Michael Wilson 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook
Michael Wilson 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook
It can’t be too surprising that Michael Wilson had a quiet rookie season after injuries held him to just 14 games over his final three collegiate seasons. Naturally, he lacked a bit of the experience required to make a significant impact as a first year NFL player. However, Wilson did enough to draw some intrigue heading into year two. He finished the season with 38 receptions and 565 receiving yards. There were five instances where he was targeted six or more times in a game. In those contests, Wilson averaged 1.94 yards per route and more than 12 fantasy points, according to FantasyPros. That’s nothing to scoff at. And we can’t forget that he was stuck with a combination of Josh Dobbs and Clayton Tune for the first half of the season. Then with Kyler Murray at the helm, Wilson finished the season strong with back-to-back top-24 fantasy performances.

Wilson can use that strong finish to propel him to the No. 2 wide receiver position opposite Marvin Harrison Jr. All that’s in his way is Zay Jones—Greg Dortch will be the slot. That’s a premium position to be in in what is expected to be a potent Cardinals offense. With a healthy Murray, the additions of Harrison and running back Trey Benson, and the ascension of tight end Trey McBride, this could be one of the more explosive units in the NFL. That will only benefit a guy like Michael Wilson.

Remember, Wilson was a guy that impressed in college when he was healthy and shined at the 2023 Senior Bowl. He is a big-bodied playmaker who uses his size, physical strength, and body control to create separation and win in the red zone. He has the athleticism to add value after the catch as well.
Michael Wilson has legitimate upside as the WR2 in Arizona. He needs to be on the radar at the end of best ball and seasonal league drafts. It won’t cost much to get him and the payoff could be huge.
