2024 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Tallies sack in blowout loss
Wilson recorded seven tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 47-9 loss to the Lions.
ANALYSIS
This was Wilson's first sack since the 2022 season, when he posted 5.0 sacks before failing to post a sack in 2023. Wilson now has 30 tackles (including Sunday's sack), an interception and an additional pass breakup through six games as the Cowboys' starting strong safety. He should remain a high-end IDP option with a solid floor from his tackling performance.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
The 28-year-old rebounded from an injury-marred 2021 to become one of the pillars of the Cowboys secondary last season, topping 100 tackles for the first time in his four-year career and recording a career-high five sacks while playing in all 17 games. Wilson pairs strong tackling with good coverage skills, making him an outstanding fit for coordinator Dan Quinn's defense, and the safety was rewarded with a three-year contract this offseason worth up to $24 million. If he can stay healthy, Wilson again should post excellent IDP production in 2023.

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.
