Wilson had 11 carries for 52 yards and a touchdown and one reception for four yards in Monday's 34-0 victory over the Saints. Wilson racked up all of four carries for 16 yards across Weeks 14-15, but he easily surpassed both marks Monday while getting more work with the Packers lightening the load on starter Josh Jacobs. The latter figures to get as many carries as he can handle in a key Week 17 matchup with the Vikings, so expect Wilson and fellow reserve Chris Brooks -- who also scored in Week 16 -- to be back in complementary roles.

Wilson had 11 carries for 52 yards and a touchdown and one reception for four yards in Monday's 34-0 victory over the Saints. Wilson racked up all of four carries for 16 yards across Weeks 14-15, but he easily surpassed both marks Monday while getting more work with the Packers lightening the load on starter Josh Jacobs. The latter figures to get as many carries as he can handle in a key Week 17 matchup with the Vikings, so expect Wilson and fellow reserve Chris Brooks -- who also scored in Week 16 -- to be back in complementary roles.
Wilson rushed three times for nine yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Seahawks. Wilson continues to play a very small role in the Packers offense as Green Bay's No. 3 running back. The 25-year-old played just six of the Packers' 64 offensive snaps, behind starter Josh Jacobs (48) and primary backup Chris Brooks (16). Barring injuries to Jacobs and Brooks, Wilson remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Saints.
Wilson had one carry for seven yards in Thursday's 34-31 loss to the Lions. Wilson was the second Packers running back to get the ball in Thursday's contest, but both he and Chris Brooks were used sparingly with Josh Jacobs dominating the work out of the backfield. Wilson and Brooks are both handling a similar workload, but Wilson's snaps have paled in comparison to his counterpart's in recent weeks, and Brooks has spent more time on the field in six straight games.
Wilson took two carries for 20 yards during Thursday's 30-17 win versus the Dolphins. Wilson only played four offensive snaps in Week 13, as he appears to have been overtaken by Chris Brooks for the role of backfield second fiddle to Josh Jacobs in recent weeks. Things won't get any easier for Wilson when the Packers travel to take on Detroit's tough defense in Week 14.
Wilson rushed nine times for 41 yards in Sunday's 38-10 rout of the 49ers. Starter Josh Jacobs was the star of Sunday's win by eclipsing 100 rushing yards while scoring three touchdowns. He did leave the game briefly in the second half due to cramping, opening the door for Wilson to get a handful of extra touches he might not have otherwise. Even with a short week approaching, Jacobs figures to be fine for Thursday's tilt against the Dolphins, which would leave Wilson in another low-usage situation on Thanksgiving.
Wilson had two carries for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Bears. Wilson was the second Green Bay running back to enter Sunday's contest and the only one besides Josh Jacobs to record a carry, but he played only three snaps while Jacobs got 37 and Chris Brooks recorded 10 of his own. It's still a toss-up when determining who the top option behind Jacobs is, as the snap counts suggest Brooks but the overall body of work leans toward Wilson. What is certain is it's one or the other, as MarShawn Lloyd (ankle/appendix) will miss at least a couple more weeks.
Wilson had four carries for 28 yards and a touchdown and one reception for one yard in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions. Wilson bounced back from a couple quiet weeks by finding the end zone for the first time since Week 3. The touchdown stands out, but Wilson worked behind both starter Josh Jacobs and fellow reserve Chris Brooks, and the bulk of his touches came with Green Bay in catch-up mode during the second half. Wilson has been productive this season when given the opportunity, but with Brooks perhaps even surpassing him and the possibility that MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) could rejoin Green Bay's backfield, it could be tough to justify holding onto Wilson with the Packers on bye in Week 10.
Wilson had four carries for five yards and two receptions for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars. Wilson's snap count has been trending down for weeks, and he did not even finish second among Packers running backs in that department in Week 8, as Chris Brooks took the field for 17 snaps while Wilson was out there for only 12. Green Bay figures to lean on top back Josh Jacobs in Week 9 before going on bye in Week 10, so those who have held onto Wilson should be evaluating other options.
Wilson had five carries for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-22 victory over the Texans. Wilson had tallied at least seven touches in four straight appearances, but he finished with only five Sunday. Meanwhile, starting running back Josh Jacobs got the ball 17 times in Week 7 and averaged just shy of 20 touches over the last three weeks. Wilson cut into Jacobs' workload a bit earlier in the season, but the latter is now being counted on to do what was expected when he was brought in over the offseason.
