BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR45
ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson was the forgotten man in the team’s receiving core entering the season. Fantasy players had high hopes for Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride. Meanwhile, Greg Dortch was a popular sleeper candidate in deeper fantasy football leagues.
However, Wilson has been productive and consistent for fantasy players. The second-year pro is the WR47 for the season, averaging 7.4 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He has scored 9.1 or more fantasy points in three of the past four games, including last week.
Wilson has averaged 6.5 targets per game over the past month, totaling six or more in three of those contests. While he was dealing with an ankle injury in practice this week, the former Stanford star says he is good to go for Monday night’s matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Michael Wilson says he’s “good to go” with the ankle injury that limited him in practice yesterday

The Chargers have held wide receivers to 22.2 fantasy points per game, the sixth-fewest in the NFL. However, they gave up 35 fantasy points to the Denver Broncos wide receiver core in Week 6 on only 11 receptions.
Fantasy players can start Wilson as a low-end flex option in deeper leagues. However, he could have top-30 upside if Harrison misses the game with a concussion.
