Mack Wilson

I know it's a big no-no to not like Alabama defenders, but while watching Wilson, I didn't see a first-round talent. He can get lost in a play and lose track of the ball quite often. He also takes horrible routes to his assignment at times, allowing others to cut off his angle. He has a good understanding of zone coverage, but that's not a can't-miss prospect in my eyes.

Mack Wilson to get first NFL start

Cleveland Browns rookie linebacker Mack Wilson is slated to make his first NFL start in Week 3.

Fantasy Impact

The rookie linebacker has been pressed into action with Christian Kirksey placed on IR. Wilson was a highly debated prospect during the pre-draft process and fell all the way to the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He flashed his talent in the preseason and will look to prove he can do the same against the Los Angeles Rams tonight. Wilson is someone to consider for IDP owners who may be scrambling for a last minute defensive flex option with Damarious Randall and Morgan Burnett both ruled out.
