Kansas City Chiefs Top Fantasy Football Scorers: #9

Albert Wilson – WR

Truth be told, it really wasn’t a disappointing Fantasy Football season for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Albert Wilson. After the Chiefs brought in Rod Streater this offseason, many felt it was a foregone conclusion that Wilson was gone. Instead, he kept his job and out-performed Streater all year long.

Here is how Albert Wilson’s performance stacked up in 2016:

  • 46 points (2.9 per week)
  • T-90th out of all WRs
  • Owned by 0.2% of teams
  • Started by 0.0% of teams

I gave Albert Wilson the edge over Chris Conley because Wilson actually found the endzone this year, and on much fewer opportunities. Wilson was a classic “do your homework” guy. He only got his opportunities after injury knocked Jeremy Maclin out. So if a fantasy owner was paying attention, they might have gotten Wilson onto the field in a couple of key games.

2017 Draft Position: Undrafted

While I’m all for the Chiefs keeping Albert Wilson as a depth player, I won’t say that for Fantasy Football owners. I expect he will actually slide down the depth chart a little bit more in 2017, meaning even fewer chances. Don’t waste your time on this one.
