"I'm the best YAC receiver in the league, for sure," Wilson told ESPN's Cameron Wolfe. "Team is looking for me to make those plays. That's what I'm here for."

Wilson certainly has a claim. After finishing second to Detroit Lions wideout Golden Tate in YAC last season, the Dolphins receiver leads the NFL with 14.8 average YAC among wideouts with at least 20 targets, per Next Gen Stats. The next closest receiver is Quincy Enunwa at 9.3.

Wilson owns the top two "Incredible YAC" plays, a Next Gen Stats metric that calculates yards gained above expected YAC on a particular play. The top play was Wilson's 74-yard touchdown in Week 3 that had an expected YAC of five yards but went for 78 YAC. Sunday's 75-yard score had an expected YAC of 1 yard but went for 71 YAC.

it's not bragging if you can back it up and so far he's doing it. Worth his contract for sure.

It's still a punk thing to say IMO. I like him actually, but there are very few who can get away with talking chit, and not looking silly.

Deon Sanders would be an example of someone who could cover the checks his mouth wrote.
 
I like his confidence, I like his play on the field, and I like his work off the field. Keep talking... the Scrap is a listening.

Well last year wasn't he like top five in YAC? So it's not like he hasn't already been to this dance before.
 
He was kind of the fourth banana in Kansas City. Had some drops that irked the fans, only because the (arguably) most explosive receiver in the league, Tyreek Hill; top three tight end Travis Kelce; and one of the leagues most dynamic running backs, Kareem Hunt, were on the same offense. But they upgraded from Alex Smith to Mahomes so they only got better.
 
Alex Smith's noodle arm hindered Albert Wilson's style.

The Dolphins saw something they really liked when we played KC last year.
