Garrett Wilson caught six of 12 targets for 83 yards and 11.3 half-PPR points in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders. His target share was 26% over his earlier games and 39% in Week 8. Over his last three games, Wilson has averaged 92% of snaps, 23% target share, 7.0 targets and 7.1 half-PPR points a game.

Wilson drew 12 targets in Week 8, but Adonai Mitchell drew nine targets in the same game. Wilson had three targets in Week 7 against Miami and nine targets total over his previous two games. Our models show Wilson scoring 3.9 half-PPR points a game below what his usage predicts over his last three games (166th of 178 receivers), so his role is worth more than his recent points. His wins above replacement of 1.02 at season pace ranks 21st of 191 receivers.

Garrett Wilson

Wilson drew 12 targets in Week 8, but Mitchell's involvement keeps his workload from being secure. Wilson has averaged 28% target share over his eight games this season and 23% over his last three. Over his last three games, his weighted opportunity rating is 0.52 (31st of 181 receivers) and his air yards share is 25% (51st of 181 receivers).

Our Roundup Score of 69 ranks him 23rd of 191 receivers, with role security scoring 97 (2nd of 191 receivers) and opportunity at 57 (24th). His projected 9.2 half-PPR points a game keeps him in the WR2 conversation when the targets arrive. He faces Kansas City in Week 9, and managers should monitor whether his target share holds closer to the Week 8 level or reverts to the lower marks from Weeks 6 and 7. Start him as a flex option with upside if the volume continues, but be aware that his recent floor has been inconsistent.

What to do

• Start Garrett Wilson as a flex option in Week 9, but monitor target distribution closely given Adonai Mitchell's involvement and recent usage concerns.

• Full-PPR managers benefit slightly more from Wilson's six receptions on 12 targets, though the inconsistent volume keeps his floor uncertain.

• Watch whether Wilson's 39% target share holds in Week 9 or drops back toward the 23% mark from his previous two games.
