2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wilson is something of a polarizing IDP option. He struggles in coverage and doesn't provide much in terms of pass rush, but he's a reliable tackler and is arguably an elite run defender. Between that and his secure role in the Bengals' defense, he's managed to reach 100 total tackles in each of the last four seasons. The story will remain the same entering 2025, as Wilson's importance to the unit is likely to be even more pronounced after the offseason departure of Germaine Pratt. If Wilson can remain on the field, he should be in for a massive season. That's no given considering he's played 13 or fewer games in three of his five pro seasons, but Wilson looks to be healthy entering training camp after knee surgery ended his 2024 season prematurely.

Wilson requested a trade from the Bengals on Thursday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson has started all seven games to this point in the season, but he's been a starter in name only for Cincinnati, as he's logged just 19.7 and 45.6 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the past two contests. The Bengals have moved in the direction of rookies Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight at linebacker. With Wilson's playing time fading, he's looking for a new opportunity elsewhere. Wilson is signed through the 2027 season.

2020
From an IDP perspective, Wilson had a banner year, with a career-high 135 tackles, four interceptions, three forced fumbles and a sack. However, he also faced unwanted scrutiny due to his tackling form in a Thursday night loss to the Ravens, when Mark Andrews got hurt on a Wilson tackle that was classified as a "hip-drop" tackle, a maneuver that will be penalized in 2024. Wilson also was more vulnerable in coverage - opposing quarterbacks completed 36 of 46 passes when targeting Wilson's coverage, good for 365 yards and four touchdowns.
Wilson has become the heart of the Bengals' defense, collecting a career-high 123 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 2022 while remaining an asset in coverage. Wilson's background as a high-school wideout shows in his speed and athleticism, but his instincts as a tackler are also impressive, making him a true three-down linebacker. Heading into the final year of his rookie contract, there's no sign of acrimony between the team and player the way there was with Jessie Bates, so Wilson doesn't figure to see any change in how he's used. The only question is his health, as he's missed eight games in his three-year career.
Wilson suffered a torn shoulder labrum in Week 13 of 2021 and the recovery from surgery might make him a close call for the start of training camp. He was a four-year starter at Wyoming, and through 1,018 NFL defensive snaps he has 133 tackles, two sacks and six interceptions. Wilson’s standout athleticism and coverage skills should go to good use as the Bengals’ high- scoring offense forces opponents to throw.
The Bengals had a second-round grade on Wilson heading into the 2020 Draft and were thrilled when he was available to them with the first pick of the third round, 65th overall. The four-year starter at Wyoming logged three triple-digit tackle seasons there and excelled in coverage, a particular sticking point for the Bengals' linebacking corps the last two seasons. He'll likely slot right in at strongside linebacker in the Bengals' 4-3 set-up, most likely alongside former Raven Josh Bynes and second-year player Germaine Pratt.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Fresh start could be coming
LBCincinnati Bengals
October 28, 2025
The Bengals are open to trading Wilson prior to the deadline, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bengals have turned to a pair of rookies in their linebacker corps, pushing Wilson into a reserve role. While that was a surprising fall for Wilson, he still has the potential to be a strong contributor as a run stopper in a different setting. Fowler mentions the Cowboys, 49ers, Bills and Colts as potentially interested teams.
