From the episode

21 carries, 81 yards for a touchdown, plus three catches for another 39 yards and receiving game touchdown last week. 27 fantasy points. This was the role that we had kind of talked about we thought would eventually materialize for a Seahawks running back. He's now on IR. Emmanuel Wilson is in a spot this week and maybe only for this week and next week to continue to be the guy until someone else comes back into that backfield.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Wilson's 27-point week and expanded role make him a low-end RB2 flex with a closing window.

Wilson posted 21 carries, 81 yards, one rushing touchdown, plus three catches for 39 yards and one receiving touchdown last week for 27 fantasy points total. This is the expanded role the source expected to materialize for a Seahawks running back; Jadarian Price is now on IR. Wilson has a window of opportunity for this week and possibly next week until another back returns, though the Seahawks did bring in Joe Mixon (who failed his physical). The source rates him as a low-end RB2 option.
