MICHAEL WILSON NEWS

Makes mark in box score Wilson gathered in three of four targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 31-6 win versus the Jets.

Impact After getting blanked on one target during a Week 9 victory against the Bears, Wilson made a mark in the box score Sunday, but he still ranked fourth in targets among Cardinals behind WR Marvin Harrison, TE Trey McBride and RB James Conner, all of whom earned five. All three at least doubled up Wilson's receiving yardage total, and Harrison was on the receiving end of QB Kyler Murray's only TD pass. Wilson hasn't surpassed 31 yards in five consecutive contests, leaving his fantasy value waning as Arizona enters its Week 11 bye.

Blanked in Week 9 Wilson didn't gather in his only target during Sunday's 29-9 victory against the Bears

Impact In a game in which the Cardinals were having their way with the Bears on the ground, Wilson and his fellow pass catchers were on the receiving end of only 20 passes from QB Kyler Murray versus 34 carries overall as a team. As a result, Wilson didn't record a catch for the first time in nine contests this season, and his single target marked a campaign low. Even rookie first-round WR Marvin Harrison (2-34-0 on five targets) and stellar third-year TE Trey McBride (3-35-0 on four targets) were unable to produce much in the passing game, so Wilson's lacking performance is somewhat justified. Still, Wilson will look to get back in the box score this coming Sunday versus the Jets.

One catch in win Wilson caught one of three targets for 15 yards in Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers.

Impact Wilson played 44 of the Cardinals 57 offensive snaps Monday behind fellow receivers Marvin Harrison (48) and well ahead of Greg Dortch (17), Zay Jones (11) and Zach Pascal (2). Despite his healthy snap share as the No. 2 wideout, the 24-year-old was unable to make much of an impact in Arizona's aerial attack. With the offense struggling to perform consistently from week-to-week, Wilson's fantasy utility continues to be inconsistent, as well. The Cardinals head to Miami to square off against the Dolphins in Week 8.

Ready to play Monday Wilson (ankle) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Monday's contest against the Chargers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Both Wilson and Marvin Harrison shed their respective injury labels ahead of Monday. Wilson has seen at least four targets in each of the past four games, but Arizona's inconsistencies passing the ball have kept things in check somewhat for the second-year wideout, who has just 18 catches for 201 yards and a touchdown over that stretch. The Chargers are dealing with injuries across its secondary, so it's possible Wilson and Harrison could get back on track under the primetime lights.

Limited in practice again Wilson (ankle) was a limited practice participant Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Wilson was also a limited participant Thursday, after handling 95 percent snap share in last Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Packers. Fellow Cardinals wideout Marvin Harrison is progressing through concussion protocol, logging a full practice Friday without the use of a non-contact jersey.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Tending to ankle issue Wilson was a limited practice participant Thursday due to an ankle injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Cardinals' receiving corps had one known health concern prior to the team posting its first Week 7 injury report. Rookie Marvin Harrison wore a non-contact jersey Thursday in the wake of suffering a concussion this past Sunday at Green Bay and eventually went down as limited. Wilson joined Harrison with a cap on his practice reps, leaving both players question marks as Arizona prepares to face the Chargers on Monday Night Football.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Finds end zone in loss Wilson brought in two of four targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 34-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Impact Wilson couldn't truly capitalize on the second-quarter exit of Marvin Harrison due to a concussion, as the former actually saw his fewest targets since Week 2. Wilson's reception and yardage totals were also his second-lowest figures of the season in those categories, but he helped make up for the pedestrian production with his first touchdown since Week 1 on an 18-yard grab coming out of the two-minute warning in the second quarter. If Harrison remains sidelined for a Week 7 Monday night home matchup against the Chargers, Wilson would be in line to serve as the No. 1 wideout in that contest.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Leads team in receiving Sunday Wilson corralled five of six targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over the 49ers.

Impact Wilson bounced back from a poor performance in Week 4 in which he lost a fumble to lead Arizona in receiving yards in an upset victory. The sophomore receiver has garnered 22 targets over his last contests, but his production has limited his fantasy value to deeper formats. Wilson and the Cardinals will hit the road for Week 5 to face the Packers next Sunday.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't do much with seven targets Wilson caught three of seven targets for 38 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 42-14 loss to the Commanders.

Impact Wilson failed to step up in the absence of tight end Trey McBride (concussion). The second-year wideout led the team in targets but struggled to get on the same page with Kyler Murray after the pair connected for eight catches in Arizona's previous game. Wilson will look to bounce back in Week 5 against the 49ers, but Marvin Harrison should continue to pace Arizona's pass catchers.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Big workload in Week 3 loss Wilson secured eight of nine targets for 64 yards in the Cardinals' 20-13 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Impact Wilson surprisingly set the pace for the Cardinals in receptions while tying Marvin Harrison for the team lead in receiving yards. The third-year wideout also was the runner-up in targets, and all both that figure and his catch tally served as career highs. Wilson had been very modestly involved over the first two games -- three receptions for 36 yards and a touchdown on four targets -- so it remains to be seen if Sunday's surge in attention from Kyler Murray will endure in a Week 4 home matchup against the Commanders.

Gains 31 yards on two catches Wilson pulled in both of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Rams.

Impact The Cardinals led this contest comfortably from wire to wire, leaving little action for the team's No. 2 receiver. After cashing in a short touchdown on his lone reception against the Bills in Week 1, the 2023 third-round selection gave way to rookie phenom Marvin Harrison (4/130/2) on Sunday. Wilson's sporadic usage on offense limits his fantasy value to those in deep leagues heading into a Week 3 matchup against San Francisco.

Sparse usage in Week 1 Wilson hauled in one of two targets for five yards during Sunday's 34-28 loss at Buffalo.

Impact The Cardinals trotted out rookie Marvin Harrison, Wilson and Greg Dortch as their starting wide receivers Week 1, but the first two had just one catch apiece while Dortch compiled a 6-47-0 line on eight targets. It's unlikely that Harrison and Wilson will be held down too often this season, but the pair also has to contend with TE Trey McBride (nine targets Sunday) and RB James Conner (four targets) for the attention of QB Kyler Murray. Wilson will seek to get his 2024 season on track during a Week 2 matchup with the Rams this coming Sunday.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. as good as advertised: 'He's a freak of nature'

No. 4 overall pick Marvin Harrison Jr. is impressing teammates at Cardinals camp with his ability as well as his professional approach.

AUGUST 6

Running with starters Wilson is working with the starting offense early in training camp, ahead of newcomer Zay Jones, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact The Cardinals signed Jones in May, shortly after taking fellow wideout Marvin Harrison with the third overall draft pick. With Harrison locked in for a starting spot, the other two starting roles presumably will come down to Wilson, Jones and 5-foot-7 slot man Greg Dortch. Wilson was targeted on 14.1 percent of his routes as a rookie -- one of the lowest rates in the league among starting wide receivers -- but he made the most of his limited chances with a 65.5 percent catch rate and 14.9 yards per reception (9.7 YPT). The 2023 third-round pick enters Year 2 as the favorite to start opposite Harrison, and there's always the possibility of some volume growth even if Harrison and TE Trey McBride are runaway favorites to be the team's most heavily targeted players.

Impact Wilson spent much of the offseason No. 2, at best, in the pecking order in the Cardinals passing game behind tight end Trey McBride, but the recent additions leave Wilson's potential volume in the upcoming campaign up in the air. As a rookie second-round pick last year, Wilson put together a 38-565-3 line on 58 targets in 13 contests, but he produced just 13 catches (on 25 targets) for 164 yards and one touchdown in five outings with Murray under center. The arrival of the dynamic Harrison likely leaves Wilson fending for looks with Jones, who has three years with at least 500 receiving yards on his resume.

Temporarily atop depth chart Wilson is part of a thin WR room in Arizona after the team traded Rondale Moore and lost Marquise Brown in free agency, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact That said, the Cardinals own the fourth overall pick in a draft with three elite wide receiver prospects and might end up having their choice of the three. They also have time to pursue veterans, though journeyman Chris Moore has been the only free-agent addition so far. Wilson came in as a third-round pick last season and started 12 of his 13 games while posting excellent per-target efficiency numbers -- 65.5 percent catch rate, 14.9 YPR, 9.7 YPT -- but his low rate of targets per route (14.1 percent) leaves him as somewhat of a question mark. He's got opportunity and size (6-2, 213) working in his favor, while speed (4.58 40) and age (turned 24 in February) were dings on the prospect profile coming out of Stanford. If nothing else, Wilson seems to be in pretty good position to reprise his role as a starter who doesn't see that many targets.
