Michael Wilson is a priority waiver add for fantasy football Week 6

Michael Wilson is a priority waiver add for fantasy football Week 6

Published:

By: Alex Hunter

Michael Wilson ($4,600) is coming off a strong performance in the Cardinals’ upset over the 49ers last week. The second-year wideout caught five of his six targets for 78 yards, resulting in 12.8 FPTS.

After starting the season quietly, Wilson has seen a prominent role over the last three weeks, with a 25.6% target share, including three targets over 20 yards, and 90% route rate. This target share ranks second for the Cardinals and it has nearly matched Marvin Harrison Jr.’s ($7,200) during this stretch, with Wilson seeing only two less targets than Harrison Jr.  

Wilson has been a top-32 finisher among wideouts for two of the last three weeks and he should continue to see compelling usage for the rest of the season.

Wilson next faces the Packers this Sunday and this game is expected to be high scoring, with this tilt presenting the third-highest O/U for Week 6 on DraftKings Sportsbook at 49.5 points. Wilson brings solid upside in this environment and in addition to being an appealing pickup to peruse on the waiver wire, the receiver is an intriguing value play to consider for DFS in Week 6.
