All Footballguys insights about Michael Wilson

PositiveProjectionJul 2, 2026
Cardinals wideout Michael Wilson broke out with Jacoby Brissett under center during the final eight games of 2025, averaging 11.0 targets and 21.2 fantasy points per game; Wilson was WR6 overall in the 12 games Brissett started but WR2 during those final eight weeks. Incoming head coach Mike LaFleur, who worked under Sean McVay in Los Angeles, told reporters Wilson is likely to play the 'Z' receiver role that Puka Nacua plays for the Rams, meaning more quick-hitting targets and volume directed Wilson's way. Matt Waldman projects Wilson will earn the 9.7 targets per game seen from Nacua during his career in the Rams' offense, with Wilson positioned as the WR1 in this offense who will be the first read in a lot more reps even when the Cardinals go to Carson Beck. Wilson's WR39 Average Draft Position (ADP)—which has been falling since May—and seventh-round price have him going well after Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR31), making Wilson a fantastic value with exactly what was seen last year: WR1 upside.
