2023 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Underwhelms in 2022

January 25, 2023
Wilson secured 12 of 18 targets for 136 yards without a touchdown across 15 appearances with the Dolphins in 2022. He added eight yards on his lone carry.
ANALYSIS
Wilson fell back to earth after recording a career-best 45-602-6 receiving line with the Cowboys back in 2021, disappointing in the first season of his three-year, $22.8 million contract with the Dolphins. The 26-year-old's bloated contract could make him a potential trade candidate for Miami, as he carries a $7 million base salary for the 2023 campaign. If the Dolphins were to trade Wilson before June 1, the team would save $6 million with a dead-cap hit of just $2 million.

2018
Wilson will line up in a familiar role as the No. 3 option behind two star receivers in Miami, after hav-ing done so with CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper back in Dallas. As a versatile player, and one who posted two 100-yard games last season, totaling 45-602-6 in 16 games, Wilson could thrive while defenses focus on Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill.
Wilson was one of the beneficiaries of the Cowboys' all-offense approach early in the season, catching two touchdowns Week 3 and throwing one to Dak Prescott on a trick play Week 5. Once Prescott was lost for the season, however, Wilson's role evaporated. As a versatile No. 4 receiver in a potent aerial attack, Wilson could have the occasional big game again in 2021, but it would likely take an injury to one of Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb or Michael Gallup for the 2018 sixth-round pick to see consistent targets.
A sixth-round pick in 2018, Wilson has battled injuries his first two years in the NFL but did make his debut last season, catching five of eight targets for 46 yards over six games. His athleticism still makes him intriguing and his experience in Kellen Moore's offensive scheme should allow him to secure a depth role in Dallas, but targets will be hard to find barring an injury to the likes of Amari Cooper or Michael Gallup.
Wilson spent his entire rookie season on IR with a shoulder injury, and a concussion suffered in the first preseason game of 2019 makes him a long shot to win a roster spot once again despite his athletic tools as a receiver.
A 2018 sixth-round pick out of Boise State, Wilson joins a Cowboys depth chart that saw over 200 targets head out the door with Jason Witten's retirement and Dez Bryant's release. Wilson doesn't have the speed or physicality to make an immediate impact in the NFL, but his size and athleticism give him some versatility and red-zone appeal, and the converted high-school quarterback should only get more polished in his routes once he gains experience. Wilson will take a redshirt for his rookie season after suffering a shoulder injury during training camp, but he's expected to have surgery in August and should be ready for the Cowboys' offseason program next year.
