With Marvin Harrison Jr. out Cardinals WR Micheal Wilson shined as the top option for quarterback Jacoby Brissett.
The Arizona Cardinals may have discovered a gem for their offense in wide receiver Michael Wilson. Due to Marvin Harrison Jr surprise appendectomy, Wilson was thrust into the spotlight and recorded 33.5 ppr fantasy points and was WR1 overall for week 11. Wilson had 15 catches on 18 targets and 185 receiving yards. Harrison Jr. career high in a game is 7 catches.
Micheal Wilson is the hottest wavier wire pick-up, especially if Harrison Jr. is out again against the Jaguars in week 12. The Cardinals are finally able to utilize their offensive weapons under quarterback Jacoby Brissett, leaving Kyler Murray as the odd man out.

Michael Wilson is out for the 3rd straight week and will have an extra week to rest with Arizona on a bye in week 14.
Michael Wilson is still struggling with a nagging shoulder injury that has prevented him from playing since Week 10. He will not participate in Sunday’s game against the Steelers, and will have an additional week to recover as the Cardinals have a bye week in Week 14. Although Wilson has yet to make a significant impact in his rookie season, he is still receiving ample playing time, having been on the field for 78.5% of snaps in this offense.
Greg Dortch has emerged as a quality weapon for Kyler Murray in the past two weeks with Wilson out of the lineup. Dortch has been targeted 17 times hauling in 9 catches for 103 yards and a touchdown. Dortch is back in flex consideration for Week 13 for managers in a jam with bye weeks and injuries.
Michael Wilson is officially out Week 12 against the Rams.
Michael Wilson has been dealing with a nagging shoulder injury for a few weeks now. Coach Jonathan Gannon has confirmed that Wilson won’t play on Sunday. Fantasy football managers are excited to see how Wilson will perform with a competent QB like Kyler Murray under center, but unfortunately, they will have to wait for at least one more week. It is possible that Wilson could be held out for an additional week to give him more time to recover, especially with the Cardinal’s bye week coming up in week 14.
With Michael Wilson out and Marquise Brown injured, Rondale Moore and Greg Dortch could be the primary receivers for the Cardinals against the Rams on Sunday and both could be in flex consideration if you are in a bind for Week 12.
Cardinals Wide Receiver Michael Wilson is dealing with a shoulder injury and is expected to miss week 9, with the hope that he can return next week.
While we’ll have to wait for the official active/inactive report 90 minutes before the 1pm EST kickoff between the Carindals and Browns, Fantasy managers should start making plans now to be without Michael Wilson this week.
Wilson has shown talent but has been inconsistent in his rookie year. He warrants rostering in Dynasty Leagues and deeper redraft formats, but would’ve been a less than ideal lineup choice this week anyways with rookie QB, Clayton Tune, making his first start against a stout Browns Defense.
One reason Wilson slipped in the NFL Draft was his lengthy injury history in college. With a tough stretch of games upcoming for the Cardinals, Fantasy managers rostering Wilson shouldn’t be afraid to drop him if your roster warrants the move.
