The winds are shifting in Seattle's backfield toward Emanuel Wilson. In Week 2, the Seahawks showed a shift in backfield usage toward Wilson. He doesn't shy away from contact and can make defenders bounce off him while fighting for extra yards. Seattle knows Jadarian Price is part of its future plans and Zach Charbonnet is nearing a return; the team is feeding Wilson for the next few weeks to showcase what he can do and potentially use him as a valuable trade piece. In Week 3 against Washington (without Jayden Daniels), Wilson faces an even better matchup and could push toward the mid-20s in touches while Seattle controls the clock.

Wilson stepped in for injured rookie Jadarian Price against the Cardinals with George Holani remaining in his passing-down role. Wilson finished with 21 carries for 92 yards on 53% of the team's rush attempts and handled two of three carries inside the 5 after Price left. Holani only took 10% of the carries but ran routes on 37% of the team's dropbacks compared to 15% for Wilson. This is a solid running game where Wilson's workload would be flex-worthy should Price miss any time; both are widely available in Yahoo leagues with Holani rostered at 8% and Wilson just 1%.

Wilson got 21 carries in a game that was effectively over by halftime, but the backfield remains fluid. Jadarian Price suffered a chest/shoulder injury that kept him out through the fourth quarter, and George Holani played a similar snap count to Week 1 (23 to 17 snaps), suggesting Seattle's backfield is unpredictable. Additionally, Zach Charbonnet (knee) could return before Halloween, further limiting Wilson's long-term role.

Wilson is seeing value inflated due to rookie Jadarian Price dealing with a shoulder injury that caused him to miss time in the late stages of Week 2. With Price missing time, Wilson leapfrogged George Holani and took over as the early-down back for the Seahawks, posting a solid 92 yards on 21 carries. Early reports suggest Price's injury isn't anything major, but if Price is unable to suit up for Week 3, Wilson would be a borderline low-end RB2 for fantasy in a matchup where Seattle is 6.5-point favorites over the Commanders. Keep in mind, Zach Charbonnet is expected to return in October, so the runway is short for Wilson.
