Those who watched in awe as electric Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson put on an impressive show in Sunday's overtime victory over the Chicago Bears might have been wondering why he has not seen more touches this season. Heck, I had been wondering it. Well, on occasion coaches simply outthink themselves. Wilson, the 5-foot-9 Georgia State product who had a decent run with the Kansas City Chiefs but never really got a shot to shine on any regular basis, sure did so in Week 6, with six catches for 155 yards and two long touchdowns.
Wilson entered play with a mere 22 touches in five games, most on short receptions he was tasked with turning into something big, and he caught touchdown passes in Weeks 2 and 3. He also threw a touchdown pass in Week 3, but fantasy managers had no reason to look his way this week, unless it was a deep league, because he simply was not a key option in the Miami offense. In addition, with Ryan Tannehill ruled out Sunday morning, Brock Osweiler started against Khalil Mack and the solid Bears defense. Still, it was no match for Wilson.
