All Davis Mattek insights about Michael Wilson
NegativeRoleOct 29, 2026
Michael Wilson is priced at $6,200 in Week 8 DFS but has produced nothing since Marvin Harrison Jr. was traded away, indicating a significant decline in offensive role and usage following the trade.PositiveSleeperOct 22, 2026
Wilson remains a strong play as a low-owned option with 2–5% projected ownership. His XFP profile is still strong despite recent volatility, capable of 4 for 40 or 11 for 117 performances. He was limited in practice Wednesday, indicating he will play. His appeal is contingent on Patrick Surtain II's final game status, as Surtain would likely draw coverage on Wilson.NegativeUsageOct 21, 2026
Michael Wilson's route share declined from 92% when Marvin Harrison Jr. was on the field to 80–82% in the two games without him. The source attributes this partly to Arizona's weak offense overall and partly to structural limitations: Trey McBride commands a 28% target share as the first read, which caps upside for non-elite receivers like Wilson. The source cautions against overvaluing Wilson's two high-volume games post-Harrison trade, noting his ceiling in opportunities is high but his floor is low due to McBride's role and the offense's 19-point weekly total.PositiveValueOct 15, 2026
Michael Wilson is identified as one of the few successful picks in the 6th to 10th round wide receiver range. Davis Mattek identifies Wilson as his favorite fantasy play for the week, advising managers to look past negative sentiment and price increases to maintain a positive outlook on his usage.PositiveValueOct 14, 2026
Davis Mattek recommends Michael Wilson as a strong tournament DFS play, noting that his role remains consistent while his ownership is expected to be lower than in previous weeks.PositiveValueOct 12, 2026
Wilson was considered a must-play at $6,200 salary given the game environment, his target volume, and projection. The source believed Marvin Harrison Jr.'s absence was worse for Wilson than for Kendrick Bourne, as Harrison does not earn targets independently. Wilson ran 44 routes, indicating high volume and role concentration in the Arizona offense, and was part of the source's rare six-must build (Gibbs, Brassette, Swift, Trey Harris, McBride, Michael Wilson) that the source believes is a winning configuration. Wilson scored 7 DFS points and had 31% DFS ownership. However, the source acknowledged Wilson was a poor DFS selection in a Kyler Murray-based lineup, noting that when playing Kyler, the better pairing would have been Aaron Jones.PositiveValueOct 11, 2026
Davis Mattek includes Michael Wilson in multiple DFS lineups across cash games and simulated builds, indicating confidence in Wilson as a core wide receiver play. Wilson appears in top DFS lineups and is included in cash game construction alongside other core plays.NegativeValueOct 10, 2026
Davis Mattek notes that while fantasy managers are high on the Cardinals' roster, including Michael Wilson, the team's overall performance metrics suggest they are not as strong as perceived. Wilson is also used as a benchmark for wide receiver rankings in the BR format, with Mattek questioning why he would be ranked as a WR4 over Marvin Harrison.PositiveValueOct 8, 2026
Davis Mattek notes Michael Wilson's ADP is 'wild' and states 'Did not draft enough Michael Wilson,' indicating Wilson is significantly undervalued at 9.6 ADP; Mattek also includes Wilson in DFS lineup construction, suggesting he views Wilson as a viable option.PositiveValueOct 3, 2026
Davis Mattek tracked Michael Lafleur's pre-season deployment comments about the Z-role in the Rams offense, comparing Wilson to Puka Nakua and Robert Woods. Wilson went off at the end of last season; Mattek avoided him in weeks 1–2 but targeted him heavily in week 3 against the Niners as a scroll-down option with solid projections and favorable game environment. Despite not having a strong game yet this season, Wilson's projection remained comparable to other late-round wide receivers (WR35 range), making him underowned relative to expected output due to game-log bias. Mattek was overweight on Wilson with 17 of 114 teams drafted in the BR, indicating strong conviction; scrolling down to Wilson didn't sacrifice much projection versus receivers going at the very end around rounds five and six.NegativeProjectionSep 28, 2026
Davis Mattek notes that Michael Wilson had a good game yesterday but expects him to stay right about where he is in his rankings, suggesting the strong performance is not expected to significantly move his ranking. Mattek observes that sometimes good performances don't warrant ranking adjustments.PositiveMatchupSep 27, 2026
Davis Mattek plays Michael Wilson in DFS despite conventional wisdom, noting the 49ers are down to literally two healthy corners with a third one questionable, creating a favorable matchup for the wide receiver.PositiveProjectionMay 22, 2026
Michael Wilson is positioned to benefit if the Raiders-Cardinals game becomes a fantasy bonanza; the source identifies this as the leading candidate for a 'who cares bowl' that goes insane with yards and touchdowns, given both teams' low projected win totals and poor defenses.
