2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wilson signed with the Saints this offseason. The receiver could compete with A.T. Perry for the No. 3 role. Wilson played 15 games for the Dolphins last year. Although Wilson played at least 33 snaps in 10 games, he failed to reach 300 yards. Going into his sixth season, it’s possible that Wilson’s career year was in 2021 with Dallas. In that season, the veteran posted 602 yards and six touchdowns. Wilson’s next best season represented less than half of his 2021 production. The most likely scenario is that Wilson settles in as the No. 4 receiver in New Orleans. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Veteran presence for Saints
Head coach Dennis Allen noted Wednesday that the Saints brought in Wilson to give "a little bit of veteran presence, somebody that's kind of been there, done that," Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson signed a two-year contract with the Saints on March 14 after spending the last two seasons with the Dolphins. His best season was in 2021 with the Cowboys, when he posted 45 catches for 602 yards and six touchdowns, all career highs. The Saints have a young receiving corps with Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and A.T. Perry, and Wilson figures to slide into a complementary role, similar to how he played behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle in Miami.

Wilson seems, on paper, like the perfect fit for coach Mike McDaniel's scheme, so it was underwhelming to say the least to see him limited to an 18-136-1 receiving line in the first season of his three-year, $22.8 million contract with the Dolphins. To stick in Miami it's possible Wilson might need to take a pay cut, but the team may still be intrigued by his potential. Wilson boasts the exact skill set the Dolphins need in a slot complement to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but he'll need to compete with Robbie Chosen and Braxton Berrios for complementary snaps.
