it's hard not to look at the workload for Michael Wilson in Week 5 and not at least think there was an immediate effect...No perimeter receiver has topped more than 50 yards against the Rams.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Wilson's limited volume and Rams' elite perimeter coverage make him a Week 6 fade.

Wilson's workload in Week 5 was limited (four catches for 30 yards), possibly due to Marvin Harrison Jr. going to Texans. Outside receivers have been earning targets and creating yards against other defenses (Tetairoa McMillan 45.2 PPR, Garrett Wilson 26.7, Chris Olave 28.2), but Wilson and Jacoby Brissett managed only four hookups for 30 yards. Against Rams in Week 6, matchup is unfavorable: Rams allow 2nd-fewest passing yards per game to outside WRs, 6th-highest defensive EPA per play, 5th-fewest fantasy PPG. No perimeter receiver has topped 50 yards against Rams; only three (Demarcus Robinson, Courtland Sutton, Pat Bryant) got close, all requiring 20+ yard explosive gains. Brissett averages 2.4 sacks per game with 10th-lowest passing aDOT.
