Who Should I Start? Michael Wilson or Calvin Austin III

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson should be left on benches and waiver wires when his team takes on a stingy Seattle Seahawks pass defense in Week 4. The third-year pro has a meager three catches for 22 yards in three weeks and now goes against a Seahawks defense that has allowed the second-fewest points to fantasy wide receivers. The Cardinals' passing game hasn't exactly lit it up this season, but tight end Trey McBride has been by far their top pass-catching option with Marvin Harrison Jr. and Wilson both ranking outside of the top 40 among fantasy receivers. Managers should have much better options than Wilson this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III hauled in three of his five targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in a 21-14 win over the New England Patriots. Although Austin was quiet in Week 2, his numbers through the first three games of the season are shockingly similar to teammate DK Metcalf's. Metcalf leads the Steelers in targets, but Austin is averaging more yards per reception while building chemistry with new quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He has been on the receiving end of two deep touchdown passes, both thrown by Rodgers with the game on the line. While fantasy managers would be wise to avoid starting him against the stout Minnesota Vikings defense, Austin should be rostered heading into Week 4.
