Wilson's breakout unsustainable; injury and elite Seahawks defense create landmine.

Wilson is a Week 9 landmine despite finishing as WR4 last week with 26.8 PPR fantasy points (8 receptions on 15 targets for 111 receiving yards and a touchdown vs. Dallas, earning a 37% target-per-route-run rate). Over the previous three weeks, he averaged only four receptions on 7.3 targets for 39 receiving yards and 8.4 fantasy points per game, totaling 7.3 or fewer twice. More critically, Wilson is dealing with two broken ribs and faces an awful matchup against Seattle's top pass defense. While Dallas has arguably the NFL's worst pass defense, Seattle has one of the top pass defenses, holding all other wide receiver units (excluding Chicago's 161 yards, 1 TD, 40 fantasy points) to 8.9 receptions for 91.7 receiving yards and 20.9 fantasy points per game with only four receiving touchdowns. Wilson has also struggled in his last three matchups against division rivals, averaging 22.3 receiving yards and 5.2 fantasy points per game.
