Ron Stewart disagrees with the take that Michael Wilson is better than Marvin Harrison Jr., noting that when both are on the field together, Harrison has been the primary target and preferred option. Stewart drafted Wilson in the flex spot in this mock, citing team correlation with Caleb Williams and repeated discussion about Wilson's potential as reasons to target him at his ADP.NegativeBustJun 12, 2026
Michael Wilson, ranked WR47, is overvalued relative to consensus; he has never been efficient over a full sample (1.37 yards per route run career, 1.59 last year), scored 26 points per game in just five games without Marvin Harrison Jr. but only 8 points per game otherwise, and lacks the talent to overcome a Cardinals offense projected for the second-least points in the NFL.PositiveUsageDec 22, 2025
Scored a touchdown in Week 16 but was down to three targets, and the source notes that 'the Kobe Verset magic ran out a little bit this week,' suggesting a decline in his offensive role and target volume.PositiveBreakoutDec 8, 2025
Michael Wilson has been a legitimate league winner in the three games without Marvin Harrison Jr., averaging 30.8 PPR points per game—best fantasy player of the season over that span per the source. Over this three-game stretch, he has 84% route share, 34% target share, and 195 air yards per game (absurd usage). Harrison Jr. appears to be out longer than expected, and even if he returns, Wilson should remain a fine flex play; without Harrison, Wilson ranks as a top-12 fantasy receiver. The Cardinals' uptempo, drop-back-heavy offense and garbage-time volume (50+ pass attempts) further support his ceiling.NegativeProjectionNo date
Despite getting paid, difficult to bet on in fantasy due to stark split production: 25 PPG in five games without Marvin Harrison Jr. versus 8 PPG in 12 games with Harrison. Competing with Trey McBride and Harrison for targets in an offense where pass times are expected to come down, though Wilson could prove this analysis wrong and finish as WR21.PositiveValueNo date
Matt Harmon identifies Michael Wilson as a value target, noting that potential regression has already been priced into his current draft cost. Harmon expects Wilson to play more Z receiver in the new Cardinals scheme, closer to the core, and be involved in the run game as a blocker, similar to Puka Nacua, which should improve his production.NegativeRoleNo date
Michael Wilson took Marvin Harrison Jr.'s targets and role when Harrison Jr. returned from injury last season, limiting his production.
