Wilson's elite man-coverage metrics exploit Browns' league-high 51% man rate.

Wilson is a safe start in Week 5 vs. Cleveland despite the Jets-Browns matchup not screaming fantasy value on the surface. The Browns rank 14th in EPA allowed against the pass but have given up the eighth-most fantasy points to both quarterbacks and tight ends and the ninth-most to wideouts. The Browns play man coverage at by far the highest rate in the league at a staggering 51%, with no other team above 37%. Among wide receivers who have run 50+ routes this season, Wilson ranks 10th in targets per route run versus man coverage (0.38), eighth in yards per route run (3.95), and second in fantasy points per route run.
