Who Should I Start? Allen Lazard or Michael Wilson

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard has seen minimal usage so far this season, recording seven catches for 45 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets across six games played. However, Lazard got a chance to play 78% of New York's offensive snaps in Week 8 due to injuries to top Jets wideouts Garrett Wilson (knee) and Josh Reynolds (hip). Wilson is expected to return in Week 10 following the team's Week 9 bye, but Reynolds must miss at least three more games on Injured Reserve. Still, Lazard's lack of production to this point makes him difficult for fantasy managers to rely upon. Even with Wilson and Reynolds sidelined in Week 8, Lazard recorded one catch for five yards in a game where the Jets scored 39 points. Lazard should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has emerged as a go-to weapon in the passing game with Jacoby Brissett under center. Brissett continues to heap praise on the young receiver, stating, "If need be, he could be the No. 1 target." The passing game has continued to improve with Brissett under center, with Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr. finally living up to their potential. Despite the praise, you should proceed with caution for Wilson in a Week 10 matchup with a stingy Seattle Seahawks defense that has allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season.
