  1. Albert Wilson

Similar to Mike Gesicki, Albert Wilson is a matchup nightmare for defenses because of his sheer speed. Personally, I believe Wilson is best suited in the slot but that spot is most likely given to Danny Amendola and Adam Gase said that Wilson will be playing outside more often than in the slot.

Either way, Adam Gase will use Wilson to his advantage and get the ball in his hands quickly and often. Wilson is elusive and has the breakaway speed that rivals Jakeem Grant.

Per PFF Albert Wilson was 3rd in missed tackles last season and had 17 on 42 receptions. Jarvis Landry had 19 missed tackles on 112 receptions. Last season Wilson was buried behind Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, and Kareem Hunt in Kansas City, and still managed to 554 yards, with an incredible 13.2 avg yards per catch.

If Wilson is a given a more prominent role in Miami than in Kansas City he should see staggering production. Whether or not Danny Amendola can stay on the field for all 16 games is in question, but if Amendola does struggle with injuries throughout the year, he will step right in and become a favorite target for Tannehill.
