New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. had six catches for a team-high 57 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's loss to the Denver Broncos. Wilson, along with Bub Means and Mason Tipton saw more opportunities than usual as a result of Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) being inactive in Week 7. After making one eight-yard grab in the first quarter, Wilson was uninvolved until the second half rolled around and even then the majority of his targets came when the game was well out of hand. The touchdown, a 12-yard strike from quarterback Jake Haener, came on the Saints' final drive of the game. The Saints' offense started the season red-hot but is now in shambles. Aside from the injuries to his fellow receivers, Derek Carr (oblique) is expected to need more time to recover and stand-in Spencer Rattler (hip) might have been injured on a sack late in the fourth quarter. The garbage time production produced a handsome fantasy score but Wilson isn't a viable option in most leagues. His showing on Thursday brings his season-long numbers to nine catches for 88 yards and one touchdown.
Wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. (ankle) popped up on the New Orleans Saints injury report earlier this week but got a full practice in the day ahead of their Thursday night matchup against the Denver Broncos. Wilson was limited in the team's earlier sessions but carries no injury designation going into Week 7. With Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) both ruled out there is an opportunity for Wilson to see more snaps than usual. That may not result in much fantasy value, though. Olave's early departure in Week 6 afforded Wilson three targets while stand-in quarterback Spencer Rattler gave most of his attention to rookie wideout Bub Means. Even without Patrick Surtain (concussion), Denver still boasts a formidable secondary and their pass rush will give Rattler fits. Wilson is not a viable option in fantasy in Week 7.
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. (ankle) was limited for the second straight day ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Denver Broncos. It appears Wilson picked up an ankle injury over the weekend and is uncertain to play this Thursday. Wilson has been quiet this season, but he posted his best game of the season last week. He hauled in two of his three targets for 28 yards in the loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Normally, Wilson would be a non-factor in the offense, but the Saints are banged up right now. Both Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) are on the injury report and in danger of missing Thursday's game. If that happens, Wilson could end up with a bigger role in the offense.
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. (ankle) was a limited participant during Monday's practice estimation. Wilson has been nursing an ankle issue, but did suit up during the Week 6 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He hauled in two of his three targets for 28 yards in the loss. Wilson figures to continue playing through the issue, but the Saints are on a short week. Fellow wideout Chris Olave (concussion) didn't practice on Monday and might be sidelined for Thursday's matchup against the Denver Broncos. If that happens, Wilson could have a bigger role, but it's hard to imagine him being a viable fantasy option.
The New Orleans Saints have agreed to terms on a deal with wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. on Thursday. The salary is unknown at the moment, but it appears to be a two-year deal. The 28-year-old hasn't done much of the field since his breakout 2021 season with the Dallas Cowboys. After that, Wilson spent two years with the Miami Dolphins where he posted below average campaigns. This looks like a low-risk move for the Saints who are trying to add depth after moving on from Michael Thomas.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. had two catches for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to Baltimore. Jaylen Waddle (ankle) wasn't available, meaning additional targets were up for grabs. Although Tyreek Hill was the obvious beneficiary, Wilson at least turned one of his grabs into a trip to the end zone. That said, if Waddle doesn't return for the pivotal AFC East clash with the Bills in Week 18, Wilson warrants streaming consideration for those looking for a flex option.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. hasn't been fantasy-relevant all season and has racked up a total of 19 catches for 245 yards and two touchdowns. He has one game with double-digit fantasy points in PPR formats and he has only finished above WR40 once. Even though Jaylen Waddle (ankle) has been ruled out for this game, Wilson's lack of production makes him too risky to start in a fantasy championship game. On top of that, the Baltimore Ravens only allow 32.0 fantasy points per game to opposing receiver groups. Tyreek Hill will see plenty of work and then the rest of the passing work will likely be spread evenly. There should be better options than Wilson in Week 17.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. was targeted five times during Saturday's preseason finale but finished the game with just 29 yards. Now 27, Wilson was solid during his final season with the Cowboys back in 2021 but struggled to produce as a Dolphin last year. He's not on the fantasy radar as we approach the 2023 campaign.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. appears to be on the trade block this offseason. The organization is reportedly open to moving the 27-year-old, but finding a trade partner might be difficult. Wilson has an $8 million cap hit for the 2023 season. The Dolphins don't exactly need Wilson after signing Braxton Berrios this offseason. Wilson didn't bring much to the table for the Dolphins last season. He finished with 12 receptions, 136 yards, and zero touchdowns in 15 games. However, Wilson was productive with the Dallas Cowboys in 2021. He could be a decent contributor, assuming he finds the right system for himself.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. caught two passes for 23 yards against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. After going three games with zero catches (and just one target), Wilson bounced back with a fine outing in Week 9. Still, he remains a depth piece in the Dolphins' offense going forward and should be left on waivers in all fantasy leagues.
