Cedrick Wilson (WR, DAL) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

Cowboys wide receiver (WR) Cedrick Wilson is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup to target as a free agent addition for Week 5 of the 2020 NFL season.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues

ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: It's already been an erratic season for the Dallas Cowboys, who have surprisingly fallen to 1-3 despite putting up 31.5 points per game on the shoulders of Dak Prescott's league-leading (by a 364-yard margin) 1,690 passing yards.

WithDak off to an absolutely unconscious start through the first 25% of the regular season, nearly every healthy member of the Cowboys offense has gotten in on the action, as evidenced by the fact that six players have accumulated 141 receiving yards or greater, spanning from Amari Cooper (401 yards) at the top, down to our present subject, Cedrick Wilson.

Wilson, the 6'5, second-year pro out of Boise State, saw very little time on the field in his rookie campaign for the team that made him a late-sixth round pick, and that trend looked sure to continue two weeks into the 2020 NFL season, with Wilson not seeing a single target and taking part in just 4% and 5% of the offensive snaps, mostly being deployed with Special Teams. Then, in a Week Three matchup against the Seahawks, Wilson took part in 29% of offensive snaps and erupted for five receptions on seven targets, 107 yards, and two touchdowns.

The crazy thing is; he wasn't even the top receiver for the Cowboys in that contest, because Michael Gallup was busy with an eruption of his own, finishing with 138 yards and a TD. Wilson's showing wasn't the result of an injury-thinned lineup either, as Cooper, Dalton Schultz, CeeDee Lamb, and Ezekiel Elliott were all active and recorded solid days of production out of the passing game in their own right. The same cast of offensive characters took the field this past week against Cleveland, and while Wilson participated in 7% fewer snaps on offense and lost a considerable amount of the QB-attention he was getting in Seattle, at three catches on six targets for 34 yards receiving, he started displaying the consistency it will take to maintain his share of the receiving work and potentially increase it, particularly when he has already proven that he is capable of huge performances.

Indeeper leagues that reward receptions, Cedrick Wilson is an intriguing, high-ceiling option who is capable of worthwhile production even in games where Dak connects with five other Cowboys at a higher clip.
