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.

Michael Wilson caught three passes for 36 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Bucs. 

Fantasy Impact

After a spectacular two-game stretch as the Cardinals’ WR1 in MHJ’s absence, Wilson was relegated to his WR2 role in Harrison’s return. With Harrison in the lineup, Wilson has surpassed 45 yards only once. Wilson will look to finish out the year in the WR4 range and will be an excellent spot start in case MHJ misses any more time.
