Wilson brought in four of seven targets for 30 yards and completed his only pass attempt for seven yards in the Cardinals' 45-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Wilson wasn't able to approach his usual elevated numbers against a Lions defense that had struggled against the pass. The typically busy receiver still finished tied for third in targets and also slotted in third in receptions, but Wilson ultimately generated his second-lowest reception and receiving yardage tallies of 2026. Marvin Harrison was traded to the Texans earlier Sunday, so despite Wilson's quiet afternoon, fantasy managers now know Wilson will have one fewer competitor for targets from Jacoby Brissett moving forward.
Wilson secured 11 of 17 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Wilson's afternoon was reminiscent of several of those in his 2025 campaign, as the veteran receiver garnered a bulk of Jacoby Brissett's attention in his short- and mid-range role while leading the team in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Marvin Harrison was a bit more involved Sunday with three catches for 40 yards on five targets, but it appears clear Wilson and Trey McBride have far and away the most chemistry with Brissett. Wilson will take an 18-163-1 line on 31 targets in a Week 4 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.
Everyone sharing the ball with Michael, most valuable first.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
Wilson caught two of seven targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Seahawks.
Wilson and the rest of the Cardinals' offense never got going Sunday, but he still finished second on the team in targets behind tight end Trey McBride (10) in the contest. Wilson continues to be quarterback Jacoby Brissett's favorite option at wide receiver, garnering 14 targets over the first two games of the regular season. The 26-year-old will look to find paydirt for the first time in 2026 when Arizona travels to face the 49ers in Week 3.
Wilson secured five of seven targets for 56 yards in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Wilson saw No. 3 receiver Kendrick Bourne outpace him by three catches, 19 receiving yards and one target, an interesting development to at least keep in mind in the early portion of the season. However, Wilson still enjoyed a solid role that saw him record four more catches on four additional targets than No. 1 wideout Marvin Harrison, and there's no questioning Wilson's chemistry with Jacoby Brissett after the duo generated multiple fantasy-friendly stat lines last season. Wilson therefore retains plenty of fantasy viability despite a tough Week 2 home matchup against the Seahawks next Sunday.
The Cardinals have made attempts to figure out a contract extension with Wilson ahead of the 2026 campaign, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
A 2023 third-round pick of Arizona, Wilson wasn't able to tap into his full potential until his third season in 2025, but once QB Jacoby Brissett took over the offense Week 6, the wide receiver was off and running thereafter, posting a 70-954-6 line on 108 targets over the final 12 contests. The run included three 100-yard receiving games and at least one touchdown grab in each of the final five weeks for Wilson. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, his situation is pending, and whether or not it gets decided before Week 1 or next offseason remains to be seen.
