Patriots third-year wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson hauled in eight of twelve targets for 99 yards against the Giants during Thursday’s preseason opener. He led the team in all three aforementioned statistical categories. New England ultimately lost to New York on a field goal as time expired. The final score was 23-21.
Fantasy Impact: Wilkerson has appeared in four games over the last two seasons. All eight of his production came in Week 17 of 2021 when he racked up four catches, 42 yards, and two touchdowns. Wilkerson presumably has a leg up on his competition given his experience in the New England offense, but it’s still not a guarantee that he wins a roster spot. Even if he does, he can be left on fantasy waivers.
