Michael Wilson A Priority Buy Low, Ascending Star Fantasy Receiver

Wednesday, October 7, 2:58 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson started off the 2026 season slower than we expected, with just 14.4 PPR fantasy points across his first two games. He saw just seven targets in those two contests, so it wasn't really his fault that he didn't have impressive production. But in the last two games combined, he saw passes head his way a truly staggering 30 times. That's an obscene figure, and one that now has him as the 5th-most targeted player in the NFL so far. He had one fewer target than tight end Trey McBride, who's the Cardinals No. 1 pass-catcher, but there's plenty of room in this offense for both to shine bright in fantasy football. Wilson's elite target numbers last season appear to be carrying over, even with WR Marvin Harrison Jr. active and healthy. Harrison has hardly seen the ball, and it's apparent that Wilson, who's been much more talented on film thus far in his career, is the WR1 for Arizona. Wilson isn't priced as an elite WR1, but that's his ceiling, which makes him a priority buy-low in redraft leagues ahead of Week 5. He has league-winning upside, and should post some truly eye-watering fantasy finishes as long as he's healthy for 2026.

Tyler Warren Set For Big Game in Week 4 at Commanders

Saturday, October 3, 2:15 AM

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren caught nine of his 10 targets for 55 yards and carried the ball one time for two yards in his team's narrow win over the Houston Texans in Week 3. With the Colts' top wide receiver, Alec Pierce (heel), out with a heel injury, Warren is the team's top target in the passing game. The Texans presented a tougher defensive challenge than do the Washington Commanders, who have been one of the NFL's worst defenses against tight ends last season and through this year so far. Warren has faced tough defenses in each of his first three games and still maintained fantasy football relevance, so he appears to be on the verge of a breakout game here. Warren and wide receiver Josh Downs will split the lion's share of the team's targets. The Commanders appear to have an improved offense under quarterback Marcus Mariota, who will start in Week 4, and Indy's defense hasn't been playing exceptionally well, so a game with high passing volume could be on the table for the Colts. Warren is firmly in TE1 territory in fantasy football this week and should be started in all leagues.
