Cedrick Wilson has played 73.1% of the Dolphins offensive snaps since Waddle’s Week 16 injury | Wks 1-15: 43.4%

Headed to New Orleans
Wilson signed a two-year contract with the Saints on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Wilson played the last two seasons in Miami but was something of an afterthought in the offense while playing behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. He could potentially see an increased role with the Saints, who have a returning wide receiver corps of only Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and A.T. Perry. Wilson will likely fight for playing time throughout training camp, but he has a realistic chance to surpass his previous high of 521 offensive snaps in a season in the upcoming campaign.

Decisions coming this offseason
Wilson secured three of seven targets for 37 yards during Saturday's season-ending wild-card playoff loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Wilson drew his highest target total of the 2023 campaign during Miami's sole playoff appearance, capping a stretch run in which his involvement on offense grew, despite lacking a notable uptick in production. Across 15 regular-season appearances, the 28-year-old wideout secured 17 of 38 targets for 296 yards and three touchdowns, better marks across the board than his 2022 season (also 15 games played). Wilson has emerged as a serviceable No. 3 option behind the dynamic duo of Tyreek Hill and…read more

Quiet in loss to Bills
Wilson secured one of three targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 21-14 loss to Buffalo.
Analysis: Wilson failed to make much of his expanded opportunity with Jaylen Waddle (ankle) sidelined versus Buffalo, though he did play a season-high 96 percent of the Dolphins' offensive snaps. Pending Waddle's status for Saturday's wild-card matchup at Kansas City, Wilson could again be called upon to step up as the Dolphins' No. 2 wideout behind Tyreek Hill. Across 15 regular-season appearances in 2023, Wilson turned his 38 targets into 22 catches for 296 yards and three touchdowns.

Finds end zone on two catches
Wilson caught two passes for 27 yards and one touchdown on four targets in Sunday's 56-19 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: It's disappointing that Wilson couldn't draw more targets on a day where Jaylen Waddle (ankle) sat out, especially since the Ravens were without two of their leading corners (Brandon Stephens and Kyle Hamilton). The touchdown salvaged the game somewhat for Wilson, but whenever Waddle is healthy again Wilson should be reduced mostly to a blocker again. With that said, it's not clear whether Waddle might return against Buffalo in Week 18.

Makes impact in narrow win
Wilson secured three of five targets for 42 yards during Sunday's 22-20 win over Dallas.
Analysis: Wilson tallied his highest yardage total since Week 7, in part due to Jaylen Waddle (shin) exiting in the third quarter. Should Waddle miss any further time, Wilson would stand to handle a more significant role behind Tyreek Hill, who recently dealt with an ankle injury of his own. Wilson could become an interesting streaming option in Week 17 against Baltimore.

Does little with three targets
Wilson secured two of three targets for two yards during Sunday's 30-0 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Wilson's lack of production was disappointing considering the presumed opportunity opened up by Tyreek Hill (ankle) missing the game, but unsurprising considering Jaylen Waddle's 8-142-1 line. In all but the deepest of formats, Wilson carries no fantasy value with a Week 16 matchup against the Cowboys coming up.

Makes two grabs in loss to Titans
Wilson secured two of four targets for 30 yards during Monday's 28-27 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Wilson saw his highest target total since Week 11 with Tyreek Hill (ankle) having to spend time on the sideline, but he was once again limited to a quiet performance. Unless Hill ends up missing time, Wilson will not find himself on the fantasy radar Week 15 versus the Jets, except in especially deep formats.

Quiet in win over Jets
Wilson wasn't targeted during Friday's 34-13 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Wilson's involvement in the passing game dipped, as he played just 39 percent of offensive snaps with Braxton Berrios back in the lineup. With a road matchup against the Commanders coming up Week 13, Wilson's fantasy utility remains limited to being used an emergency flex options in deep formats.

Hauls in three passes
Wilson brought in three of four targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Wilson and Robbie Chosen split No. 3 receiver reps behind top targets Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle versus Las Vegas. While Wilson had scored in two straight games leading up to Miami's bye, he logged his highest catch total since Week 5 versus the Raiders. It was also just his fourth time this season with at least 20 receiving yards. Wilson stands to handle a similar depth role on the road Friday versus the Jets.

Scores on only reception
Wilson secured one of five targets for a 31-yard touchdown during Sunday's 21-14 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: Wilson has now scored in back-to-back weeks, though his efficiency on five targets left something to be desired Week 9. He did have a key illegal shift penalty that wiped out what would have been a long gain by Tyreek Hill, though, so despite his nose for the end zone, it's still not a guarantee Wilson secures the No. 3 WR job for himself. After a Week 10 bye, Wilson's next chance to make a good impression will come Sunday, Nov. 19 versus the Raiders.

Scores vs. Pats
Wilson secured his only target for a one-yard touchdown during Sunday's 31-17 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Wilson recorded his first touchdown in a Dolphins uniform Sunday, though he played a season-low 29 percent of offensive snaps. He will look to get more involved versus the Chiefs in Germany in Week 9, but with Chase Claypool now also in the mix as a depth wideout, there aren't many snaps to go around behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Secures two of three targets
Wilson secured two of three targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Wilson has been more involved on offense for Miami as of late, and he made one highlight reel downfield catch to give the passing game life late in the second quarter. The rotational wideout nearly came up with another deep ball for what would have been a clutch fourth-down conversion later in the contest, though a missed facemask penalty on James Bradberry prevented that. Wilson also had a trick play drawn up with him as the passer, though he ultimately took a sack rather than throwing…read more

Finally involved on offense
Wilson secured all four of his targets for 52 yards during Sunday's 31-16 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Wilson racked up his best yardage total in a Dolphins uniform Week 5, operating as the primary No. 3 wideout behind top dogs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Since beginning the 2023 campaign as a healthy scratch in Miami's first two games, Wilson has ramped up his involvement on offense, most recently playing a season-high 54 percent of offensive snaps Sunday. He will look to build on his momentum Week 6 against Carolina.

Suits up Sunday
Wilson is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: With Jaylen Waddle (concussion) out and Erik Ezukanma inactive, Wilson will suit up versus Denver, while Tyreek Hill will lead the Dolphins' Week 3 WR corps. Also in the mix for targets Sunday are Braxton Berrios, River Cracraft and Robbie Chosen.

Healthy scratch Sunday
Wilson (coach's decision) has been ruled inactive for Sunday's contest against the Chargers.
Analysis: Wilson agreed to a reworked contract to stick with Miami during the team's final roster cuts, though it appears he'll be passed over for the season opener. In his stead, Erik Ezukanma and River Cracraft will slot in behind starting wideouts Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Braxton Berrios. Wilson caught 12 passes on 18 targets across 15 games in 2022, so he doesn't figure to make a significant impact unless there are injuries to Miami's starting wide receiver unit this season.

Wilson and the Dolphins agreed Tuesday to a reworked contract that will keep him on the roster, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Wilson's name was brought up in trade speculation all offseason, but by agreeing to a reduced salary he earns a chance to prove himself in Miami after his disappointing 2022 campaign. Per Jonathan Jones of CBSSports.com, Wilson is lowering his base salary to $2 million but will get a $3 million signing bonus and incentives that can boost his total salary up to $7.25 million.

Underwhelms in 2022
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.

Ready to go Sunday
Wilson (hip/groin) is active Sunday against the Bills.

Wilson (hip/groin) is questionable for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Wilson was sidelined for Week 18 due to a hip injury he suffered in Week 17, but he returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant and logged a full session Friday.

Won't play Sunday
Wilson (hip) is inactive Sunday against the Jets.
Analysis: Wilson's inability to suit up should not come as a surprise, as he was considered doubtful for Week 18.

Both Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle should be candidates to handle those opportunities against the Jets.

Wilson (hip) is unlikely to play in Week 18 versus the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Head coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that Wilson will be doubtful to play in the Dolphins' regular-season finale Sunday. The wide receiver will nurse his hip injury as Miami takes on New York in a must-win contest for their playoff hopes. In his absence, Tyreek Hill could take over as the team's primary punt returner.

Makes only catch memorable
Wilson secured one of two targets for 21 yards during Saturday's 32-29 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Wilson's only grab came in the form of a leaping contested catch midway through the fourth quarter, an impressive play that could potentially earn him more playing time down the stretch. The Dolphins have financial incentive to get Wilson more involved, after handing him a three-year, $22.8 million contract in the offseason, and this is a much-needed glimmer of the playmaking abilities he displayed while going 45-602-6 with the Cowboys in 2021.

Hauls in both targets
Wilson secured both of his targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Wilson benefited from increased involvement with River Cracraft (calf) inactive, managing to put up his fifth-best yardage total of the season. Still, the depth wideout failed once again to crack 50 percent of offensive snaps, and he hasn't recorded a single game with at least 30 receiving yards on the year. He remains off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 15 contest against Buffalo.

Wilson secured his lone target for seven yards during Sunday's 39-17 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Wilson was again overshadowed by Trent Sherfield, who turned in a 5-63-1 line versus Cleveland and has clearly established himself as the Dolphins' No. 3 wideout. On the bright side, Wilson's played his highest percentage of offensive snaps (30) since Week 2. Still, the 26-year-old remains definitively off the fantasy radar heading into Miami's bye week.

Analysis: Wilson recorded a catch for the first time since Week 5 while playing 25 percent of offensive snaps Sunday, a sign of growing involvement on offense. Coach Mike McDaniel has alluded to Wilson's role potentially increasing as the season continues, so though he continues to work behind Trent Sherfield for the time being, it could be worth monitoring the 26-year-old in deep fantasy formats.

Third straight zero-target game
Wilson was not targeted during Sunday's 31-27 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Wilson has only been targeted in three out of seven appearances this season, and he hasn't drawn a single look in the passing game since Week 5. Trent Sherfield looks clearly solidified ahead of Wilson as the No. 3 wideout. Though coach Mike McDaniel said he anticipates Wilson's role growing in the future, he is essentially without fantasy value at the moment.

Role should grow
Coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that Wilson "will continue to become more featured in our offense," David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Wilson hasn't been targeted in back-to-back contests, though McDaniel said that's partially due to the rib injury he dealt with early in the season. McDaniel also said Wilson's lack of involvement is more about the fact that Trent Sherfield has been more effective with his opportunities, per Furones. Sherfield currently has a grip on the No. 3 receiver role, but if Wilson can truly progress in Miami's scheme, he could get more involved and move up the depth chart as the season continues.

Not targeted again
Wilson was not targeted during Sunday's 16-10 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Wilson has now gone back-to-back games without a target, but more worryingly, he played just six percent of offensive snaps Week 7 while Trent Sherfield handled 56 percent. There's no indication that the 26-year-old could be considered a viable fantasy option heading into a Week 8 matchup against Detroit.

Held without a catch
Wilson was not targeted during the Dolphins' 24-16 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Wilson was silent while Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle drew 15 and 10 targets, respectively, in a game that saw Teddy Bridgewater pass for over 300 yards after replacing Skylar Thompson (thumb) in the second quarter. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) could return to the starting lineup in Week 7 versus Pittsburgh, but even if Miami's offense gets its rhythm back, Wilson can safely be left out of fantasy lineups until he shows some flashes of the big-game upside he demonstrated in Dallas last season.

Wilson secured two of four targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 40-17 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Wilson's production was middling, as has been the norm this season, though it's worth noting that the entire Dolphins' passing game was limited with No. 3 quarterback Skylar Thompson under center for almost all of Sunday's loss. It remains to be seen whether either Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) or Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) will be available to retake the field Week 6, or if Thompson will draw his first career start.

Analysis: Wilson was inactive for last Thursday's game against the Bengals, but his return to a full practice Wednesday sets the stage for him to rejoin the mix this weekend against the Jets.

The Dolphins' No. 3 wideout appears to be trending toward a questionable tag for Sunday's game against the Bills, but he at least has a chance to play.

If Wilson misses the Dolphins' game against the Bills this weekend, rookie fourth-round pick Erik Ezukanma could have an opportunity to make his NFL debut.

Analysis: Wilson secured both of his targets for 20 yards during Sunday's season opener, but he presumably picked up a toe injury as well. The extent of the issue remains unclear, but if he isn't upgraded to a full participant Thursday or Friday, his status for Week 2 could be in serious jeopardy.

Makes two grabs in Dolphins debut
Wilson secured both of his targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 20-9 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Wilson doesn't have tremendous target share upside operating behind both Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but the skilled separator should have better days ahead in Mike McDaniel's offense. The No. 3 wideout's more productive weeks may be difficult to predict, though, so Wilson is likely only on the fantasy radar in extremely deep leagues or best-ball formats.

One reception in preseason finale
Wilson recorded one reception on one target for 16 yards in Saturday's 48-10 preseason win over Philadelphia.
Analysis: Wilson caught his first pass from Tua Tagovailoa in game action, though he tallied four receptions for 45 yards across the team's three exhibition games. After signing in Miami during the offseason, Wilson figures to serve as the team's third receiver behind Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill to begin the regular season.

Catches on with Miami
Wilson agreed Monday with the Dolphins on a three-year, $22.8 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Wilson becomes the second Dallas receiver to head elsewhere in the past three days, as the Cowboys previously dealt Amari Cooper to the Browns on Saturday. According to Rapoport, Wilson will get $12.75 million guaranteed in the deal, with the big salary increase he'll be receiving not leaving Dallas with the flexibility to retain both him and Michael Gallup, who re-signed with the team on a five-year, $62.5 million deal.

Takes step forward in 2021
Wilson secured 45 of 61 targets for 602 yards and six touchdowns while rushing twice for 11 yards across 16 appearances in 2021.
Analysis: Wilson struggled to make much of an impact during his first two professional seasons, but he was much more involved in the team's offense with Michael Gallup (knee) out for a significant portion of the season. The 26-year-old's target share was somewhat inconsistent on a week-to-week basis, but he topped 100 yards twice across his final six appearances of the regular season. Whether he's able to maintain his production once Gallup returns to the field in 2022 remains to be seen, but it was…read more

Steps up with two scores
Wilson caught five of six targets for 119 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 51-26 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Wilson again saw his role expanded in the wake of Michael Gallup's (knee) season-ending injury and excelled with his newfound opportunity. In fact, Wilson's yardage output marked a career high, as he led the Cowboys in the category while tying Amari Cooper for the team's best catch tally. Notably, though, Wilson also found the end zone twice, scoring from 14 yards in the first quarter before hauling in a 24-yarder in the second. As Dallas now turns its attention toward the playoffs, Wilson's…read more

Scores TD against Cardinals
Wilson caught all six of his targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Cardinals. He also caught a two-point conversion.
Analysis: Moving into a more prominent role in the second half after Michael Gallup (knee) left the game, Wilson became a big part of the Cowboys' late comeback attempt, catching a two-yard TD from Dak Prescott early in the fourth quarter and then hauling in a two-point try after Amari Cooper's score inside the final five minutes. With Gallup's injury feared to be serious, Wilson will move back into the No. 3 wideout spot on the depth chart for Week 18 against the Eagles and into the playoffs.

Quiet in win
Wilson caught two of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 56-14 win over Washington.
Analysis: On a night when the Cowboys offense was dominant, Wilson had a very quiet performance. The veteran wideout played on just 36 percent of the team's offensive snaps, limiting his opportunities in the contest. Wilson has been serviceable as the Cowboys' No. 4 receiver, but with CeeDee Lamb, Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup all healthy, he'll hold little fantasy value going forward.

Invisible in Week 15 win
Wilson was not targeted during Sunday's 21-6 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Wilson only played one offensive snap with CeeDee Lamb, Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup all finally on the field together. The No. 4 wideout has proven an ability to step up when called upon, but it appears that he can safely be left off the fantasy radar as long as Dallas' receiver room remains at full strength.

Tests positive for COVID-19
Dallas placed Wilson on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after he tested positive for the virus earlier in the day, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Wilson becomes the 20th Cowboys player to land on the list since August and the fourth receiver to test positive for the virus during that time. Unless Wilson is unvaccinated, he'll still be eligible to play Sunday against the Giants, but he'll first need to be asymptomatic for a 48-hour period and test negative for the virus on two occasions at least 24 hours apart.

Wilson caught both his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over Washington.
Analysis: With the Cowboys' top three wideouts (Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup) all healthy, there weren't many looks left over for Wilson. Wilson's fantasy value will remain minimal heading into a Week 15 clash with the Giants.

Cleared for Week 14
Wilson (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Washington, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Wilson was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but got the all-clear following a full session Friday. He'll be relegated to a depth role on offense with Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup all healthy, but Wilson could be tasked with taking on kick return duties, as usual return man Tony Pollard (foot) is questionable and hasn't practiced at all.

Wilson (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: One week removed from not practicing at all before being ruled out for last Thursday's game at New Orleans due to an ankle issue, Wilson has managed back-to-back capped sessions to kick off Week 14 prep.

Returns to practice as limited
Wilson (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Wilson picked up an ankle injury during Dallas' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Raiders, and the issue kept him out of practice last week and didn't allow him to play last Thursday at New Orleans. As such, his return to practice Wednesday marks his first activity since Week 12 prep. Wilson will have two more chances to be a full participant Thursday and/or Friday before the Cowboys potentially tab him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at Washington.

Wilson (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game in New Orleans, Ed Werder of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Wilson had season highs for targets (10) and yards (104) in the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day loss to Las Vegas, handling a larger-than-usual role with both CeeDee Lamb (concussion) and Amari Cooper (COVID-19) unavailable. Wilson injured his ankle along the way however, while Lamb is now off the injury report and Cooper is listed as questionable but expected to play. Noah Brown is the likely No. 4 receiver with Wilson out, or potentially the No. 3 option in the event Cooper doesn't end up playing.

Analysis: In the Cowboys' last two games Wilson has earned more snaps than usual, logging a 63 percent share in Week 11 at Kansas City and 74 percent in Week 12 against the Raiders. The increased work was courtesy of Amari Cooper (COVID-19) sitting out both of them and CeeDee Lamb missing Thanksgiving's contest with a concussion.

Sits out practice with ankle injury
Wilson didn't participate in Monday's practice due to an ankle injury he sustained in the Cowboys' 36-33 overtime loss to the Raiders on Thanksgiving Day, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: While CeeDee Lamb (concussion) and Amari Cooper (reserve/COVID-19 list) sat out the Week 12 contest, Wilson handled his second-largest offensive snap share (74 percent) of the season and established new bests in catches (seven), receiving yards (104) and targets (10) in the loss. Both Lamb and Cooper are expected to make it back for this week's Thursday game in New Orleans, so Wilson's status suddenly looks the murkiest among Dallas receivers.

Big day in losing effort
Wilson caught seven of 10 targets for 104 yards in a 36-33 overtime loss to the Raiders on Thanksgiving.
Analysis: With Amari Cooper (COVID-19) and CeeDee Lamb (concussion) both sidelined, Wilson took advantage of the opportunity to lead the Cowboys in catches and targets while falling two yards shy of Michael Gallup for the team lead in receiving yards. The 100-yard performance was only the second of Wilson's career, but he could have a hard time maintaining a big role in the offense in Week 13 against the Saints as Cooper, at least, is expected to rejoin the lineup.

Four grabs in Sunday's loss
Wilson caught four of seven targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: With Amari Cooper (COVID-19) unavailable, Wilson moved back up to the No. 3 spot on the Cowboys' depth chart at wide receiver, and his role increased even further after CeeDee Lamb left the game due to a concussion. Unfortunately, a couple drops prevented him from fully taking advantage of his increased looks. With Dallas facing a short week before a Thanksgiving Day clash with the Raiders, Wilson figures to see elevated volume once again.

Does little on five targets
Wilson caught two of five targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: The Cowboys offense was stuck in neutral most of the day, with Wilson's performance an accurate reflection of the effectiveness of the team's passing game as a whole. The 25-year-old's window for fantasy value may have closed with a whimper if Michael Gallup (calf) is able to return to action and reclaim the No. 3 wideout spot Week 10 against the Falcons.

All three of Dallas' top wideouts turned in strong fantasy games, with Wilson posting a new season high in receiving yards.

Analysis: While offensive coordinator Kellen Moore didn't use Wilson on any gadget plays this time around, the third-year receiver instead set new season highs in catches, targets and receiving yards. With the Cowboys on their bye Week 7, Michael Gallup (calf) might be ready to come off IR for a Week 8 game in Minnesota, but Wilson still should have some role in the offense even once Gallup is back.

Wilson caught both his targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Dak Prescott's four TDs all went to different targets, and Wilson got the last of them late in the third quarter to give the Cowboys a 33-14 lead. The 25-year-old wideout has caught exactly two passes in three straight games while Michael Gallup (calf) has been sidelined, but he's made the most of his chances with touchdowns in consecutive weeks. Assuming Gallup isn't ready to return Week 5, Wilson will have some appeal as a deep-league dart throw against the Giants.

Tendered by Dallas
The Cowboys are placing an original-round tender on Wilson, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Wilson will play under at least a $2.13 million salary next season, and the Cowboys will have the option of matching any offer sheet he receives. The 2018 sixth-round pick emerged as a valuable depth receiver last season, and he flashed big-play ability on occasion (5-107-2 versus Seattle in Week 3). Of course, behind Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup, Wilson's offensive opportunities could be few and far between.

Goes without target on Thanksgiving
Wilson did not garner a target over 12 offensive snaps during Thursday's 41-16 loss to Washington. His lone rush attempt went for a one-yard loss.
Analysis: Wilson will forever be tied to a dumbfounding coaching decision by Mike McCarthy and the Cowboys special-teams group, as his rush attempt on a fake punt in the fourth quarter failed miserably, turning the tide permanently in Washington's favor.

Posts one catch in loss to Steelers
Wilson hauled in one of his three targets for six receiving yards during Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: With a pair of drops over his first 25 targets of 2020, it comes as no great surprise that Wilson's workload has been curtailed in recent weeks. Certainly a season-ending ankle injury to the electrifying Dak Prescott has factored into Wilson's reduced production as well. The 2018 sixth-round draft choice has just one catch on five combined targets over his past three outings, after collecting 173 receiving yards on 20 targets between Weeks 3 and 6.

Wilson recorded no receptions on two targets during Sunday night's 23-9 loss to Philadelphia.
Analysis: Wilson was heating up over Dak Prescott's final three appearances of the year between Weeks 3 and 5, but a season-ending ankle injury to the star quarterback fizzled out the receiver's production. The Boise State standout collected 12 receptions for 163 yards and two touchdowns during that three-week span, but he's gone catchless over his past two games with Andy Dalton (concussion) and Ben DiNucci under center.

Analysis: Wilson has played between 20 and 30 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the last four games, totaling 14 catches (on 20 targets) for 173 yards and two touchdowns. The vast majority of that production (5-107-2 on seven targets) came Week 3 at Seattle, and with the change from Dak Prescott (ankle) to Andy Dalton under center, it may be difficult to project much production from Wilson on a week-to-week basis.

In this game, Wilson took a pitch from Prescott on an apparent reverse, only to throw the ball back to a wide-open QB for a score. With Prescott now lost for the season, however, and Andy Dalton taking over under center, Wilson's role could change or even disappear if the offense puts more emphasis on the running game.

Analysis: While he predictably didn't come close to matching his two-TD performance from the week before, Wilson still saw a surprising amount of action in another late comeback attempt by Dallas, and he even got more targets than Michael Gallup. Wilson could be less involved in the passing game Week 5, however, if the Cowboys can avoid digging a big hole against the Giants.

Career day in Seattle
Wilson caught five of seven targets for 107 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: The 25-year-old came into the game with only five catches for 46 yards in his career, but Wilson blew those numbers out of the water while scoring his first two TDs in the NFL. Both scores came on similar routes, as Wilson caught slants from Dak Prescott in the second and third quarters and took them to the house, with the receptions going for 40 and 42 yards, respectively. Despite the huge performance, he's still the No. 4 man on the depth chart, and Prescott won't attempt more than 50 passes…read more

Solidifying hold on No. 4 WR spot
Wilson spent extra time working out with Dak Prescott in the offseason and has put together an impressive camp to date, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: A sixth-round pick in 2018, Wilson has good size and athleticism but hasn't yet been consistently healthy enough to make any kind of impact for the Cowboys. Even if he avoids further injuries, there aren't likely to be a lot of targets available in an offense that already needs to account for Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, 2020 first-round pick CeeDee Lamb and Ezekiel Elliott, but Wilson at least seems to be locking down the No. 4 spot on the wide receiver depth chart.

Set for 2020
Wilson (knee) is ready to go for the upcoming season, John Owning of DallasNews.com reports.
Analysis: Wilson's 2019 season ended in December due to a knee injury. The issue was not considered especially serious and surgery was not required, and he now appears on track to hit the ground running in 2020. The 24-year-old suited up for just six games prior to going down with the injury and recorded five receptions for 46 yards in the process. While Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup and rookie CeeDee Lamb are clearly on top of the Cowboys' receiving pecking order, Wilson is a strong candidate to…read more

Heads to IR
Wilson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: Wilson avoided a serious knee injury and won't need surgery, but he'll be shut down for the rest of the year. The second-year pro out of Boise State played in six games this year, hauling in five of eight targets for 46 yards while also contributing as a returner. Wilson will aim to get healthy for the team's offseason program.

Avoids surgery
Wilson has been diagnosed with a sprained knee, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The good news for Wilson is his ACL is okay, so his recovery will be much shorter than initially feared. The bad news is the Boise State product is a candidate for injured reserve given how late it is in the season. Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News added that the 24-year-old is projected to miss four to six weeks.

On crutches Thursday
Wilson was spotted on crutches following Thursday's loss to the Bears, noting that while an X-Ray he received did not show structural damage to his injured left knee, he will undergo an MRI Friday, Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Wilson appeared to tweak his left knee during the waning moments of the fourth quarter while attempting to haul in a long pass. It sounds as if the receiver's injury may be serious, in which case Devin Smith would figure to see more snaps. Wilson only has five catches for 46 yards on the year, however, so his absence shouldn't create much of a gap in the Cowboys' passing attack.

Will watch from sidelines Sunday
Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Wilson is scratched for a third straight contest. The second-year pro was only deployed when injuries surfaced, so it's not surprising that he's sitting out since the Cowboys have five healthy wideouts.
