeks compared to Chris Brooks' 22 over that span. With Josh Jacobs seeing the vast majority of opportunities in Green Bay's backfield and Brooks next in line during MarShawn Lloyd's (hamstring) stint on IR, Wilson appears unlikely to contribute much this season.

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.
