BALLER MOVE: Start in 16+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR59
ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson is coming off his worst fantasy performance this season, totaling one reception on three targets for 15 receiving yards and two half-point PPR fantasy points.
However, the second-year pro had been playing well before last week, averaging 6.5 targets and 8.3 fantasy points per game over the previous four weeks, totaling 9.1 or more in all but one contest. More importantly, Wilson knows the Cardinals passing attack needs to improve after struggling in back-to-back weeks.
“All parties have to be better.”#AZCardinals WR Michael Wilson re: the passing game.
“If we’re going to be the team that we need to be, I think our offense has to be better.”

The former Stanford star faces the Miami Dolphins this week in a critical matchup for both teams. Miami has held wide receivers to only 18.3 fantasy points per game, the fewest in the NFL. Furthermore, they have given up only two receiving touchdowns to wide receivers, surrendering only one since Week 1.
While the matchup isn’t ideal on paper, the Dolphins haven’t faced a team that needed to put up points since opening weekend. However, that will change with Tua Tagovailoa returning from a concussion on Sunday. Fantasy players can start Wilson as a low-end flex option in deeper leagues.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
