News: 2 days agoWilson said after Sunday's 33-30 win at Dallas that he suffered two broken ribs during the contest, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Spin: Wilson missed some time spanning the second and third quarter to be evaluated for an undisclosed injury, but he was able to return to action, finishing Week 8 with eight catches (on 15 targets) for 111 yards and one touchdown while taking one carry for 17 yards. Considering he was able to play through the pain and serve as a favorite target for both QBs Jacoby Brissett and later Gardner Minshew, Wilson may not be in danger of missing additional time, but a rib injury has plagued him the last two games, so his status bears monitoring to see if that may be the case next Sunday in Seattle.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: After averaging 4.3 targets and 7.6 fantasy points per game during his first 38 NFL games, Wilson broke out with Jacoby Brissett under center during the final eight games of 2025, averaging 11.0 targets and 21.2 fantasy PPG. The stretch also coincided with Marvin Harrison Jr. dealing with health issues, and it's worth noting that Wilson's receiving lines in the four games Harrison was active weren't quite as good (3-40-0, 3-61-0, 4-34-0, 3-36-0). A healthy Harrison (along with TE Trey McBride) figures to lead to a return to earth for Wilson, but the 26-year-old did enough late last season to warrant WR4/flex consideration in drafts.
