Wilson surpassed Pittman as No. 2 WR; 23% target-per-route rate vs. Browns' weak slot D.

Wilson has quietly become one of Aaron Rodgers' favorite targets, averaging 6.2 PPR fantasy points per game with six targets in every game and coming off his best performance in Week 3 with 60 receiving yards and 15 fantasy points. He has surpassed Michael Pittman Jr. as the No. 2 wide receiver on Pittsburgh, ranking second on the team in first-read target share at 22.9% behind DK Metcalf and first in target-per-route-run rate at 23% among qualifying players. He is a sneaky good flex option Thursday night against Cleveland, which has surrendered 36.7 fantasy points per game to wide receivers and has struggled against slot receivers, allowing 2.7 receptions on 5 targets for 45.3 receiving yards, 0.7 TDs, and 11.2 fantasy points per game. Wilson has run 60.2% of his routes from the slot, the highest among Steelers' wide receivers, averaging 0.46 fantasy points per route run.
