Wilson fell to a 33 percent snap share in last week's loss at Denver after posting back-to-back games with 20-plus carries and multiple targets; he dropped to 14 carries and one target. The Seahawks deployed Velus Jones (four carries for 20 yards) and George Holani (5-20-1 rushing line) in passing-down work, suggesting Wilson may now be stuck in a three-way timeshare. Against Kansas City's stout defense limiting RBs to 3.2 YPC (2nd) and 19.0 PPR points per game (9th), Wilson presents a risky Week 7 start.PositiveUsageOct 22, 2026
Wilson will be a risky play after falling to a 33 percent snap share in last week's loss at Denver. He dropped to 14 carries and one target, following back-to-back games with 20-plus carries, multiple targets and a touchdown. The Seahawks gave Velus Jones his first carries of the year—four for 20 yards—and also got a 5-20-1 rushing line from passing-down back George Holani. Wilson may now be stuck in a three-way timeshare of some sort. Come Sunday night, he'll have the additional obstacle of a stout Chiefs defense that's limiting RBs to 3.2 YPC (2nd) and 19.0 PPR points per game (9th).NegativeProjectionOct 20, 2026
Has handled 24, 22, and 14 touches in last three weeks, but George Holani led in snaps last week and scored the backfield's only goal-line TD; ranking will slide into next tier if Zach Charbonnet returns; profiles as a multi-back mess in a suddenly meh scoring offense against Kansas City's top-10 run defense.NegativeProjectionOct 20, 2026
Ranked RB25 with the caveat that the ranking will slide into the next tier if Zach Charbonnet makes his season debut; has handled 24, 22, and 14 touches in the last three weeks, but George Holani led the way in snaps last week and scored the backfield's only goal-line TD; profiles as a multi-back mess in a suddenly meh scoring offense that has struggled to run the ball all season against a top-10 run defense.NegativeUsageOct 19, 2026
Emanuel Wilson's snap share dropped to 33% in Week 6 from 59% and 60% in the prior two weeks; he took only 15 of 25 RB opportunities (60%), down from 22 of 30 (73%) in Week 5. The Seahawks scaled back Wilson's role from the jump, using Velus Jones on offense after he got just two snaps and no touches over the first five games. Wilson took 62% of snaps in Q1, 47% in Q2, 44% in Q3, and just 9% in Q4 and OT. With Zach Charbonnet (knee) nearing a return, Wilson's mainstream fantasy utility may be coming to an end.NegativeRoleOct 16, 2026
