Who Should I Start? Justin Watson or Michael Wilson

Wednesday, December 10, 5:03 PM

The Houston Texans have opened the practice windows for tight end Harrison Bryant (neck) and wide receiver Justin Watson (Achilles, calf). Bryant and Watson both returned to practice on Wednesday and could suit up on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, depending on how they do in practice this week. The 27-year-old Bryant should slide back in alongside Cade Stover as the Texans' primary backup tight ends behind Dalton Schultz. Bryant played 25.7% of the snaps on offense and recorded two catches for seven yards on six targets over eight games before his injury. Watson played in the first two games this season before being placed on Injured Reserve. The 29-year-old had a role in the offense, playing 49.1% of the snaps and hauling in three of his four targets for 30 yards. It remains to be seen how he'll be integrated back into the offense with the emergence of rookie Jayden Higgins in recent weeks. Neither Bryant nor Watson profiles as a fantasy option worth considering in most leagues.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson caught five of his 10 targets for 89 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 17 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals. He capitalized on a larger volume share with teammate Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) playing just one-third of the offensive snaps before exiting the game entirely. Operating as the top wide receiver in Arizona's offense, Wilson extended his touchdown streak to four games. He has posted at least 13 full-PPR fantasy points in each of those four weeks, and he ranks as the overall WR3 during that span. Harrison's return is far from guaranteed in Week 18, but even if the former first-round pick does face the Los Angeles Rams, Wilson should still serve as Arizona's No. 1 wide receiver and one of Jacoby Brissett's favorite targets. He ranks as a top-12 fantasy receiver heading into Week 18.
