Should I Start Michael Wilson for Fantasy Football?
Injury Update: Marvin Harrison Jr. has been ruled OUT
The Cardinals are taking on the Rams in an NFC West matchup this Sunday, and the circumstances seem to be setting up another big game for Michael Wilson. Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) hasn't been able to practice this week after injuring his heel in Week 13, when he was returning from a two-game absence due to a concussion.
Harrison had six catches on seven targets for 69 yards in his return, while Wilson had three catches on seven targets for 36 yards. He was much more productive in the two games that Harrison missed, and should be back to his role as the top target this week if Harrison is ruled out.
Here's what his QB Jacoby Brissett said about that possibility:

The numbers back up Brissett's confidence in Wilson since he had 15 catches for 185 yards on 18 targets in Week 11 against the 49ers and followed that with 10 catches for 118 yards on 15 targets against the Jaguars in his two games as the Cardinals' top receiver.
The Rams aren't an easy matchup, but Wilson's volume should overcome that factor and make him a strong WR2 this week. He has at least seven targets in four straight weeks and has become a go-to for Brissett, who is attempting 40+ passes a game since the run game and defense have put the team in pass-heavy situations the last few weeks.
Wilson is the No. 18 WR in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, making him a starter in almost all formats with a high ceiling and a high floor due to his expected volume this week.
Should I Start Jayden Higgins for Fantasy Football?
While he hasn't surged quite as much as Wilson without Harrison, Texans rookie receiver Jayden Higgins has also been trending up as his volume has increased for the Texans. Like the Cardinals, the Texans have been throwing the ball more in recent weeks, and Higgins has benefited from the added attention.
The rookie from Iowa State has emerged as the No. 2 receiver for the Texans and has at least seven targets in four of his last six games. He only had five targets on Sunday against the Colts, but still managed to set a new career-high with 65 receiving yards.
He has at least four catches in four straight games and in six of his last eight, and he has developed as a strong option near the goal line, scoring four touchdowns this season, including this big score against the Bills in Week 12:

Higgins' growing role in an offense that is trending more heavily towards the pass has him climbing the wide receiver rankings. He's the No. 38 wide receiver in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings for his Sunday Night Football matchup with the Chiefs. It could be a low-scoring contest in Kansas City, but his volume and touchdown potential keep him on the radar as a deep-league flex option this week, with a high ceiling going forward the rest of the season.
Should I Start Jakobi Meyers for Fantasy Football?
Meyers' fantasy stock is also rising after he was traded from the Raiders to the Jaguars at the trade deadline. He formed a quick connection with his new QB Trevor Lawrence and has quickly become one of Lawrence's go-to targets.

Meyers has ramped up to playing over 80% of snaps in each of the last two weeks, and he has at least three catches in all four games with his new team, totaling 245 receiving yards on 18 catches with a pair of touchdowns. He scored each of the last two weeks and had more catches and receiving yards last week against the Titans than in any of his first three weeks with Jacksonville.
The Jags offense as a whole is trending up, and Meyers has been a key part of the production in the last few weeks. This week, his team will host the Colts in an important divisional matchup on Sunday afternoon. Indianapolis has allowed 11 wide receiver touchdowns in 12 games, along with an average of 164.2 receiving yards per game to the position.
Meyers is the No. 26 WR in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, which puts him on the edge of starting in most leagues. He's a strong WR3 in 10-team leagues and can definitely be a flex option to consider. With his touchdowns in consecutive weeks, he brings a high ceiling, and the Jags-Colts game could be a sneaky high-scoring matchup in Jacksonville on Sunday, giving Meyers a good ceiling and solid floor.
He isn't the clear No. 1 option like Wilson, but he has a better matchup than Higgins. Wilson is the best play from this trio of receivers this week, followed by Meyers and then Higgins, although each of the three has significant upside based on their recent trends in the right direction.
