2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wilson signed with the Saints this offseason. The receiver could compete with A.T. Perry for the No. 3 role. Wilson played 15 games for the Dolphins last year. Although Wilson played at least 33 snaps in 10 games, he failed to reach 300 yards. Going into his sixth season, it’s possible that Wilson’s career year was in 2021 with Dallas. In that season, the veteran posted 602 yards and six touchdowns. Wilson’s next best season represented less than half of his 2021 production. The most likely scenario is that Wilson settles in as the No. 4 receiver in New Orleans. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Quiet first season in New Orleans
Wilson appeared in 15 regular-season games for the Saints in 2024, totaling 20 catches (on 27 targets) for 211 yards and one touchdown.
ANALYSIS
Wilson saw consistent playing time as the third or fourth wideout for the Saints this season. The 29-year-old joined New Orleans on a two-year, $5.2 million contract in March after spending his previous two seasons in Miami. Wilson was expected to provide some veteran depth behind top wideouts Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee), but he never made much of an impact even though the duo missed the final nine and 11 games of the season, respectively. Wilson logged more than three receptions in just one game, and he ultimately finished with less than 25 catches for the third season in a row. He'll likely have to compete for a reserve role once again heading into the 2025 season.

Wilson seems, on paper, like the perfect fit for coach Mike McDaniel's scheme, so it was underwhelming to say the least to see him limited to an 18-136-1 receiving line in the first season of his three-year, $22.8 million contract with the Dolphins. To stick in Miami it's possible Wilson might need to take a pay cut, but the team may still be intrigued by his potential. Wilson boasts the exact skill set the Dolphins need in a slot complement to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but he'll need to compete with Robbie Chosen and Braxton Berrios for complementary snaps.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Top-three role in banged-up WR room
Wilson is positioned to post his best game as a member of the Saints on Thursday against the Broncos, as Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports that Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed have been ruled out due to a concussion and knee injury, respectively.
ANALYSIS
Wilson has been a non-factor in New Orleans, producing only three catches for 31 yards through six games with the Saints. That's likely to change Thursday, as the absences of Olave and Shaheed leave the Saints with a wide receiver depth chart of Mason Tipton, Bub Means and Wilson prior to any additions from the practice squad. Tipton and Means have a combined 85 receiving yards in their NFL careers, so Wilson's veteran presence will be important as rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler leads the Saints' depleted passing game.
