Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson is one of six nominees for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week for Week 12 of the 2025 season.
Wilson, who started in place of an injured Josh Jacobs, rushed for 107 yards, caught two passes for 18 yards and scored two 1-yard touchdowns during the Packers’ 23-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
Fans can vote for Wilson here. The top two vote getters will be announced the winners on Wednesday.
Across 28 carries against the Vikings, Wilson produced a rushing success rate of 60.7, the fifth highest by a running back with at least 25 carries in a game this season. He also created nine total first downs or touchdowns.
According to Wes Hodkiewicz of Packers.com, Wilson is the first Packers player to rush for over 100 yards and score two rushing touchdowns in his first career start since Samkon Gado in 2005.
Wilson has a lot of competition for the weekly honor.
