Michael Wilson

23-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
Arizona Cardinals
2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Cardinals opted to use the second of their third-round picks in the 2023 Draft on Wilson, and with DeAndre Hopkins no longer on the team, the rookie will have a chance to carve out a role quickly alongside fellow wideouts Marquise Brown, Rondale Moore and Greg Dortch. Wilson was afflicted by injuries more often than not during his five years at Stanford, recording 134 catches at a clip of 12.4 yards in 36 contests, but if he can stay healthy this season, he should be able to use his 6-2, 213-pound stature on boundary targets at the very least.

Three grabs in Sunday's loss
WRArizona Cardinals
September 17, 2023
Wilson caught all three of his targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Giants.
ANALYSIS
He tied Zach Ertz for the team lead in receiving yards while catching multiple passes for the second straight game to begin his NFL career. Wilson is quickly earning the trust of Joshua Dobbs, but the 2023 third-round pick will have troubling making an impact in Week 3 against an elite Cowboys defense.
