Why It Matters: We saw our first taste of Velus Jones in the backfield on Thursday night as he and George Holani combined for nine carries. While Wilson outpaced both of them with 14, he lost the all-important goal-line touches to Holani, who scored the team's lone touchdown. It was likely situation specific as the team had been throwing the ball extensively before a couple of carries that resulted in a score, but it was disappointing for fantasy owners nonetheless. It'll be interesting to see if Zach Charbonnet (knee) returns ahead of Week 7 as the Seahawks have a few extra days before facing the Chiefs. While Wilson should still retain a meaningful role, he could continue to bleed touches to guys like Charbonnet and perhaps even Jones. As such, Wilson tops out as an RB3/flex.
