While JJ Zachariason acknowledges Michael Wilson is a good player, he believes the situation and value are significantly better for Parker Washington in fantasy drafts.NegativeUsageAug 4, 2026
JJ Zachariason notes that Michael Wilson's 631 routes run in 2025 is a high-water mark that typically regresses by about four routes per game the following year, suggesting a slight decline in his usage floor.NegativeValueJul 2, 2026
JJ Zachariason may still call out Michael Wilson in the avoid section of the guide for season-long leagues, despite being more okay with Cardinals wide receiver picks overall. While Wilson was excellent last year, there's a real chance the gap between him and Marvin Harrison Jr. is smaller in season-long than in best ball, making him less attractive for redraft formats. The gap between Harrison and Wilson has widened to proper levels—now a two-round difference—which reflects the proper valuation difference between the two receivers.PositiveSleeperJun 30, 2026
Wilson is identified as a favorable regression candidate and late-round flyer for best ball in 2026, with a low catchable target rate in 2025 that should improve based on historical regression patterns.NegativeBustMay 28, 2026
Michael Wilson's performance last year raises concerns, as he failed to produce significant fantasy points when Marvin Harrison Jr. was active.NegativeBustMay 19, 2026
Michael Wilson's production last season was heavily reliant on injuries to teammates, making him a risky pick this year.NegativeValueNo date
Michael Wilson has been falling in ADP and is compared to 2024 Jerry Judy in terms of season trajectory; the analyst was contrarian taking him ahead of Marvin Harrison Jr. early in draft season but now leans toward Harrison.PositiveRoleNo date
In three games with Jacoby Burrow and Marvin Harrison Jr. running 80%+ of team routes, Wilson averaged 7.8 PPR points with a 14% target share—unusable production. Wilson only thrived when Harrison Jr. was sidelined, and with Harrison healthy, the analyst expects Wilson's production to decline significantly.
