From the episode

Emmanuel Wilson, though, at times has looked like he's running in mud. You know, he's not the most explosive back in the world. I think that when Zach Charbonnet comes back, he's going to probably hold on and grab hold of a pretty decent part of that backfield.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Wilson lacks explosiveness; Charbonnet's return will cut into his backfield share.

Emmanuel Wilson has looked like he's "running in mud" and lacks explosiveness. When Zach Charbonnet returns, he will likely grab a decent portion of the backfield. Even when Bayless Jones came in last night, he showed more burst than Wilson. There's not enough consistency from Wilson to be a reliable fantasy option.
