Packers RB Emanuel Wilson named FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week for Week 12

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has been named one of the two FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week after producing a career day in a win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12 of the 2025 season. Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who produced 264 total yards in a win over the New York Giants was the other winner.

Wilson, in his first career NFL start, rushed 28 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns during the Packers' 23-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings. He also caught two passes for 18 yards, powering the Packers offense without injured running back Josh Jacobs.

Wilson scored twice from one yard out, and his success rate was over 60 percent despite receiving 28 carries. Of his 28 carries, nine resulted in first downs or touchdowns. Wilson accounted for 125 of the Packers' 288 total yards.

Wilson is the first Packer to win the award since quarterback Jordan Love in Week 8.

Wilson's win will provide a $2,000 donation from FedEx to Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin.

With Jacobs expected to play Thursday against the Detroit Lions, Wilson will go back to a supporting role.
