BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals receiver Michael Wilson has missed three of his last four games with a shoulder injury. The rookie has shown promise at times this year, but he seems to be behind other weapons in the team's pecking order.
Wilson is going to be a bit of a boom-or-bust receiver for the rest of the season. That's because Marquise Brown and Trey McBride all seem to be ahead of him on Kyler Murray's target hierarchy. Wilson's average depth of target is further down the field, which are more difficult passes to complete. Wilson has been effective this year, despite it being his rookie season. In nine games this year, he has five games with seven or more half-PPR points. That includes one game where he scored 23.1 points. However, he also has two games with less than three points and another two with less than five.
He's a full-time player for the Cardinals and the offense should be more effective over the second half of the season. Murray will also be more likely to throw the ball downfield as opposed to Joshua Dobbs. In his first game with Murray, he finished with five targets, three receptions, and 34 yards. Wilson should be viewed as a boom-or-bust WR5. He missed Weeks 11 and 12 but should be a full-time player upon his return.
Murray is averaging just under 36 pass attempts per game and the Cardinals' defense hasn't been very good. This should give Wilson plenty of opportunities on a weekly basis. However, as already mentioned, he'll be No. 3 or 4 in the passing game. He's more of a deep league add with some weekly upside, but also high volatility.
