From the episode

It is the Emmanuel Wilson show in a matchup with San Francisco. I think we can feel pretty good about the volume outlook for him after the 21 carry day last week against the Chargers.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Wilson is a solid RB2 start, but efficiency and game-script risks remain.

Emmanuel Wilson has moved up to RB17 in ECR following a 21-carry, 3-catch, 39-yard, 1-TD performance against the Chargers. He commanded 76% of Seattle's running back opportunities (25 total) last week. While he is a recommended start, there is caution regarding his efficiency (2.7 YPC excluding two 15-yard runs) and potential game-script risk against the 49ers, who may force Seattle to pass more.
