The Arizona Cardinals will visit the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Michael Wilson.
Is Michael Wilson Playing in Week 17?
Wilson is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Cardinals’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Wilson in Week 17?
Sometimes it’s just your time.
Wilson saw only three targets against the Falcons last week with Marvin Harrison back, a lack of usage that, more often than not, results in a crippling dud.
And it should have.
But because Wilson can do no wrong these days, he scored a 32-yard touchdown that pinballed all over the place and somehow magically landed in his hands.
Sustainable? No. Effective enough to help you advance? Very possible.
He’s now scored four times in his past three games and has reached double-digit PPR points in five of six. The floor is concerned with viable target competition, but the matchup and game environment project as more helpful to him than the availability of Harrison is harmful.
Wilson remains inside my top 24 at the position and ahead of Harrison for this cushy spot.
