Who Should I Start? Michael Wilson or Jaylin Lane

Wednesday, November 19, 9:30 AM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson had himself a career day in Week 11, as he set new career-best lines with 15 receptions and 185 receiving yards. The third-year receiver out of Stanford was asked to step up because Marvin Harrison (Appendicitis) and Zay Jones (Achilles) both missed the game. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on November 12 that Harrison Jr. underwent surgery for appendicitis and will be sidelined for "at least Week 11 and possibly longer," meaning Wilson may be the team's WR1 in Week 12 if Harrison can't go. The key here is to pay attention to Harrison's practice leading up to Sunday, as Wilson slides down the rankings quite a bit if Harrison returns. Additionally, Trey McBride is the team's clear number one option. Another thing to note, Brissett will not be throwing the football 57 times and for 452 yards every week. The Cardinals got punched in the mouth early and were behind the whole game, leading to a gameflow script that forced them to throw the ball the entire game. If Harrison plays, Wilson profiles as a WR3 with limited upside. If Harrison is ruled out, Wilson profiles as a low-end WR2 against a stiff Jacksonville Jaguars defense, which ranks much better than the San Francisco 49ers defense, against whom the Cardinals played last week.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jaylin Lane (hip) exited during the second quarter of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Miami Dolphins. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had caught just one pass for 13 yards. Washington continues to be quite short-staffed at the wide receiver position, losing Lane in addition to the existing absences of Terry McLaurin (quad), Noah Brown (groin, knee), and Luke McCaffrey (shoulder). Robbie Chosen and Chris Moore will fill Lane's void alongside Deebo Samuel Sr.
