2 years agoThe Las Vegas Raiders have cut wide receiver
Albert Wilson. The 30-year-old was signed to the active roster in Week 5 but did not see the field for any offensive snaps. The team has now moved on following its Week 6 bye as
DJ Turner has been activated from Injured Reserve. Turner is expected to be involved on special teams but should not make much of an impact on offense unless
Hunter Renfrow (hip) and
Mack Hollins (heel) are ruled out against the Houston Texans on Sunday. Still,
Davante Adams would be the only receiving option worthy of fantasy consideration in this scenario.

2 years agoThe Las Vegas Raiders are signing veteran wide receiver
Albert Wilson to their active roster from the practice squad on Tuesday, according to his agents Drew Rosenhaus and Ryan Matha. The Raiders added Wilson to their practice squad last Friday. This could be a sign that the Raiders are expecting
Davante Adams to be suspended after pushing a photographer following the Monday night loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Raiders also lost tight end
Darren Waller (hamstring) to an injury in Week 5. Wilson will operate as receiving depth behind Adams,
Hunter Renfrow,
Mack Hollins and
Keelan Cole. In 14 games (five starts) for the Miami Dolphins in 2021, Wilson had 25 catches on 39 targets for 213 yards and no touchdowns.

2 years agoThe Las Vegas Raiders are signing veteran free-agent wide receiver
Albert Wilson to an undisclosed deal on Friday, according to sources. Wilson played in 14 games (five starts) for the Miami Dolphins last year, catching 25 passes on 39 targets for 213 yards and no touchdowns. He'll simply be providing veteran depth at the position behind
Davante Adams,
Hunter Renfrow,
Mack Hollins,
Keelan Cole and
Tyron Johnson, and he won't be on the fantasy radar at all. The 30-year-old has 218 career catches (334 targets) for 2,499 yards and 12 touchdowns in seven NFL seasons with the Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs.

3 years agoThe Minnesota Vikings have moved on from wide receiver
Albert Wilson in an attempt to trim their roster ahead of the regular season. Wilson, despite catching a pair of touchdowns in the team's season opener, faced an uphill battle to make the Vikings' roster with the team's depth at the position. The 30-year-old has spent seven seasons between the Chiefs and Dolphins, having started five games with Miami as recently as last year. Now 30 years old, the undrafted free agent will be looking for a new home ahead of Week 1, with his fantasy prospects set to be held in abeyance until then. The duo of
Justin Jefferson and
Adam Thielen figure to see as many pass-catching opportunities as they can handle, leaving
K.J. Osborn as the only other potentially fantasy relevant pass-catcher.
