Who Should I Start? Michael Wilson or Ashton Jeanty

Saturday, October 18, 11:24 AM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has yet to crack the top 40 at his position through the first six weeks of the season. His Week 6 performance of four catches for 44 yards equated to his best finish of the year at WR41 in half-PPR formats. To make matters worse, his average finish is WR72. In Week 7, he'll take on the Green Bay Packers, who are middle of the pack against the passing game. They have allowed at least one touchdown to opposing receivers in all but one game, but Wilson has only one touchdown in his last nine games played, dating back to last season. With the uncertainty at quarterback as Kyler Murray (foot) is questionable again, fantasy managers can leave Wilson on the waiver wire until something drastic changes.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty is expected to handle a heavy workload in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. With the Chiefs' offense catching fire in recent weeks, the Raiders will likely try to control the tempo by leaning on Jeanty and the ground game. The rookie has thrived in outside zone concepts, an area where Kansas City's defense has struggled, setting him up for a potentially productive day. The Chiefs rank 19th in rushing yards allowed per game (119.2), creating an ideal matchup for Jeanty to exploit. Expect the Raiders to establish the run early and often, keeping Patrick Mahomes off the field while feeding their emerging backfield workhorse. Jeanty profiles as a strong RB2 play in fantasy lineups and could deliver one of his best performances of the season on Sunday.
