Wilson recorded an assist and three hits during Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson now has a goal and four points in eight games since being promoted to the top line with Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom. This is certainly a more productive pace, but the 23-year-old winger will need to maintain or up his current production to retain such coveted ice time, so those in standard formats should monitor his minutes as the season moves on.

Wilson skated on the top line with Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov during Saturday's practice, Tarik El-Bashir of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
The power forward should see a significant bump in his ice tiime playing with the talented Russians. Wilson has only one assist to show for seven games thus far in 2018, but he has shown flashes of offensive potential during various stints in the top-six this season, so his fantasy value gets a significant boost in the short-term. He's worth rostering in all formats.

Wilson lit the lamp roughly two and a half minutes into Saturday's eventual 5-2 home win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
A rugged winger, Wilson's breakout campaign continues. He's now just one goal shy of matching his career high of seven -- a benchmark that he set in each of the past two seasons -- and the 23-year-old only needs six more points for a personal best in that critical fantasy category as well. If you're searching for a utility player who mixes offense with an abundance of PIMs, Wilson would seem to be the perfect fit.

Wilson recorded a goal, an assist, three shots on net, six hits and a plus-3 rating during Friday's 4-2 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson has been moved to the No. 1 line with Nicklas Backstrom and Alex Ovechkin, and it's been an instant fantasy success for the rambunctious winger. With Wilson's willingness to throw his body around and take penalties, his recent offensive outburst (three-game point streak with three goals and four assists) has his fantasy arrow pointing straight up. However, it wouldn't be shocking if this uptick in value was fleeting.

Wilson stepped up with two goals and two assists in a 6-2 win over Chicago on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wednesday night marked almost one-third of Wilson's output for the entire season, as he's only tallied 13 points on the year. Don't expect numbers like this to happen often; this was his first multi-point game of the year and the Capitals have too many weapons for him to find his way to the scoresheet very often.

Wilson picked up an assist during Thursday's 6-2 loss at the hands of the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
The power forward has six points in 16 games, which is an improvement over his production rate in recent seasons. Still, the first-round pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft is a volatile play outside of leagues that reward hits (40) and penalty minutes (55).

Wilson recorded an assist and seven penalty minutes during Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
The power forward was at the center of attention all night long and engaged in a spirited bout with Oilers heavyweight Patrik Maroon in the opening frame before setting up Dmitry Orlov's goal in the third period. The 23-year-old winger has excellent upside in deeper formats where his penalty minutes (48) and hits (34) are more advantageous, but he's also scoring at a better rate this year, so keep an eye on him in standard formats if the offensive totals pick up.

Wilson finished with two goals, five shots, and three hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
It was a banner night for the power forward who had arguably the best game of his career. The first-round pick from the 2012 NHL Entry Draft is a solid play in deeper leagues that count stats like hits and penalty minutes, but his overall fantasy value has been going up in recent outings as Washington's third line is starting to come alive, so he might be worth a look in your league.

Wilson finished with an assist and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
The burly winger has two points in his first nine games but is starting to look more comfortable on a third line with Lars Eller and Chandler Stephenson that has been on fire in recent games. The power forward will continue to be more valuable in deeper leagues that count hits and penalty minutes, but will have limited value in standard formats until he can become a more consistent point producer and power-play threat.

Wilson had an assist in Friday's 4-3 OT win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
With a whopping 16:16 of ice time following his promotion to the second line to the left of Nicklas Backstrom and T.J. Oshie, the power forward ends a three-game drought to start the season following a suspension that kept him out for the first four contests. His grasp on a regular top-six role is quite tenuous given that Andre Burakovsky is well-suited for a coveted spot. However, the 23-year-old winger's fantasy value gets a considerable boost as long as he's getting regular ice time with such offensive heavyweights, so enjoy the ride while it lasts in standard formats.
