Chris Brooks

Brooks actually played only eight fewer snaps than Emanuel Wilson, but he was mostly used on passing downs and as a breather option. There's not enough meat on the bone in this Packers running game to support two backs. Regardless of Josh Jacobs' Week 13 status, Brooks is not a worthwhile FLEX play.

The Packers let Jacobs test out his knee in warmups but ultimately chose to shut him down for a week. Jacobs is dealing with a knee contusion and was listed as questionable for today's game after getting in a light week of practice. For a team eying a playoff run, this is the prudent move. Emanuel Wilson will draw the start versus Minnesota. Wilson out-carried Chris Brooks 11-1 in relief of Jacobs last week. That split puts him in the RB2 ranks for Week 12.

Packers RB Emanuel Wilson drew workhorse usage in Sunday's win over the Vikings, with Josh Jacobs inactive. He rushed 28 times for 107 yards and 2 TDs, adding 2 receptions for 18 yards among two targets. Chris Brooks handled eight carries as the No. 2 RB, collecting just 21 yards (2.6 per carry).

Suffered minor knee injury in Week 11 Packers standout RB Josh Jacobs knee is structurally sound and no surgery is needed. He s considered day-to-day, but could miss the game against the #Vikings. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport) FF Today's Take: While the overall prognosis appears good, Jacobs did not return to the team's Week 11 game after suffering the injury. The thing that makes this worse for his fantasy managers is that Green Bay also plays on Thanksgiving in Week 13, meaning he is a likely candidate to miss two games if he sits out Week 12. Emanuel Wilson performed about as expected in his absence (11 carries for 40 yards and a touchdown, one catch for nine yards) and would be a decent RB2 play in Week 12 against the Vikings if Jacobs cannot go. Chris Brooks would also be in play, albeit as a desperation flex option in deeper leagues.

With Josh Jacobs lost to a second quarter knee injury, Wilson was thrust into No. 1 duties for the final two-plus quarters. Wilson's churning 11-yard touchdown run was nice in the second frame, but he was otherwise low on highlights as the Pack just tried to survive and advance in Jersey. They must now await Jacobs' MRI results. Coach Matt LaFleur was not forthcoming with updates after the game. If Jacobs is sidelined for Week 12 against the Vikings, Wilson will be a workload-based RB2, one likely backed up by Chris Brooks.
