• Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Makes most of decreased role

  3H ago • By RotoWire

  Wilson finished with two receptions on three targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-19 loss to Atlanta. WR Marvin Harrison (heel) returned to the starting lineup in Week 16 and pushed Wilson back into his usual No. 2 role on offense. The former saw only three targets in his return to the field while backup TE Elijah Higgins (7-91-0) surprisingly finished as Arizona's leading receiver Sunday. Wilson -- who was averaging 15.0 targets in games Harrison has missed this year -- made the most of his reduced opportunities by scoring a touchdown in the first quarter with the assistance of replay review. The 25-year-old Wilson's three targets are a concerning sign looking forward because the wideout has struggled to find the end zone with just two TDs (including Sunday's) in games Harrison has been active for. Wilson's upside takes a huge hit for Week 17, but he is still producing enough alongside Harrison to warrant starting consideration against the Bengals next Sunday.

• Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Harrison back in lineup

  9H ago • By RotoWire

  Wilson may cede some targets to Marvin Harrison (heel) in the latter's return to the lineup Sunday versus the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. The Cardinals are getting Harrison back following a two-game absence due to a heel injury, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that the second-year wide receiver is expected to be eased back in, meaning Wilson should remain the team's top option at the position Week 16. With Harrison sidelined four times in the last five contests, Wilson has compiled a 44-535-3 line on 67 targets during that span.

• Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Sleeper WRs

  2D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  It appears like Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) will play in Week 16 against Atlanta after missing the past two games, and that's bad news for Wilson, who has scored at least 16.4 PPR points in all four games Harrison has been out this season. With Harrison healthy, Wilson only has one touchdown and no games with double digits in PPR. But I'm still going to use him as a starter in three-receiver leagues because of the matchup against the Falcons, who are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers in the past five weeks. Over that span, eight receivers have scored at least 11.5 PPR points, including three tandems in Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legette, Jaxson Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp and Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. I like Harrison as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues, but Wilson should still be OK even in a secondary role.

• Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Top DFS Play

  5D ago • By Heath Cummings

  I am sure you guys would like for me to get more creative. But Wilson remains a screaming value. He is my WR3 on the main slate this week and he is priced as WR13, more than $2,000 cheaper than Ja'Marr Chase. As long as Marvin Harrison Jr. doesn't come back, Wilson should remain a fixture in your DFS lineup.

• Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Positioned as WR1 for Week 15

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Wilson will operate as Arizona's top wide receiver versus the Texans on Sunday, with Marvin Harrison (heel) ruled out, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. Wilson has dominated across the three games Harrison has missed since Week 11, finishing with double-digit catches and over 100 yards receiving in all three of those contests. Versus the Rams in Week 14, Wilson tallied a 11-142-2 line on 16 targets, with almost all of quarterback Jacoby Brissett's production being split between himself and tight end Trey McBride. While Wilson now faces a rough road matchup against Houston, Wilson seems assured of massive target volume for as long as Harrison is sidelined, making it difficult to consider him anything less than a WR1 for fantasy purposes.
