Michael Wilson caught 8 passes for 111 yards and one touchdown on 15 targets in the Cardinals' 33-30 win over the Cowboys, adding one carry for 17 yards. He scored 22.8 half-PPR points.

The performance more than doubled his 9.1 half-PPR points a game over his previous 7 games, with far more volume than usual behind it. He enters Week 9 as the Cardinals' clear top receiver with a favourable matchup against Seattle, who allow 29.5 half-PPR points a game to receivers, the 6th most of 32. His role is worth more than his recent points: he is scoring 5.6 half-PPR points a game below what his usage predicts.

Michael Wilson

Wilson caught 8 passes for 111 yards and one touchdown on 15 targets. The line came after he practised in limited fashion all week with sore ribs. Over his last 3 games he is averaging 10.0 targets, 5.3 catches and 66 receiving yards a game with a 91% snap share and 19% target share, scoring 12.2 half-PPR points a game. His air yards share ranks 22nd of 180 receivers over that window.

Over his last 3 games he is scoring 7.5 half-PPR points a game below what his usage predicts, ranking 176th of 176 receivers. His opportunity subscore ranks 7th of 191 receivers whilst his efficiency subscore ranks 191st, the lowest of any receiver. That gap means his role holds more value than his recent points suggest, and the 22.8 half-PPR points against Dallas show what happens when the catches turn into yards. Start him as a WR2 against Seattle.

What to do

• Start Michael Wilson as a WR2 in Week 9 against Seattle, who allow the 6th most half-PPR points to receivers.

• Wilson is averaging 10.0 targets a game over his last 3 games, though he is scoring 7.5 half-PPR points a game below what his usage predicts over that window.

• Monitor the ribs through practice this week, though the issue did not limit his volume or snap share against Dallas.
