Wilson hauled in six of seven targets for 57 yards and one touchdown during Thursday’s 33-10 loss against the Broncos.
Wilson served as the No. 3 wide receiver due to top wideouts Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) both being out. With just under 1:30 left to play, the 28-year-old caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from No. 3 quarterback Jake Haener, who took the reins from rookie starter Spencer Rattler late in this blowout loss. Wilson finished with a team high in receiving yards, but he played fewer offensive snaps (69) than rookie wideouts Bub Means (89) and Mason Tipton (83). Given that most of Wilson’s production came late in the game, he should be considered a less valuable fantasy option than either Means or Tipton, and his value should only decrease further once Olave returns.
