Cedrick Wilson, SWR, Dallas Cowboys / Boise St. (1 Viewer)

[the lone star]

I think this guy will be an UTR fantasy player towards the end of the season, and I expect him to be the team's starting SWR in 2020.

What do you all think of him?

What's a "UTR fantasy player"?

I think you'd need to have real deep benches to carry this guy for a number of reasons: 1) low volume passing attack (don't expect that to change anytime soon with Dak under center); 2) signed Randall Cobb to play the slot; 3) borderline talent. I can see keeping him on a "watch list" and tracking any news on him but he's probably even less likely than any end of the bench flier type to ever pan out.

I'm not saying there shouldn't be a thread about him - deep stashes are always of interest - but he's not really on my radar.

UTR = Under the Radar?

I agree with you. It’s looking pretty grim for  him at this point.

 

[the lone star]

UTR = Under The Radar, yes.

Cobb was signed, sure, but he has injury issues. Cedrick might be next in line. Dak loves throwing it to slot guys, but yeah, you're right, team is run-first, so volume won't be there.

 

[Snorkelson]

He’s been on the roster when they didn’t have anything at wr and failed to stand out, so I don’t see any reason for him to do it now. With a deep wr class I can see them taking a wr late that could even bump Wilson off the roster.

Uh, no

He was drafted in April last year, hurt in July and was placed on IR

I stand corrected. I drafted him in an early draft last year but he seemed like a long shot from the get go. I thought he was drafted the year before.

Fwiw the coaches had nothing but great things to say about him last year before he was injured.

I have my doubts that he will be ff relevant this year with the other wrs in front of him

Dak loves throwing it to slot guys, 

What makes you say this? I dont recall Dak ever having a fantasy relevant slot wr

Well, compared to how he throws it to outside receivers. Cooper can play outside, but he's also pretty darn good in the slot too. 

I guess I should have rephrased that to say that Dak likes throwing it to the quick/agile guys that can get separation. Typically, those are guys you find in the slot, but there are some that can play outside as well, that's true.

I was just curious if you had actual stats to back this up, I guess not

Slot receivers seem to run short to intermediate routes, which the intermediate are where Dak is the worst

I cant see the Dallas Cowboys offense producing 3 fantasy relevant wrs and one of the top RBs.

I suppose it's worth adding.him to my watch list in case Cobb gets hurt all year, which could happen, and Gallup flops completely

 

[travdogg]

I think its entirely possible he's a better WR than Cobb. Cobb has lost almost all his explosiveness, and likely won't have the same rapport with Dak that he had with Rodgers.

I liked Wilson quite a bit last year, and was surprised he went as late in the draft as he did. Dallas wasn't a great landing spot, especially since they had drafted a better prospect in Gallup earlier, and have since traded for Amari Cooper.

He's certainly worth keeping an eye on in my opinion, but he's not a guy I'm super excited about. His best case is #3 target on a run first team.

Yeah, it all depends on your settings. I usually play in deep dynasty league formats, that's why I said he's UTR. If this is standard redraft, then lolololol, no, don't add him to your watch list.

 

[The Frankman]

Cedrick Wilson caught 5-of-7 targets for 107 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys' Week 3 loss to the Seahawks.

This stat line came out of nowhere and likely was just a product of game script. The Cowboys were chasing points for most of the game, forcing Dallas into more 4-WR sets than usual. Wilson was left open on a few plays and took those snaps to the house for scores. This likely will be a total outlier game for Wilson, but it's good to know he's the No. 4 receiver just in case Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, or CeeDee Lamb were to miss time.

[The Frankman]

Cedrick Wilson caught both of his targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Dallas' Week 4 win against the Panthers.

Wilson hauled in a wide open back-shoulder throw for a 23-yard touchdown in the third quarter, one of the Dak Prescott's three within that 15-minute span. Even with Amari Cooper (hamstring) banged up in the first half, though, Wilson mustered just two targets all afternoon. He continues to be a player best reserved for 14-team leagues as he continues to play from three-wide sets in one of the league's best offenses.

Ummm...shouldn't we be more interested in this guy?

If CD doesn't practice and Gallup isn't ready he's in a good spot with Dak now 100% and facing a DEN D minus V. Miller.

Not a peep from fantasy experts on this opportunity.

 

[jtd13]

Yes, he's a great streaming option if he's the wr2 this week. And a decent dart throw if he's the wr3.

Anyone rolling the dice here?

Thought about it briefly, then pivoted to Byron Pringle. Cooper being out in my 12 team 3WR league screwed me. You starting him?

I don't think so, I have Kirk as my WR1, and then i have Aiyuk and AJ Green, neither of whom I love and I have my eyes open for a lottery ticket.  Could roll edwards on my bench or quez, cedrick or I do have pringle on my wire too.  Cedrick intrigues me based on talent and game script
