LaFleur wants to use Michael Wilson to create confusion for opposing defenses, per @​theo_mackie “On one play last week, Wilson took a surprise handoff on a jet motion. On one play this week, he aligned at TE in a heavy formation. He was used as a run blocker, but it’s not hard to envision how that could marry up with a play-action look that springs Wilson for a big gain.”

Marvin Harrison Jr. has had more targets in training camp than Michael Wilson (so far), per @​theo_mackie “Harrison is typically the lone WR on the field when the Cardinals are in 3 TE sets. And Harrison has earned more targets than Wilson so far, with 17 to Wilson’s 12.”

Wilson capitalized on Harrison Jr.'s injury absences in 2025, posting monster performances that demonstrated the Cardinals' passing volume. When Harrison was healthy, Wilson's target rate per route run fell from 29% to 12%, showing he was a non-factor when the No. 1 WR was available. Wilson became a back-end WR1 following a similar path to Adonai Mitchell—attached to a veteran QB and benefiting from volume opportunity—but the source notes this seems more descriptive than predictive given the Cardinals' expected shift to a more balanced offense in 2026 under new OC Mike LaFleur.

Marvin Harrison Jr has had an inordinate amount of drops so far Michael Wilson seems to come down with everything Something to watch as one big issue for MHJ has been the mental aspect of the game which @​Swails_24 noted last season Via @​Tdrake4sports

Now that I've decided I'm out on Maserati Marv and in on Michael Wilson (WR1K), I wanted to see if Wilson really can fill the "Puka Nacua Role" in Arizona So, I took a look at their route tree similarity and several YPRR/Win Rate metrics in different situations This is Puka Nacua across the full 2025 season vs. Michael Wilson in Weeks 11-18 (per @​FantasyPtsData) Wilson was already running an extremely similar route tree, winning in a lot of the same areas Nacua was during his breakout stretc...

2024 production: WR19 (13.0 PPG), outproduced Harrison by wide margin. Down-stretch surge: +258% (5.5 → 19.7 PPG), making him Arizona's most productive receiver in second half. Assigned to 'Puka role' in new offense (slot/underneath, 1st/2nd down); 6'2" 213 lbs, good blocker, Stanford smart, runs clean routes. Target share 11.6% in games with both receivers at 70%+ routes. Community views him as safer floor play going 3 rounds later than Harrison; some call him 'stud' and 'better receiver' than Harrison on tape. Concerns: role is slot-dependent, not true WR1, and benefits from garbage time in bad offense. Consensus: solid hold/flex with league-winning upside if he maintains 2024 form.

Finished 2025 as WR10 averaging 13 PPR fantasy points per game after spending most of his career as a fantasy afterthought. However, he needed a massive second-half run to reach that finish. Critically, Wilson was only a fantasy starter when Marvin Harrison Jr. missed time, averaging 4.8 targets and 7.6 fantasy points per game with Harrison playing versus 11 targets and 21.2 fantasy points per game with Harrison injured. Liam Coen would happily trade Wilson for a 2027 second-round pick.

One the source sets his mess-up line at Wilson, currently around WR39. The case against Wilson comes down to a stark split: his production and target share collapsed almost entirely whenever his team's top receiver was healthy and on the field, and spiked only when that receiver was out. With that team having led the NFL in pass attempts last year and then using a premium draft pick on a running back, a significant drop in overall passing volume looks likely this year, which makes Wilson's already touchdown-and-target-share-dependent role even shakier as probably the offense's third read.
