Below are the two other nominees this week.
- New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara rushed for 155 yards on 22 attempts (7.0 avg.) and 6 touchdowns in Week 16.
- Houston Texans running back David Johnson rushed for 128 yards on 12 attempts (10.7 avg.) and 1 rushing touchdown in Week 16.
Voting is open until Wednesday at noon (PT) at NFL.com/FedEx each week of the season. Fans can also vote on Twitter via the @NFL published polls and on the NFL Mobile App.
Wilson, an undrafted free agent out of North Texas who is now in his third NFL season, has a career-high 524 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns on 106 carries and 10 receptions for 121 yards and two more scores through 11 games this season.
Through the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week Awards, FedEx will honor each weekly winning quarterback and running back by working with Direct Relief to deliver emergency medical backpacks to North East Medical Services. The backpacks will help take care of 500 people in each community.
