As Malik Willis prepares to start in place of Jordan Love (sprained MCL), the Green Bay Packers may go with a run-heavy ball control offense, with 2022 rushing champion Josh Jacobs leading the charge. Still, Emanuel Wilson can carve out a role as the No. 2 running back.

In three career starts, the 25-year-old has thrown three interceptions and zero touchdown passes. Expect head coach Matt LaFleur to feed his ball-carriers against the Indianapolis Colts, which gave up the most rushing yards in Week 1. In fantasy terms, they surrendered the sixth-most points to running backs last week.

For the long run, rookie third-rounder Marshawn Lloyd is the preferred No. 2 running back in the backfield because of his explosive playmaking ability.

For now, though, Wilson will likely provide a more immediate impact.

Both Lloyd and Wilson dealt with injuries going into last Friday’s contest in Brazil, but the former sat out while the latter served as Jacobs’ backup.

Against the Philadelphia Eagles, Wilson recorded four carries for 46 yards, breaking free on a couple of long runs. He also hauled in two out of three targets for two yards.

Remember, Green Bay placed running back AJ Dillon on season-ending injured reserve.

Wilson has a year of experience in the Packers offense. So, until Lloyd is healthy and shows a good grasp of the system, the Fort Valley State product should be on your radar while the team tries to field a competitive offense without Love.
