Michael Wilson

With Marvin Harrison Jr. back last week, Michael Wilson tied him with a 17.5% target share and 23.3% first-read share that he turned into 36 receiving yards. Wilson had two red zone targets and one deep target. All things considered, anyone with Wilson in fantasy who was worried about Harrison Jr.'s return should be happy with this result. Harrison Jr. didn't coffin nail his usage in any aspect. Will Wilson and Harrison Jr. be volatile week-to-week as they fight for targets behind Trey McBride? Yep, absolutely, but this could have worked out way worse for Wilson. Since Week 6, Wilson has had a 19.8% target share, 74 receiving yards per game, 1.82 yards per route run, and a 25.1% first-read share. In those seven games, he has had nine red zone targets and nine deep targets. This week, Wilson is a solid play with an average to below-average matchup depending upon how you look at it. Since Week 9, the Rams have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points per game and ranked 18th in receiving yards per game against perimeter wide receivers.

Marvin Harrison Jr. returned and immediately supplanted Michael Wilson back to WR2.
MHJ hurt his heel in the fourth quarter after dominating the targets. Wilson had just three before he left. He did return, but his status is worth monitoring. Obviously, the sample size of Harrison dusting Wilson is very large, and nothing seemed to have changed that pecking order even after Wilson's impressive two-game stretch.
Wilson did still have 7 targets (two in the RZ) and 61 incomplete air yards - so lack of production wasn't necessarily tied to lack of volume/opportunity.
