What happened: Wilson sits atop the early 2026 regular-season contested-catch list at eight. Seven other players sit tied behind the top three.
Why it matters: Contested grabs extend drives where separation breaks down. Early separation on this list marks the league's most reliable tight-window targets.
By the numbers: Wilson 8, Olave 7, Smith-Njigba 6; seven players tied behind top three.
What to watch: Watch whether Wilson holds the lead into Week 4.
