Michael Wilson fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 9 (2024). Should you start or sit Michael Wilson for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Keep Wilson on your bench, but don't start him outside the deepest of leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Michael Wilson has shown some flashes this year but has just two games with seven-plus targets. He's found the end zone three times but has just two games with 60-plus receiving yards. The talent is there, but he's clearly No. 3 in the pecking order on the Arizona Cardinals, and there just isn't enough volume to go around.
Wilson comes into Week 9 sitting at WR55 in fantasy points per game, with three weeks where he’s managed WR3-level production. He’s seen three red zone targets over his last four games and ranks second on the team in deep targets with six.
Chicago’s secondary has been leaky when it comes to deep passes since Week 4, giving up the 13th-highest adjusted completion rate, the 12th-highest passer rating, and the 11th-most passing yards per game on deep throws.
Wilson is a deeper flex play for Week 9 if you’re in need, but temper those expectations.
BALLER MOVE: Sit in most leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB3 ANALYSIS: So, that was a bit of a surprise.

Black not only won the […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR2 ANALYSIS: The Jacksonville Jaguars' wide receiver room was one of the most heavily discussed position groups in the fantasy community this offseason. All three wideouts were ranked closely together because some experts punted on the group and preferred not to mess with it, while others […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (ankle) is dealing with an ankle injury he picked up in Week 1. He suffered it in that game, putting up 33.8 PPR fantasy points and easily crushing all other Panthers pass-catchers in productivity. It was a surprising performance. […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Borderline WR2 With Upside ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has an abnormally high drop rate, which isn't great for his potential to earn more targets in his offense. That might not matter much, though. The Lions have a matchup with the Buffalo Bills coming up, […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in deeper 12+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Risky WR3 ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce broke out last season with 47 catches for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns. In the process, he easily led the NFL in yards per reception (minimum 40 receptions) and was one of its premier deep threats. […]
