PositiveRoleSep 30, 2026
Michael Wilson's role in Drew Pettine's offense is becoming more equitable compared to Marvin Harrison's X receiver role; the system previously dictated Harrison would get looks over Wilson based on progressions, but Wilson is a versatile receiver who checks many boxes and can generate production even without explosive third-level separation against zone coverage. Puka Nakua is buying Michael Wilson going forward.PositiveProjectionSep 30, 2026
Over the last eight games with Marvin Harrison healthy, Michael Wilson has a 22% target share and WR18 usage, making him a fantasy starter; Puka Nakua projects him at the WR2-3 border with a flash of WR1 overall upside. Outside of duds against the Chargers and Seahawks in weeks 1-2, Wilson's remaining games have been WR1 caliber, suggesting the market undervalued him despite him playing better than Marvin Harrison Jr. over an 8-game sample despite being drafted after Harrison in every draft.PositiveProjectionSep 30, 2026
Michael Wilson has more upside ahead; the Cardinals offense has more meat on the bone, and while current quarterback play (Jacoby Brissett) limits downfield throws, future quarterback changes or scheme adjustments could unlock additional production for Wilson and other receivers like Marvin Harrison.PositiveUsageSep 30, 2026
Michael Wilson is now the wide receiver 7 in usage; the Cardinals designed a ton of stuff for him including first-read looks, quick releases, screens, slant routes, play-action near the goal line, and diving catches across all levels of the field; he delivered a touchdown on a 13-personnel play action that previously went to Marvin Harrison.PositiveBreakoutSep 30, 2026
Michael Wilson is legitimately a really good player who was under-prioritized in the previous offense; he was the most drafted receiver on multiple platforms including Underdog due to his low ADP, and he delivered in Week 3 with seven catches against zone coverage, quick first-read looks, explosive plays on out cuts, and excellent breaking routes throughout the game.PositiveMatchupSep 25, 2026
Michael Wilson is WR33 against the San Francisco 49ers on the road as 8.5-point underdogs. Garbage time might be easier with Nick Bosa out for multiple weeks and the 49ers' defensive line already banged up significantly with Michael Williams not returning and two defensive tackles on injured reserve. Last year in Week 11, Jacoby Brissette threw for 185 yards to Wilson in garbage time against the 49ers. This is competent garbage time (different from Cooper Rush or Jordan Love garbage time). LaFleur's comment about having other guys suggests Michael Wilson and Trey McBride are the primary targets with Marvin on the sideline.PositiveRoleSep 18, 2026
Michael Wilson is currently more involved in the Arizona Cardinals' offense than Marvin Harrison Jr., as evidenced by film review showing Wilson appearing more frequently in the progression and half-field reads.PositiveBreakoutSep 18, 2026
The source believes Michael Wilson is currently a better player than Marvin Harrison Jr. and is more involved in the Cardinals' offense, making him a notable player to watch.PositiveRoleJul 27, 2026
Michael Wilson is an eighth-round pick on Yahoo. Matt Harmon describes him as 'a real player' and notes that he 'mogged' Marvin Harrison Jr. at the end of the season in terms of production and overall final taste in the mouth. Harmon says Wilson's end-of-season performance was 'the most impressive a Cardinals wide receiver has looked over the last two years.' Harmon is frustrated that the Cardinals underutilized Wilson at the Z position while Harrison played X, when Wilson's comps (T Higgins, X receivers) suggest he should be used more interchangeably. Under new offensive coordinator LaFleur, Harmon expects Wilson to benefit from schematic improvements and more motion at the snap.
