FantasyPros Articles on Michael Wilson

Wilson's extension and Hart's weak coverage create a favorable Week 1 start despite Brissett at QB.

Wilson signed a three-year, $75 million extension this summer and has been drafted high by fantasy managers, creating an obligation to play him in Week 1. He posted 0.37 fantasy points per route run last season with an 80.6% route-run rate. Facing Cam Hart (LAC CB), who allowed 0.33 fantasy points per route run last season (ninth-highest among Week 1 cornerbacks), Wilson has a favorable matchup despite Jacoby Brissett throwing to him. The source notes Wilson will have tougher matchups later and should be started when matchups are positive.
