The Seattle Times Seahawks on Emanuel Wilson

Wilson's first start (81 rush yards, 2 TDs) proves Seahawks can run despite RB injuries.

Wilson signed as a low-cost, high-upside insurance policy in free agency and has emerged as the primary running back option with other backs injured. In his first start against the Chargers, he rushed for 81 yards and a touchdown while adding three catches for 39 yards and another TD, averaging 3.9 yards per carry. The source notes this production was needed and unexpected, as Wilson was not expected to carry the offense before the season began. His performance provided proof the Seahawks' ground game could remain serviceable despite injuries to their primary backs.
