From the article

Wilson was left with scraps: 86 air yards while being targeted on a somewhat concerning 16 percent of his pass routes. 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. He ranks 36th out of 40 qualifying quarterbacks in EPA per pass on deep throws.

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

Wilson was left with scraps in Week 7, posting 86 air yards while being targeted on a concerning 16 percent of his pass routes. Though he ranks ninth among all receivers in air yards since Week 4, he has converted only 40 percent of those air yards into real yards (down from 46 percent early season), primarily due to Jacoby Brissett's shocking inaccuracy on long balls. Brissett has completed only 5 of 26 throws of 20+ yards (22 percent below expected completion rate) and ranks 36th of 40 qualifying QBs in EPA per pass on deep throws.
