Michael Wilson suddenly looks like a fantasy-relevant receiver again, and Gardner Minshew deserves some credit for that. Wilson was targeted a whopping 15 times in Week 8, catching eight passes for 111 yards. Even more impressive were his 240 air yards, the most of any receiver in the NFL this week.

Michael Wilson's 15 targets and 240 air yards signal resurgence with Minshew.

Michael Wilson suddenly looks fantasy-relevant again with Gardner Minshew at quarterback. In Week 8, Wilson was targeted 15 times, catching eight passes for 111 yards with 240 air yards (most in the NFL that week), commanding a 36.6% target share and an absurd 60.3% share of Arizona's air yards. His 16.0-yard average depth of target suggests he got downfield opportunities rather than just short receptions. The source notes this represents the kind of volume fantasy managers dream about, though questions remain whether this was a one-week explosion or the beginning of a legitimate resurgence with Minshew under center. Wilson is a weekly must-start, and fantasy managers have hope with Minshew coming in instead of a rookie like Carson Beck.
