Michael Wilson. Going to be highlighting him here in a second, but congrats on becoming a very, very rich human being. Three years, $75 million extension. He just got paid, which is great. His numbers last year were amazing to end the year. Okay, wide receiver four from weeks eight to weeks 18 last year. That's incredible. Only Puka N Puka Nakua outscore him during the final two months of the season. And he looked good. There were some times though where it was garbage time induced. Specifically, 57.6 PPR points while trailing by three plus scores in the second half. Highest mark of any receiver over the last five seasons. Michael Wilson last year in eight games with Marv playing at least 70% of the snaps 67 yards per hour run. That was dead last among the sample of wide receivers. But with Harrison sideline, that number went up to 2.33. That was the 12th highest mark.
STACKED’s take
Late-season surge inflated by garbage time and Harrison absence.
Ian Hartitz expresses caution about Michael Wilson despite his recent 3-year, $75 million contract extension. While Wilson was wide receiver 4 from weeks 8-18 last year, Hartitz identifies significant concerns: (1) 57.6 PPR points came in garbage time while trailing by 3+ scores in the second half—the highest mark of any receiver over the last five seasons; (2) with Marvin Harrison Jr. on the field playing 70%+ snaps, Wilson averaged 0.67 yards per route run (dead last among the sample), but jumped to 2.33 yards per route run (12th highest) when Harrison was sidelined; (3) this production split suggests Wilson's late-season success was largely dependent on Harrison's absence and losing season context.
