What to do with Cardinals WR Michael Wilson in fantasy football with Marvin Harrison Jr.'s injury return image

Michael Wilson has been a fantasy football star the past few weeks with Marvin Harrison Jr. Out with an injury.

But with it looking like Harrison will be back for the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, there are decisions to be made.

Wilson wasn't a great start when Harrison was healthy early in the year.

The implication coming out of Arizona, though, is that something has changed.

Should I start Michael Wilson in fantasy?

Wilson still fits as at least a FLEX play this week.

ESPN beat writer Josh Weinfuss wrote about Wilson's role in a way that should be encouraging for fantasy football managers:

WR Michael Wilson is expected to have another significant role in the offense, whether or not Marvin Harrison Jr. Returns this week from an appendectomy. That comes after Wilson had 303 yards and 25 catches in the past two games without Harrison. If Harrison does play, then Wilson will be looked at more than he was before the past two weeks, said coach Jonathan Gannon, who has long talked about riding the hot hand. "Throw it to the guys that are making plays for you. Absolutely," Gannon said.

It wouldn't be unfair to sit Wilson.

But the Buccaneers' defense does give up big plays in the passing game, and Wilson has built a great connection with Jacoby Brissett.

There's certainly still a path to a really good game for Wilson.
