Who Should I Start? Michael Wilson or Brady Cook

Sunday, December 28, 8:23 PM

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.

New York Jets quarterback Brady Cook won't be on the fantasy radar in Week 17 when his team squares off with the New England Patriots at home. Cook has roughly three full games under his belt now and hasn't yet made a case to be considered for fantasy. Across the three appearances, the 24-year-old has completed a dismal 59.2% of his passes for 527 yards and a 1:6 TD:INT ratio. Unideally, he'll square off with a staunch Patriots' defense this Sunday that's been a top 12 unit against the pass (eleventh-fewest YPG) and against the rush (sixth-fewest YPG), further lowering his fantasy floor. Even in deep superflex/2QB formats, Cook won't be a recommended option, landing as RotoBaller's QB32 for this weekend's slate of action.
