From the article

Wilson ranks ninth among all receivers in air yards since Week 4. He's only converted 40 percent of those air yards into real yards, down from 46 percent over the season's first few games. The problem is Jacoby Brissett's shocking inaccuracy on long balls. Brissett on the season has completed five of his 26 throws of more than 20 yards; he's 22 percent below his expected completion rate on those attempts.

Wilson's 40% air-yards conversion rate hampered by Brissett's deep-ball inaccuracy.

Wilson ranks ninth among all receivers in air yards since Week 4 but has converted only 40 percent of those air yards into real yards, down from 46 percent early season; the source attributes this to Jacoby Brissett's shocking inaccuracy on long balls (5-of-26 on throws over 20 yards, 22 percent below expected completion rate, ranking 36th of 40 QBs in EPA per pass on deep throws), though Arizona's 70 offensive snaps per game over the past four weeks should help.
