Emanuel Wilson Headshot

Seahawks RB Emanuel Wilson racked up 21 carries for 81 yards and a TD in Sunday's win over the Chargers, adding 3 catches for 39 yards and another TD on 4 targets. He operated as the clear backfield leader ahead of George Holani (7 carries, 1 target) in the first game after Seattle placed rookie RB Jadarian Price on IR. The playing-time gap didn't up as large as the touch counts would signal, though. Wilson played 36 snaps (60% of the team total) to 22 for Holani. He ran 12 routes (46.2% of Seattle dropbacks) to Holani's 8.

2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Good Enough is Good Enough

Wilson didn't electrify anyone with his 3.9 yards per carry. His 23-yard TD reception came on a well-blocked screen that found him going over one tackle attempt to get into the end zone. His TD run late in the second quarter also found a pretty clear off-tackle path to the left side.

But Wilson did his job, which figures to help him keep the role for a Week 5 home date with the 49ers. San Francisco has been a positive scoring matchup for RBs to date by our adjusted fantasy points allowed.

Price will miss at least three more games while recovering from his chest injury.
