Wilson's 66 targets might be second on his own team this season, but that mark is still good for eighth highest in the NFL. The potential concern: Separation ability. Wilson ranked 78th among 81 qualified WRs in ESPN's 'Open Rating' metric, which is meant to help quantify separation. This hasn't helped in the red zone, as Wilson has gone 0-for-8 on converting end zone targets into six points this season — no other wide receiver has more than four such scoreless targets.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Wilson's 0-for-8 red-zone conversion rate is worst in NFL despite 66 targets.

Ranked WR10 for Week 8 at DAL. While Wilson's 66 targets is second on his own team and eighth-highest in the NFL, a key concern is separation ability; Wilson ranked 78th among 81 qualified WRs in ESPN's 'Open Rating' metric. This hasn't helped in the red zone, as Wilson has gone 0-for-8 on converting end zone targets into six points this season — no other wide receiver has more than four such scoreless targets. Good news: The Cowboys bring out the most-efficient version of Jacoby Brissett in Arizona, and this year's defense remains rough (only Cardinals and Dolphins have been worse in EPA allowed per dropback). Joey Porter Jr. didn't shadow anyone on the Packers or Eagles in Weeks 6-7.
