Fantasy Profile Snapshot 2024/2025

Stat	Total	Per-Game	Category Value
GP	81	—	✅ Durability
G	33	0.41	🔥 Impact
A	32	0.40	👍 Steady
PIM	100	1.23	💣 Impact

PPP	17	0.21	Situational
SHP	5	0.06	Bonus

2024 recap: 33G, 32A, 100 PIM, 233 HIT in 81 GP. A classic multi-cat hammer with real goal scoring.

Role & Usage

Line/Deployment: Top-six RW; can ride shotgun with top playmakers or drive a heavy second line.
Special Teams: PP1 net-front/bumper, playing with elite talent; PK Often PK2, lending an opportunity for SHP.
Team Fit: Washington still leans on Wilson’s physical identity; his game lives below the dots and along the wall.

Fantasy Outlook (This Season)

Best for: Multi-cat/banger formats (HIT/PIM/SOG + G/A).
Roster Value: Set-and-forget in bangers; A stream in points-only if PP time dips.
Risks: Suspensions/injury history; offense can be streaky if PP deployment changes.

With steady PP looks and top-six minutes, a 20–30 goal, 200+ hit, 80–100 PIM season is firmly in range.

Fantasy Playoff Schedule (Weeks 23–25)

Week	Dates	GP	Off-Nights 🌓 (Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun)
23	Mar 16–22	3	3
24	Mar 23–29	3	0
25	Mar 30–Apr 5	4	1

Verdict

Wilson is a foundational banger — even when points cool, his HIT+PIM floor keeps him rosterable. With PP1 touches, he’s a weekly edge in multi-cat leagues. If you're looking for PIMS, know that Tom isn't scared to pick up a quick 10 at the end of the night. His playoff schedule is not amazing at 3/3/4 but week 1 includes 3 off nights and then has 4 games when it matters most... In the finals.
