2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Quiet after early 41-yard TD
Wilson caught two of three targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Wilson capped Arizona's opening drive with a 41-yard touchdown catch but added only one reception the rest of the way. He has been a touchdown-dependent fantasy option all season, having reached 60 receiving yards only twice. Wilson has consistently flirted with that threshold in recent weeks, as he has at least 54 receiving yards in three consecutive games heading into a Week 15 home matchup versus the Patriots.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Cardinals opted to use the second of their third-round picks in the 2023 Draft on Wilson, and with DeAndre Hopkins no longer on the team, the rookie will have a chance to carve out a role quickly alongside fellow wideouts Marquise Brown, Rondale Moore and Greg Dortch. Wilson was afflicted by injuries more often than not during his five years at Stanford, recording 134 catches at a clip of 12.4 yards in 36 contests, but if he can stay healthy this season, he should be able to use his 6-2, 213-pound stature on boundary targets at the very least.

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.
