Should I start Emanuel Wilson in fantasy? How Josh Jacobs' injury news impacts Packers' RB depth chart image

The Green Bay Packers are ready for a huge Saturday night clash against the Chicago Bears in Week 16 NFC North Division action.

Green Bay's backfield entered the day with a big question mark surrounding Josh Jacobs' injury.

We'll know Jacobs' official status at 6:50 p.m. ET, but this is a look ahead.

If Jacobs plays or is out, it has a big fantasy impact on Emanuel Wilson, his backup RB.

Should I start Emanuel Wilson in fantasy?

This answer is easy with the report that Josh Jacobs is active: Sit Wilson.

Wilson was really good this year when Jacobs was out, and on a cold night in Soldier Field, Green Bay should run plenty.

But Jacobs is playing. 

Start Jacobs, sit Wilson and good luck.

If you're desperate, Wilson should see some snaps. Jacobs will likely be on a pitch count. But it's not ideal to rely on Wilson in this spot.
