STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Wilson's production spiked with injuries to Harrison and Murray; consistency remains unproven.

Wilson's 2025 season showed significant variance depending on roster health and quarterback. Under Kyler Murray (Weeks 1–5), Wilson averaged just 10.4 yards per game and was a role player. Over the next four games with Brissett, his average jumped to 44.8 yards per game. In the final eight games with Marvin Harrison Jr. injured, Wilson averaged 96.9 yards per game. Kyle Odegard noted this inconsistency as a concern: Wilson 'put up crazy numbers when MHJ was hurt and very little when everyone was healthy,' raising questions about whether his extension is justified if he cannot maintain production when the full roster is available.
