While the production is not eye-popping for Cedrick Wilson Jr. in his 2022 numbers, he never really had a chance to be the guy in Dallas. In the current construction of the Miami Dolphins, this team is begging for a guy like Cedrick Wilson Jr.

Remember how crowded the WR room was last season in Dallas. In front of Cedrick Wilson Jr. were CeeDee Lamb, Amari Cooper, and Michael Gallup, and he split a lot of reps with Noah Brown.

This makes it nearly impossible to put up any sort of numbers that will draw attention. However, in the limited time he has been able to be a playmaker, he has not been disappointed. That being said, he still had 45 catches for 602 yards and 6 touchdowns.

Cedrick Wilson Jr. is quite honestly a freaky-talented athlete for the size he possesses. He is incredibly skilled in open space, with a variety of moves to shake and separate from nearly any defender. Not to mention his above-average speed that only adds another vertical threat for this team.

Cedrick Wilson Jr. will not be asked to be everything for this team, but for the first time in his career, he is going to be asked to contribute to a much higher degree. He gets a chance to be on the field much more often and play a role like a mix between DeVante Parker and Will Fuller.

So, let’s finally get into my realistic predictions for Cedrick Wilson Jr. in the 2022 season for the Miami Dolphins. I think this season he will have 67 catches for 835 yards and 6 touchdowns.

This will prove to be an unbelievable addition by Chris Grier and Mike McDaniel during this offseason. I look for the Miami Dolphins fans to fall in love with the work ethic and play style of Cedrick Wilson Jr., as well as him to have a breakout season for his career.
