Who Should I Start? Tyler Johnson or Michael Wilson

Wednesday, November 12, 8:56 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Tyler Johnson is due for an elevated workload in Week 11's road clash with the New England Patriots. The sixth-year pro notched back-to-back three-catch efforts ahead of his bye week, posting at least 60 yards in each contest, although he failed to reel in his lone target in last weekend's win over the Browns, while Justin Fields netted 42 passing yards. Things won't be much easier against their division rivals, considering New England has allowed the sixth-fewest points (19.2) and eighth-fewest yards (306.2) per game. Johnson might be an ok flier in DFS formats, but shouldn't be on fantasy managers' radars in conventional lineup leagues. Even with the suspected uptick in volume, an up-and-down Jets' offense limits the 27-year-old's ceiling. He'll wind up as RotoBaller's PPR WR77 for his outing with the Patriots.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson remains in must-start territory ahead of Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. While Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) should play this week, he's expected to have a reduced snap share. As a result, Wilson should operate as the Cardinals' No. 1 wide receiver and one of Jacoby Brissett's top targets once again. He has been spectacular in the back half of the season, catching 46 passes for 587 yards and four touchdowns over his last six games. During that span, he ranks as the overall WR3 in full-PPR leagues. In addition to his terrific momentum lately, Wilson should benefit from a very favorable matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals' defense, which ranks among the worst in the NFL. They have been stronger against the pass, but this game's implied total of 53.5 points suggests that we're in for a shootout with plenty of offense and very little defense. Wilson ranks as the WR16 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 17, and he has top-10 upside.
