Emanuel Wilson Could See Reduced Role

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson was the primary backup behind Josh Jacobs during the season opener. The 25-year-old did well as he rushed for 46 yards on four yards with two receptions as well. It was a decent outing given his fairly small workload, which could be reduced even more in Week 2. […]

Jordan Whittington Could See More Involvement

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington is someone who could possibly see more action with the team shorthanded at wideout.

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders was the leading rusher for this offense during the Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
