Zach Wilson Fantasy Stats

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, it's possible Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa could be benched at some point this season. Although Rapoport added Tagovailoa's "play would have to really fall" off for head coach Mike McDaniel to consider a swap, it appears "a potential benching isn't off the table." There are many calling for the signal-caller to be removed from his spot atop the depth chart. If that's the case, the Dolphins might turn to Zach Wilson. The 26-year-old, selected No. 2 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, has been far from a reliable fantasy quarterback. In 36 regular-season contests, he's thrown for 6,325 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 25 interceptions while completing a miserable 57.1% of his attempts. For now, Wilson doesn't have much value for redraft participants. That may not change even if he takes over for Tagovailoa. On the other hand, Wilson can be stashed in deep Superflex dynasty formats, especially in leagues where quarterbacks are hard to come by. It's worth noting that Rapoport indicated that rookie Quinn Ewers would also be considered as a replacement for Tagovailoa as well as the Dolphins potentially making a trade.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Zach Wilson is active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. Wilson had been a healthy scratch for the first time last week, but his absence was short-lived as he returns to the backup role just one week later. While the former No. 3 pick will start the game on the bench, there's a chance that Wilson could see some playing time if Tua Tagovailoa continues to struggle and is benched again. Last week, the starter threw three interceptions against the Browns, and now, he has an even tougher matchup against the Falcons. When Tagovailoa was benched last week, he was replaced by Quinn Ewers, who made his NFL debut along the way. Ewers completed five of eight passes for 53 yards, but he has been demoted. back to the inactives list in Week 8. The Texas product is a healthy scratch, serving as the emergency third quarterback.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Zach Wilson came into Saturday's game against the Jaguars in the second quarter after Tua Tagovailoa stepped aside. He played ahead of rookie Quinn Ewers and put together solid numbers. Wilson completed nine of his 13 pass attempts for 80 yards, and he converted a big fourth-and-16 play that set up the Dolphins' second score of the day in their 14-6 victory over Jacksonville. Wilson finished the preseason with 327 passing yards and a 64.4% completion rate in three games, along with a passing touchdown and 19 rushing yards. Wilson played ahead of rookie Quinn Ewers, who has had a solid preseason. Ewers completed seven of his eight passes for 66 yards but did not lead a scoring drive. As the season starts, Wilson seems to have a firm grasp on the primary backup role behind Tua, but Ewers could figure in the mix further down the road.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Zach Wilson had an up-and-down performance in his team's preseason game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Wilson completed five of his nine pass attempts for 96 yards and led two touchdown drives, but also took four sacks. Wilson entered the game for Miami's second drive of the day and played through the team's first drive of the second half. The fifth-year signal caller is in his first season with the Dolphins after spending 2024 with the Denver Broncos and not appearing in a game. Wilson is the favorite to be Tua Tagovailoa's backup this year in Miami, although seventh-round rookie Quinn Ewers could push him for the role. Given Tagovailoa's extensive injury history, the Dolphins' QB2 role is one to monitor for fantasy managers.

Last week, Miami Dolphins quarterback Zach Wilson told the Associated Press that he still believes he can start. "I still believe I can be a starter in this league whenever that opportunity comes, and so I just try to put myself in the best situation...and do the absolute best that I can." It hasn't panned out for the 25-year-old since the New York Jets selected him second overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. Wilson was abysmal during his time as a Jet, but the team didn't do him any favors. After spending 2024 as a Bronco under head coach Sean Payton, the BYU product claims he learned much despite not seeing the field and plans to continue learning more under new head coach Mike McDaniel. "What's not to like?" he said. "You've seen how Tua's development has gone since he's been there. I'm just excited to be with those guys." Ideally, the Dolphins won't need to call upon Wilson's services in 2025. Though, if they do, it appears his confidence has grown in leaps and bounds.

Former Denver Broncos quarterback Zach Wilson reached an agreement on Monday on a one-year, $6 million fully guaranteed deal with the Miami Dolphins that can grow to $10 million, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. Wilson will return to the AFC East after he was taken second overall by the New York Jets in 2021 out of BYU. The 25-year-old flamed out in New York in his three seasons in the Big Apple before serving as the Broncos' No. 3 signal-caller last year behind rookie sensation Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham. The Broncos re-signed Stidham as their backup, leaving Wilson to sign with the Dolphins as insurance behind the injury-prone Tua Tagovailoa. Tyler Huntley, who spent the 2024 season as the backup to Tagovailoa in Miami, is an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The Dolphins will be in a dire situation if Wilson is forced to make starts for them in 2025.

The Tennessee Titans are interested in free-agent quarterbacks Zach Wilson and Mac Jones, according to Titans beat reporter Buck Reising. Tennessee is likely in search of a new starting quarterback after former second-round pick Will Levis posted a 2-10 record in 2024 behind 2,091 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. Wilson and Jones were both first-round picks in the 2021 NFL Draft and lasted just three seasons with the New York Jets and New England Patriots, respectively. The Titans could be looking to add competition to its quarterback room to pair with Levis, but there's also a chance the team will pick Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Denver Broncos impending free-agent quarterback Zach Wilson figures to draw interest on the free-agent market this offseason as a player who could compete for a starting spot in training camp, according to The Athletic's Nick Kosmider. Wilson worked as Denver's third-stringer in 2024, but he's only 25 years old and has five years of NFL experience. In addition to Wilson, Jarrett Stidham is also a free agent, and Kosmider doesn't envision both QBs returning to back up Bo Nix for a second straight year. The Broncos would be interested in having one of Wilson/Stidham back in 2025 to back up Nix, though. Kosmider predicts the Broncos will re-sign Stidham on a one- or two-year deal and add a developmental QB prospect on Day 3 of the NFL draft or through college free agency. If Wilson leaves Denver, he'll most likely settle into a backup role somewhere else.

Denver Broncos third-string quarterback Zach Wilson got pretty much all the run in the preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals at Empower Field on Sunday with rookie first-round starter Bo Nix taking a seat. In the 38-13 beatdown of Arizona, Wilson went 16-for-25 passing for 251 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while also carrying the ball two times for 22 yards and a rushing TD. Jarrett Stidham started the game and went 2-for-4 for 28 yards on just one possession. Wilson's best play of the day was a 46-yard touchdown pass to receiver Brandon Johnson in the fourth quarter. The 25-year-old QB also fumbled, but it was recovered by Denver. It was nice to see Wilson get some positive momentum heading into the regular season, but the former first-rounder is still expected to be Denver's QB3 behind Nix and Stidham when Week 1 arrives in two weeks.

The Denver Broncos are expected to carry backup quarterbacks Zach Wilson and Jarrett Stidham on their initial 53-man roster, according to comments from head coach Sean Payton following Sunday's preseason finale. In discussing the quarterback room of Wilson, Stidham, and rookie Bo Nix, Payton said, "I see the three of them making it." Nix has already been declared the Broncos' starter, and it sounds like both Wilson and Stidham will keep their jobs, too. It's unclear which signal-caller will be given the backup designation and which quarterback will serve as the emergency third-stringer on gameday, though it's worth noting that Stidham appeared to have the edge on Wilson prior to Sunday's preseason contest. Regardless of the exact depth chart, Nix is the only Broncos quarterback worth considering for a roster spot in fantasy football.
