Who Should I Start? Michael Wilson or Dontayvion Wicks

Thursday, November 13, 9:55 AM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has seen his fantasy value surge with his team set to play Week 11 without top wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendectomy). Tight end Trey McBride continues to be the team's No. 1 pass catcher, but Wilson is third on the team in most receiving categories and should be the No. 1 receiver this week. The Cardinals, who have had a rotating cast of running backs and are playing with backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett, have been one of the toughest teams to gauge in the NFL for fantasy leagues. Wilson is earning a middling 6 yards per target and has only 22 catches through nine games, so managers shouldn't expect a week-winning performance, but Wilson's likely increase in volume could be worth a look in deeper leagues or as a one-week fill-in.

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks (calf), Savion Williams (foot), and Malik Heath (hip) are all active for the Monday Night Football game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Mike Spofford of Packers.com. Rookie first-round wideout Matthew Golden is out with a shoulder injury, so Wicks has the best chance of seeing elevated targets in three-wide sets on Monday next to Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson with Golden sidelined. It will be Wicks' first game since injuring his calf in the Week 7 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Despite Wicks' expected larger role on Monday night, the 24-year-old will still be a boom/bust DFS play against Philly. In six games played in 2025, Wicks has only 13 receptions for 134 yards and is still searching for his first trip to paydirt.
