The source rejects the notion that Michael Wilson is filling a 'Puka role' in Arizona's offense, arguing that such a role was invented for Puka Nacua and does not exist as a repeatable archetype. Instead, Michael Wilson plays the Michael Wilson role—a hybrid slot/outside receiver role. Critically, if Marvin Harrison Jr. produces, Michael Wilson is the receiver most likely to suffer in target allocation, as Trey McBride will maintain his share.PositiveValueAug 10, 2026
Scott Barrett makes a case for Michael Wilson as an undervalued asset, emphasizing his role in the Arizona offense and his potential to outperform his current market expectations.PositiveValueAug 4, 2026
Wilson is going in the seventh to early eighth round in most formats. Coach Mike Lafleur has positioned Wilson as a Puka Nakua-type receiver in the offense—a strong, sturdy player who can play between the tackles, insert on safeties, and 'muck it up' in contested situations. Lafleur praised Wilson as 'tough as nails,' 'super competitive,' and 'a really good receiver,' noting similarities to Puka Nakua and Robert Woods in playing style. Wilson will handle the role of inserting on safeties and playing between the tackles in contested situations—a distinct role from Marvin Harrison Jr., who will be moved around the formation. However, Wilson's target share drops dramatically when Harrison is on the field; last season he averaged just 12% target share with Harrison active versus 25% when Harrison was off the field—a huge split that constrains Wilson's fantasy ceiling in the Cardinals offense and makes him a secondary option despite potential value.PositiveBreakoutJul 9, 2026
Emerged as secondary option when Marvin Harrison Jr. was sidelined; now has four times as many career good games as Harrison Jr.; when both were on field last year, Wilson posted 15.8% target share (WR49 ranking), significantly behind Harrison Jr.'s 25.7% (top 12); however, Wilson's emergence during Harrison's absence suggests potential for continued role expansion or at least maintained opportunity in 2025.PositiveUsageJul 9, 2026
