2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wilson was on the field for a career-high 955 defensive snaps in 2024, though the results weren't particularly positive. He allowed opposing quarterbacks to post a whopping 141.6 rating when targeted, including 13.1 yards per reception and six touchdowns. His success in run defense wasn't much better, as his missed tackle rate spiked to 15.2 percent (per PFF) - the highest mark of his career since 2021. All of that suggests his job should be in jeopardy, but Dallas did little to reinforce their safety group this offseason. Wilson is the perfect example of the divergence that sometimes emerges between on-field performance and fantasy results, but IDP points should continue to roll in if Wilson remains on the field.

Signed a three-year, $21 million contract with the Cowboys in March of 2023.
Reliable contributor in 2024
Wilson started all 17 regular-season games this season and recorded 82 tackles (44 solo), including 4.5 sacks, five passes defensed, including one interception, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
ANALYSIS
The safety also played on at least 67 percent of the defensive snaps in every game and on more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps in 14 contests. Wilson, a 2019 sixth-round pick, now has three straight seasons of at least 80 tackles and multiple pass breakups and turnovers forced. After signing a three-year, $21-million extension with the Cowboys in 2023, he'll be entering a contract year in 2025.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2021
Wilson wasn't able to repeat his breakout 2022 campaign, but he still recorded 88 tackles and two interceptions in 15 games last season. He also failed to produce a sack after racking up 5.0 the year before. The 29-year-old thrived in Dan Quinn's scheme as a hybrid safety-linebacker, but new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer may not use him the same way, putting Wilson's IDP utility in question in 2024 even if he seems locked into a starting role for Dallas.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to stay put
According to Clarence Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, there isn't much optimism that Wilson and the Cowboys will agree to a contract extension.
ANALYSIS
Wilson started all 17 games for the Cowboys in 2022, but his asking price may be beyond what the team is willing to offer, especially with Dallas also attempting to re-sign a few key free agents at other positions. If Wilson walks away in free agency, Dallas would still have a combination of Jayron Kearse, Israel Mukuamu and Malik Hooker -- who's recovering from thumb surgery -- available at safety.
