Should You Start or Sit Cedrick Wilson Jr. in Week 7?
Cedrick Wilson Jr. is playing for his third team in four seasons, and while he’s yet to break out, he certainly has the experience edge over these secondary pieces that are being pressed into a greater role. He led the Saints in slot participation in Week 6, and if he can carve out that role, there’s a path to Flex value in the short term.
For his career, Wilson has produced 12.2% over fantasy expectation, and his consistent route running should earn him as good an opportunity to see looks in this offense as anyone. With the most NFL reps under his belt, Wilson should be viewed as the most reliable of the healthy Saint receivers, though his upside is limited.
