Seattle’s running-back injuries made Wilson a fantasy and workload talking point
Ross Tucker said Seattle lacked its top 2 running backs and Emmanuel Wilson stepped in to carry the load.[1]
Bill Simmons said Wilson found something for Seattle, received many touches and was thrown the ball out of the backfield.[2]
Fantasy Footballers discussed Wilson as a waiver option after Seattle signed Joe Mixon and Jadarrius Price went on IR.[3]
Fantasy Footballers agreed Wilson could be a strong fantasy start if Price was out, but said Seattle would likely split work between Wilson and Salami.[4]
Bill Simmons and Joe House treated Wilson’s touches as adequate while Seattle dealt with its running-back issues and Charbonnet’s absence.[5]
