Finds end zone twice in loss Wilson had six rushes for eight yards with two touchdowns during Friday's 31-28 defeat to Stanford, while he didn't attempt a pass.

Impact Wilson is a tremendous goal-line and short-yardage specialist, as he really has a nose for the end zone. The sophomore from Columbia, S.C. has piled up eight rushing touchdowns on just 42 attempts through the first seven games. Still, he doesn't see enough usage to warrant fantasy consideration as long as CJ Bailey remains healthy.

Scores against Louisville Wilson completed 0 of 0 passes for zero yards during Saturday's 31-28 victory over Louisville. He also had seven rushes for 27 yards with one touchdown.

Another game, another touchdown Wilson didn't attempt a pass during Saturday's 35-31 defeat to Vanderbilt, while he had eight rushes for 49 yards with one touchdown.

Impact The sophomore from South Carolina didn't attempt a pass, but he continues to be useful in the offense for NC State due to his good work with his legs. He accounted for four total scores against Richmond last week, and he has five total rushing touchdowns through three games. Perhaps Dave Doeren and the coaching staff are kicking themselves for letting CJ Bailey mishandle the ball in the team's own end zone, leading to a debilitating loss, rather than a celebrated win.

Impact Wilson did it with his feet in short-yardage situations in the red zone, and that's concerning to fantasy managers of CJ Bailey. Wilson is going to have a role in this offense, even when the team plays in closer games. He is just such a weapon in short yardage, showing a tremendous nose for the end zone.

Impact Wilson subbed in late in the third quarter, and he engineered the team's only touchdown drive in a forgettable season opener for the Pack. Wilson's rushing score was the only positive highlight on offense in a mostly dismal showing. He is likely to see some snaps in the home opener against FCS Richmond on Sept. 11.
