The Arizona Cardinals will visit the Houston Texans in Week 15. 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 15?
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 15?
Marvin Harrison gets ruled out; have the social team put together a cute graphic that looks intelligent.
Life doesn’t have to be hard. Wilson has been nothing short of unstoppable when functioning as the WR1 in this Jacoby Brissett system; there is just no two ways about it. If you do the completely irresponsible thing of projecting his three games in that role over the course of an entire season, you get 204 catches (55 more than the current single-season NFL record) for 2,257 yards (563 more than the current single-season NFL record).
Crazy good.
If this heel injury sidelines Harrison for another game, you’re firing up Wilson again, though with slightly lower expectations against maybe the best defense in the league. At the very least, the target count should be there, and that makes him a higher upside version of Jakobi Meyers in my eyes.
If Harrison plays, I’m not sure you feel good about any of these receivers. We know that Trey McBride is going to demand 25-30% of the targets, and we also know that we faced a similar situation in Week 13 against a Bucs defense that is vulnerable through the air: we gained 36 yards on six targets from Wilson.
Greg Dortch’s (chest) placement on injured reserve does open up some target equity in that situation, which is why I currently plan on starting Wilson wherever I have him, regardless of Harrison’s status.
But it would be fun to walk into the fantasy postseason with new-age Calvin Johnson on our rosters, wouldn’t it?
