Michael Wilson
Wilson is a boom-or-bust WR3/flier on the Cardinals, valued almost entirely relative to how much target share he can pry away from Marvin Harrison Jr. He's shown enough in camp to draw praise for ball skills, speed, and route-running, but last season's usage data with a healthy Harrison on the field cuts against the bullish camp-report noise.
Early coverage split fast: FantasyPros first flagged the risk on 8/7, noting Wilson barely saw targets when Harrison Jr. was healthy and that he's an impending free agent, then reversed two days later to call him the Cardinals' best value given the ADP gap and a runway to be WR1. Harris Football Podcast went furthest on 8/10, ranking him ahead of Harrison Jr. outright based on current ball skills and route-running. The disagreement isn't really about talent — it's whether camp buzz overrides last year's real target distribution.
The line: Buy Wilson only as a cheap late-round dart on ADP value, not as a bet he outproduces Harrison Jr. in real target share.
