2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wilson was on the field for a career-high 955 defensive snaps in 2024, though the results weren't particularly positive. He allowed opposing quarterbacks to post a whopping 141.6 rating when targeted, including 13.1 yards per reception and six touchdowns. His success in run defense wasn't much better, as his missed tackle rate spiked to 15.2 percent (per PFF) - the highest mark of his career since 2021. All of that suggests his job should be in jeopardy, but Dallas did little to reinforce their safety group this offseason. Wilson is the perfect example of the divergence that sometimes emerges between on-field performance and fantasy results, but IDP points should continue to roll in if Wilson remains on the field.

Upgrades to full participation
Wilson (neck) was a full participant for the Cowboys during Tuesday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson had been nursing a neck injury suffered in the Cowboys' Week 12 comeback win over the Eagles. The upgrade to full practice signals he is once again comfortable enough with the issue to play, as he did in the Week 13 Thanksgiving victory over the Chiefs. The starting safety should be set to suit up for Thursday Night Football against the Lions, barring any setbacks.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2021
Wilson wasn't able to repeat his breakout 2022 campaign, but he still recorded 88 tackles and two interceptions in 15 games last season. He also failed to produce a sack after racking up 5.0 the year before. The 29-year-old thrived in Dan Quinn's scheme as a hybrid safety-linebacker, but new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer may not use him the same way, putting Wilson's IDP utility in question in 2024 even if he seems locked into a starting role for Dallas.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to stay put
According to Clarence Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, there isn't much optimism that Wilson and the Cowboys will agree to a contract extension.
ANALYSIS
Wilson started all 17 games for the Cowboys in 2022, but his asking price may be beyond what the team is willing to offer, especially with Dallas also attempting to re-sign a few key free agents at other positions. If Wilson walks away in free agency, Dallas would still have a combination of Jayron Kearse, Israel Mukuamu and Malik Hooker -- who's recovering from thumb surgery -- available at safety.
