Positive signalRole

Wilson's target share halved with Cooper's return; slot role diminished in Week 6.

Wilson's role diminished in Week 6 with Omar Cooper Jr.'s return from a four-game ankle injury absence. Wilson's first-read target share dropped from 39% (Weeks 2-5) to 19% in Week 6, and his slot route rate fell from 27% to 15%. Cooper ran 66% of his routes from the slot with a 33% first-read target share in Week 6. The Christian Gonzalez matchup may have contributed, but Cooper's alignment could make him more valuable from a fantasy perspective. With Adonai Mitchell and Breece Hall potentially entering the mix, Wilson's future fantasy value could take a hit. Panic meter: 2/5.
