Third straight zero-target game Wilson was not targeted during Sunday's 31-27 win over the Lions.

Impact Wilson has only been targeted in three out of seven appearances this season, and he hasn't drawn a single look in the passing game since Week 5. Trent Sherfield looks clearly solidified ahead of Wilson as the No. 3 wideout. Though coach Mike McDaniel said he anticipates Wilson's role growing in the future, he is essentially without fantasy value at the moment.

Cowboys Trade Option? Bring Back WR Cedrick Wilson The Dallas Cowboys have a depth problem at wide receiver, and trade talks have surrounded the club since before the start of the season.

Role should grow Coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that Wilson "will continue to become more featured in our offense," David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Wilson hasn't been targeted in back-to-back contests, though McDaniel said that's partially due to the rib injury he dealt with early in the season. McDaniel also said Wilson's lack of involvement is more about the fact that Trent Sherfield has been more effective with his opportunities, per Furones. Sherfield currently has a grip on the No. 3 receiver role, but if Wilson can truly progress in Miami's scheme, he could get more involved and move up the depth chart as the season continues.

Not targeted again Wilson was not targeted during Sunday's 16-10 win over the Steelers.

Impact Wilson has now gone back-to-back games without a target, but more worryingly, he played just six percent of offensive snaps Week 7 while Trent Sherfield handled 56 percent. There's no indication that the 26-year-old could be considered a viable fantasy option heading into a Week 8 matchup against Detroit.

OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Held without a catch Wilson was not targeted during the Dolphins' 24-16 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Impact Wilson was silent while Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle drew 15 and 10 targets, respectively, in a game that saw Teddy Bridgewater pass for over 300 yards after replacing Skylar Thompson (thumb) in the second quarter. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) could return to the starting lineup in Week 7 versus Pittsburgh, but even if Miami's offense gets its rhythm back, Wilson can safely be left out of fantasy lineups until he shows some flashes of the big-game upside he demonstrated in Dallas last season.

OCTOBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Logs two catches in loss Wilson secured two of four targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 40-17 loss to the Jets.

Impact Wilson's production was middling, as has been usual this season, though it's worth noting that the entire Dolphins' passing game was limited with No. 3 quarterback Skylar Thompson under center for almost all of Sunday's loss. It remains to be seen whether either Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) or Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) will be available to retake the field Week 6, or if Thompson will draw his first career start.

Logs full practice Wilson (ribs/toe) practiced fully Wednesday, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.

Impact Wilson (ribs/toe) was inactive for last Thursday's game against the Bengals, but his return to a full practice Wednesday sets the stage for him to rejoin the mix this weekend against the Jets. As long as Jaylen Waddle (groin/DNP on Wednesday) is available for the contest, however, Wilson figures to compete with Trent Sherfield for the Teddy Bridgewater WR looks in Week 5 that don't go in the direction of Waddle or Tyreek Hill.

OCTOBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive Thursday Wilson (ribs/toe) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Bengals.

Impact With Wilson sitting this one out, Trent Sherfield and River Cracraft are the top candidates to compete for the Week 4 snaps and targets that don't go to Miami's clear-cut top wide receiver options Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed questionable for Thursday Wilson (ribs) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Bengals, Adam H. Beasley of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Wilson was limited at practices throughout the week and has been deemed questionable for Week 4. The wideout suffered a toe injury during the season opener but also picked up a rib injury in Week 2, the latter of which appears to be more significant. While he was able to suit up in Week 3, he played a season-low five snaps and didn't see a single target. Jaylen Waddle (groin) is also questionable, so if one or both of the aforementioned wideouts is sidelined, Trent Sherfield and Erik Ezukanma would be candidates for increased snaps behind Tyreek Hill.

Remains limited Wilson (ribs/toe) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Wilson has been dealing with a toe injury since Week 1, but he also injured his ribs in Week 2 against the Ravens. Despite being a limited participant in practice last week, Wilson still suited up for Sunday's victory over the Bills. However, he played a season-low five snaps and failed to see a single target. With it being a short week and the Dolphins playing Thursday against the Bengals, his status is worth monitoring for single-game DFS contests, especially after Jaylen Waddle (groin) also showed up on this week's injury.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited on practice estimate Wilson (ribs/toe) is listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report.

Impact Wilson suffered a toe injury in the season opener and emerged from Week 2 action with sore ribs, and while he was limited Wednesday through Friday last week, he was able to suit up Sunday against the Bills. That said, he only managed to play five of 43 offensive snaps en route to no stats in the box score. Now, Wilson's status again will need to be monitored ahead of Thursday's game at Cincinnati.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Suits up Sunday Wilson (ribs/toe) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Impact Wilson, who approached the game listed as questionable after being limited at practice this past week, will give it a go Sunday and is in line to continue to serve as Miami's No. 3 wide receiver behind clear-cut top options Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. In that context, Wilson's not ensured steady weekly volume with Hill and Waddle on track to continue to log plenty of targets in the team's passing game.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable after limited practice Wilson (ribs/toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Impact Wilson's questionable designation comes as no surprise after coach Mike McDaniel said earlier Friday that the wide receiver's status would come down to a game-time decision. Friday marked Wilson's third limited practice in as many sessions heading into Sunday's clash between undefeated AFC East opponents.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Likely game-time decision Coach Mike McDaniels said Friday a final decision on Wilson (ribs) for Week 3 will take "up until game time," Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Wilson has worn a non-contact jersey at practices this week and will have limitations on his reps during Friday's session. The No. 3 wideout appears to be trending toward a 'questionable' tag for Sunday's game against the Bills, but he has at least a chance to play. Erik Ezukanma and Trent Sherfield could see increased work behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle if Wilson ends up missing time.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dons red jersey again Thursday Wilson (ribs) continued to practice in a red non-contact jersey Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact While it's good that Wilson's able to take the practice field, he will need to be cleared for contact before Sunday to have a realistic chance of suiting up against the Bills. More clarity on the status of Miami's No. 3 wide receiver should emerge once Wilson is given an injury designation Friday.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not taking contact Wilson (ribs/toe) is practicing in a red non-contact jersey Wednesday and will be listed as a limited participant on the Dolphins' official report, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Hera...

Impact Wilson avoided suffering any structural damage to his ribs during Sunday's comeback win over the Ravens, but he'll still be eased into Week 3 prep. If Wilson misses the Dolphins' game against the Bills this weekend, rookie fourth-round pick Erik Ezukanma could have an opportunity to make his NFL debut. The No. 3 wideout only has three targets through two games, as Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are established as Tua Tagovailoa's clear top receiving options.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Day-to-day with sore ribs Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Wilson is day-to-day with sore ribs after exiting Sunday's 42-38 win over the Ravens, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports...

Impact Fortunately for Wilson, medical imaging cleared him of any structural damage to his ribs, but his availability for the Dolphins' Week 3 contest with the Bills is up in the air for the time being. Prior to departing Sunday's game, Wilson played 21 snaps on offense and couldn't bring in his lone target of the day.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Sunday Wilson (ribs) was downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Baltimore, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Wilson was quickly ruled out after exiting the Dolphins' game against the Ravens on Sunday, thus limiting him to one target without a reception in Week 2. Since the exact nature and severity of this issue are still unclear, it will be worth monitoring the 26-year-old's status on Wednesday's injury report.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Injures ribs Wilson was forced out of Sunday's game against the Ravens with a rib injury, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Prior to his exit from the contest, Wilson did not record a catch on one target. Meanwhile, top wideouts Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill were busy in Week 2, working as QB Tua Tagovailoa's primary options in the passing game.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

In uniform Sunday Wilson (toe) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Impact Though he approached the game listed as questionable, Wilson will give it a go Sunday and is in line to serve as Miami's No. 3 wide receiver behind clear-cut top options Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. In that capacity in Week 1, Wilson logged 28 snaps while catching both of his targets for 20 yards in the Dolphins' 20-9 win over the Patriots.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Ravens Wilson (toe) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, David Furones of the Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Wilson logged consecutive limited practices after missing practice Wednesday. If he suits up, Wilson should remain a distant third on Miami's wide receiver depth chart behind speedsters Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Logs limited practice Wilson (toe) was limited at practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact We'll circle back on Wilson's status Friday, but he'll presumably need to practice fully in order to approach Sunday's game against the Ravens minus a Week 2 injury designation. If he's available this weekend, Wilson once again will be in line to work as Miami's No. 3 wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
