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.
Four catches in Week 6 loss
Wilson brought in four of five targets for 44 yards in the Cardinals' 31-27 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Wilson stepped into a bigger role despite dealing with a finger injury, as Marvin Harrison exited the contest due to a concussion in the second quarter. Wilson's target total was his second highest of the season, while both his catch and yardage tallies represented new high-water marks on the campaign. The third-year wideout may also have benefitted from Jacoby Brissett being under center in place of Kyler Murray (foot), and that same arrangement may hold for a Week 7 home matchup against the Packers next Sunday.

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
Noted as breakout candidate
Wilson should see his production jump in 2024, Doug Haller of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson managed 565 yards and three touchdowns in his rookie season, decent numbers when considering the Cardinals were without starting quarterback Kyler Murray for much of the campaign. However, Arizona added Marvin Harrison in the draft and Zay Jones in free agency this offseason. That clouds Wilson's role heading into his second year, though Haller projects that Wilson will hang onto the second wide receiver job.
