Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Finds end zone again in Week 15
Michael Wilson caught five of 11 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Texans.Once again, Wilson was one of Jacoby Brissett's favorite downfield options in a blowout loss. Marvin Harrison has missed four of the last five games due to appendicitis and a heel injury, and in all four of those contests Wilson has seen double-digit targets, posting a massive 41-499-3 line on 60 targets during Harrison's absences. Harrison is expected to return before the end of the year, but if he's out again in Week 16 versus the Falcons, Wilson will be a must-start fantasy asset.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Positioned as WR1 for Week 15
Michael Wilson will operate as Arizona's top wide receiver versus the Texans on Sunday, with Marvin Harrison (heel) ruled out, Darren Urban of the Arizona 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.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Thriving in No. 1 receiver role
Michael Wilson corralled 11 of 16 targets for 142 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Rams.Wilson resumed the top wideout role for Arizona with Marvin Harrison (heel) back on the sidelines, and the results were the same as we saw in Weeks 11 and 12. The 25-year-old Wilson elevated his game for the third time in Harrison's absence, finishing with double-digit receptions in all three contests. Wilson completed the fantasy explosion with a pair of trips to the end zone, doubling the season total he entered Sunday's loss with. Harrison's Week 15 status is still uncertain, but Wilson should be treated as a WR1 in fantasy if the former misses next Sunday's matchup against Houston.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Heads injury-riddled WR corps again
Michael Wilson's teammates Marvin Harrison (heel) and Greg Dortch (chest) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.Wilson and Dortch both enjoyed spikes in production during Harrison's two-game absence, followed by steep declines in both targets and fantasy points when Harrison returned for last Sunday's 20-17 loss at Tampa Bay. With Harrison now out again, and Dortch joining him this time, the Arizona Cardinals are painfully thin at wide receiver behind Wilson. Even Xavier Weaver (questionable - hamstring) may not end up playing, in which case Andre Baccellia and various practice-squad promotions would be the favorites to take WR snaps alongside Wilson. It's a great situation to pile up targets, albeit against a tough defense that won't take Wilson lightly after his massive numbers in Weeks 11-12.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Targets plummet in Harrison return
Michael Wilson secured three of seven targets for 36 yards in the Arizona Cardinals' 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.Wilson had seen nearly a season's worth of work in the last two games with Marvin Harrison sitting out due to an appendectomy, with the former producing a 25-303-0 line on 33 targets. However, the third-year pro unsurprisingly saw a noteworthy reduction in opportunities with Harrison's return, although his target tally did tie for his highest of the season outside of the aforementioned pair of contests. Wilson likely will remain in a clear complementary role moving forward for as long as Harrison remains healthy, although he could have another solid target count in a Week 14 home showdown against the Rams.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Getting Harrison back in WR mix
Michael Wilson will have additional competition for WR reps during Sunday's game in Tampa Bay with Marvin Harrison (appendix) active and back in the lineup.Wilson has been a monster for fantasy purposes during Harrison's two-game absence after the latter underwent an appendectomy, putting together a 25-303-0 line on 33 targets during that stretch. Prior to his run as the Arizona Cardinals' No. 1 WR, Wilson had a 22-231-1 line on 38 targets in the first nine contests of the campaign, so the presence of Harrison likely means he'll settle somewhere between those workloads Sunday. Having said that, the Buccaneers defense has been giving up chunk plays to wide receivers over the last two weeks, conceding 16.2 yards per catch, 9.8 yards per target and three TD receptions, so Wilson still is a good bet to produce, especially if Harrison isn't operating at 100 percent.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Continues to thrive as No. 1 WR
Michael Wilson hauled in 10 of 15 targets for 118 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to Jacksonville.Wilson is taking full advantage of teammate Marvin Harrison's (appendix) continued absence, with the former producing his second 100-plus yard performance in his second game operating as Arizona's top wideout. The ascension of veteran backup Jacoby Brissett's game since taking over for Kyler Murray (foot) can also be attributed to Wilson's rapid rise in the fantasy ranks. It is unclear how long Harrison will remained sidelined while recovering from appendix surgery, but it has become clear that Wilson should be treated as a must-start option in fantasy until that day comes. Harrison hasn't been ruled out for next Sunday's tilt in Tampa Bay, but there is reason to believe that Wilson could remain fantasy relevant even after his teammate's return given the way the Arizona Cardinals are airing the ball out.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Set for another week as WR1
Michael Wilson is positioned as the No. 1 wideout for Sunday's game against the Jaguars with Marvin Harrison (appendix) ruled out again, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.Wilson enjoyed a career day with Harrison sidelined during the Arizona Cardinals' loss to the 49ers in Week 11, securing 15 of 18 targets for 185 yards with zero touchdowns. While it's unlikely Wilson manages to reprise similarly exuberant target volume from quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who attempted a tremendous 57 passes against San Francisco, double-digit looks wouldn't be out of the question versus Jacksonville. Until such time as Harrison retakes the field, Wilson will continue to benefit from heavy enough involvement to warrant fantasy consideration, especially in PPR formats.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Career performance in Week 11
Michael Wilson reeled in 15 of 18 passes for 185 yards and no touchdowns during Sunday's 41-22 defeat to the 49ers.The Arizona Cardinals were quickly in catch-up mode Week 11, with QB Jacoby Brissett eventually attempting 57 passes and completing 47 of them to set a single-game NFL record in the latter category. Wilson was the biggest beneficiary in the absence of No. 1 WR Marvin Harrison (concussion), but it was difficult to project such an outburst from the former, as his previous single-game highs were eight catches, nine targets and 95 receiving yards through two-and-a-half years as a pro. A repeat performance from Wilson is unlikely next Sunday against the Jaguars, but if Harrison remains sidelined, Wilson still should be heavily involved in Arizona's passing attack.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Poised for WR1 role in short term
Michael Wilson will take on the No. 1 WR role in the Arizona Cardinals offense for at least Sunday's game against the 49ers following Marvin Harrison's appendectomy Monday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.Wilson is in sole possession of third in most receiving categories among Arizona's skill-position players behind TE Trey McBride and Harrison. With Harrison's 6.9 targets per game now up for grabs for the foreseeable future, Wilson stands to benefit along with Greg Dortch, Xavier Weaver (ankle) and Andre Baccellia. Wilson has averaged 10.5 yards per catch and 6.1 yards per target this season, so even with the expected bump in volume he may not produce enough on game days to be a consideration in many fantasy formats.
