Kristian Wilkerson Fantasy

New England Patriots wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson didn't have a single reception on the season heading into Week 17. However, he was able to make an impact during the matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Wilkerson hauled in four of his eight targets for 42 yards and two touchdowns in the win. The rookie wideout made his presence known and could've earned himself a role for the regular season finale. However, it's unlikely Wilkerson will do anything like this again. Fantasy managers should consider this a fluke performance and ignore Wilkerson going forward.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson was originally cut by the team during Tuesday's push to finalize the 53-man roster. However, he is back with New England, but on their practice squad. Wilkerson was sharp during the preseason and is certainly worth a practice squad spot. He might even get a chance to play in New England with N'Keal Harry (shoulder) going down. However, Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor, and Kendrick Bourne appear to be the favorite for targets. Possibly, Wilkerson could be a deep league option, assuming he's added to the 53-man roster down the road.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson is not a name many fantasy managers probably know heading into the regular season. However, he has been playing well in the preseason for New England. On Sunday, Wilkerson hauled in four receptions for a team-high 72 yards in the win over the New York Giants. This was Wilkerson's final chance to impress the coaching staff. He has probably played well enough to snag a spot on the 53-man roster. Although, he'll be buried on the depth chart, so he won't have fantasy value to begin the season. It would take a couple of injuries for Wilkerson to emerge as a candidate for receptions in New England.
