2025 Fantasy Outlook
A 2023 third-round pick who ran a 4.58 40 at 6-foot-2, 213 pounds, Wilson is shaping up as Arizona's version of Darius Slayton -- good enough to keep a starting job, but not good enough to prevent discussion of replacing him. Wilson dropped from 14.9 yards per catch as a rookie to 11.7 in 2024, but there wasn't much change in his peripheral stats, and the overall production ended up being similar thanks to staying healthy for all 17 games. The Cardinals then declined to add serious target/snap competition in the offseason, apparently content to start a lightly targeted player like Wilson in an offense where WR Marvin Harrison and TE Trey McBride figure to account for at least half of the volume and production. A Year 3 breakout for Wilson isn't impossible, but it would probably look something like 800 yards and 5-6 TDs, still leaving him short of mainstream fantasy value as anything other than a bye-week replacement.

RANKS
Signed a four-year, $5.34 million contract with the Cardinals in May of 2023.
Continues to thrive as No. 1 WR
Wilson hauled in 10 of 15 targets for 118 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
Wilson is taking full advantage of teammate Marvin Harrison's (appendix) continued absence, with the former producing his second 100-plus yard performance in his second game operating as Arizona's top wideout. The ascension of veteran backup Jacoby Brissett's game since taking over for Kyler Murray (foot) can also be attributed to Wilson's rapid rise in the fantasy ranks. It is unclear how long Harrison will remained sidelined while recovering from appendix surgery, but it has become clear that Wilson should be treated as a must-start option in fantasy until that day comes. Harrison hasn't been ruled out for next Sunday's tilt in Tampa Bay, but there is reason to believe that Wilson could remain fantasy relevant even after his teammate's return given the way the Cardinals are airing the ball out.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
A 2023 third-round pick, Wilson earned a starting job right away amidst a thin Arizona receiving group. Despite playing the first half of the year with backup quarterbacks, Wilson averaged 50 receiving yards a game. A Week 8 shoulder injury cost him four of the next five games and he wasn't right until late in the year. By that time Kyler Murray was back from his ACL injury and the QB and WR clicked, with Wilson catching 10 of 12 targets for 130 yards and a TD in the final two games. The Cardinals added Marvin Harrison with the fourth overall pick in the draft and then signed 6-2 Zay Jones in May. That probably leaves Wilson as the No. 3 WR with an opportunity to continue playing a lot of snaps in a possession role. Target volume is a bigger question, as Murray really honed in on TE Trey McBride last year and also seems to like slot man Greg Dortch. And while Wilson produced 9.7 YPT last year, he drew targets on only 14.7 percent of his routes -- a similar rate as players like DJ Chark, Darnell Mooney and Jahan Dotson.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
WR1 again after career-best game
Wilson is set to remain Arizona's top wide receiver in Week 12 against the Jaguars, as Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports that Marvin Harrison will miss a second consecutive game due to appendicitis.
ANALYSIS
Wilson had the best game of his career in Harrison's absence, catching 15 of 18 targets for 185 yards in Arizona's Week 11 loss to the 49ers. With the Cardinals banged up at both wide receiver and running back, Wilson and Trey McBride will likely both continue to see plenty of targets from Jacoby Brissett in Week 12 against a Jaguars defense that has been inconsistent in 2025.
