Wilson is most valuable in Dynasty leagues because he is a rookie receiver with an uncertain QB situation and a lot of competition for targets. We like him in Round 3 of rookie drafts, For now, we are avoiding him in all but the deepest of redraft leagues, but a good training camp could change that. Wilson is a raw prospect who has struggled with injuries in college, but he is also one of the only receivers over 6-foot on the Cardinals roster. In other words, if he shines in camp there should be a spot on the field for him.
Wilson (shoulder) will not play Sunday against the Steelers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Coach Jonathan Gannon ruled Wilson out before practice Friday, likely giving Greg Dortch at least one more week in a top-three role at wide receiver. The rookie will enter a Week 14 bye having missed three consecutive games and four of the past five, though the fact he hasn't been placed on injured reserve suggests there's some chance he'll be ready for Week 15 against the 49ers.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Sits out another practice
Rotowire
Wilson (shoulder) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Wilson is set to go down as a non-participant on the Cardinals' fifth practice report in a row, and unless he can get back on the field in some capacity Friday, he'll most likely miss a third consecutive game this weekend in Pittsburgh. In addition to Wilson, quarterback Kyler Murray could be down a couple other key passing-game weapons, as wideout Marquise Brown (heel) and tight end Trey McBride (groin) were also spectators at practice Thursday for the second day in a row.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Sits out practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Wilson (shoulder) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Wilson has been tending to a shoulder injury that has affected him for the entirety of November and limited him to one appearance over the last three games. On Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Wilson suffered a setback with his shoulder late last week, and the rookie wideout now isn't logging any on-field work to begin Week 12 prep. Wilson will have two more chances to mix into drills before the Cardinals potentially make a ruling on his availability ahead of Sunday's contest against the Rams.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Sitting out Sunday
Rotowire
Wilson (shoulder) is listed as inactive Sunday in Houston.
Prior to opening November with a shoulder injury, Wilson was enjoying a fruitful rookie campaign, tallying a cumulative 25-401-2 line on 33 targets in the first eight games of his career. Since then, he sat out Week 9 and played through the issue Week 10 against the Falcons on his way to three more catches for 34 yards. During Week 11 prep, he wasn't listed on Cardinals practice reports until Friday, when he was tagged with a questionable designation. On Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Wilson suffered a setback with his shoulder late in the week and wasn't in line to play, which has come to pass. With Zach Pascal (hamstring) also sidelined, Arizona's available wide receivers this weekend are Marquise Brown, Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch and Andre Baccellia.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Added to report as questionable
Rotowire
Wilson (shoulder) was added to the injury report Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Houston, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Wilson missed Week 9 with a shoulder injury, then returned for Week 10 after being listed as questionable. He wasn't on the injury report to start this week, and his addition Friday might mean he suffered some kind of setback as Arizona prepares for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff in Houston. With Zach Pascal (hamstring) ruled out, the only healthy wide receivers on the roster as of Friday are Marquise Brown, Rondale Moore and Greg Dortch, all of whom are listed at 175-to-180 pounds. The Cardinals have WRs Davion Davis, Kaden Davis and Andre Baccellia on their practice squad.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Has three catches in return
Rotowire
Wilson (shoulder) gathered in three of six targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 25-23 win over the Falcons.
In his return from a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury, Wilson worked with quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) for the first time in his brief career, and the rookie third-round pick extended his streak with at least three catches to four games. Granted, the quartet of performances has resulted in only a 13-180-0 line on 21 targets, but with Murray under center moving forward, Wilson may have a chance for more consistent production on a weekly basis. Wilson next takes on the Texans on the road on Sunday, Nov. 19.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Remains limited at practice
Rotowire
Wilson (shoulder) was limited at Thursday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
After a week in which he didn't practice before the Cardinals made him inactive this past Sunday in Cleveland, Wilson has consecutive capped sessions in his back pocket to kick off Week 10 prep. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not he enters the weekend with an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Ultimately, if he's able to suit up this weekend, Wilson likely will be working with quarterback Kyler Murray, who is poised to make his return from last year's torn ACL.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Not suiting up Sunday
Rotowire
Wilson (shoulder) is listed as inactive Sunday at Cleveland.
A shoulder injury didn't allow Wilson to practice at all during Week 9 prep, and the rookie third-round pick now will miss the first game of his career. With Wilson in street clothes, the Cardinals may rely even more on top wide receiver Marquise Brown and tight end Trey McBride in the passing game, but WRs Rondale Moore, Zach Pascal, Greg Dortch (ankle) and Andre Baccellia also are candidates for additional reps.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Spectator for Thursday's practice
Rotowire
Wilson (shoulder) isn't taking part in Thursday's practice, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Wilson will go down as a non-participant on the Cardinals' injury report for the second day in a row after he sustained a shoulder injury late in this past Sunday's loss to the Ravens. The Cardinals haven't confirmed that Wilson's injury is something significant, but the rookie wideout's status for this Sunday's game in Cleveland is nonetheless in question at the moment. Wilson will likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to have a legitimate chance at playing this weekend.

Rotowire
Wilson didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
In the portion of Wednesday's session open to the media, Wilson was seen working on the side, per Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com. Along with confirmation that he was a non-participant and the specific health concern, the reason for Wilson's late exit from this past Sunday's loss to the Ravens now has been clarified. He'll have two more chances this week to log some on-field work before the Cardinals potentially give him a designation for Sunday's contest at Cleveland.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Tending to injury
Rotowire
Wilson worked off to the side at Wednesday's practice while he recovers from an undisclosed injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Wilson exited late in Sunday's 31-24 loss to Baltimore and finished the day with four catches for 58 yards on six targets, but the Cardinals didn't provide an immediate explanation for his early departure. Arizona should clarify the matter with the release of their first Week 9 injury report later Wednesday.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Wilson is worth a look in deeper leagues as a boom-or-bust No. 3 Fantasy receiver given the matchup with Seattle. The Seahawks are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and nine receivers have scored at least 13.7 PPR points against Seattle this year. I love the setup for Marquise Brown this week -- he's scored at least 16.1 PPR points in four of six games this season -- but hopefully Wilson takes advantage of this matchup as well. He has at least 62 receiving yards in three of his past four games, but he's only topped 10.6 PPR points once over that span when he scored his first two touchdowns of the season at San Francisco in Week 4. Hopefully, Joshua Dobbs and Wilson can hook up for a big play or two, and it would be great if Wilson found the end zone again in Week 7.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Team-high receiving yards in loss
Rotowire
Wilson secured three of four targets for 62 yards in the Cardinals' 26-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
The fleet-footed wideout tied with Trey McBride for the team lead in yardage, although the latter got to the 62-yard mark via a meaningless catch on the game's last play. Wilson's performance was encouraging and represented a solid resurgent effort after he'd been held to a career-low one reception and 18 yards by the Bengals in Week 5. Wilson now has over 50 receiving yards in four of the last five contests, giving him some momentum heading into a favorable Week 7 road matchup against the Seahawks.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Little output Sunday
Rotowire
Wilson gathered in one of two targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Bengals.
Despite logging his second-highest snap share (75 percent) of the season, Wilson had the fewest catches and yards in any of his five games as a pro to date. The rookie third-round pick continued to operate as the team's No. 2 WR behind Marquise Brown (91 percent) and ahead of Rondale Moore (67 percent). However, he may have a tough time taking advantage of that usage this Sunday against a Rams defense that has conceded the seventh-fewest yards per catch (7.0) to wide receivers this season.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Two TDs in losing effort
Rotowire
Wilson caught all seven of his targets for 76 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 35-16 loss to San Francisco.
Wilson was already coming off of his best fantasy game of the season against Dallas in Week 3 (2-86-0), but he raised the bar once more with his first and second touchdowns of his young career. The rookie's seven targets still finished behind Marquise Brown and tight end Zach Ertz, who tied for the team lead with 10 targets in Sunday's loss. Wilson has an opportunity to usurp the struggling Rondale Moore (no receptions Sunday) as the No. 2 wideout for Arizona if he hasn't done so already. Wilson will look to continue his recent string of success in a home matchup against the Bengals next Sunday.

Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Three grabs in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Wilson caught all three of his targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Giants.
He tied Zach Ertz for the team lead in receiving yards while catching multiple passes for the second straight game to begin his NFL career. Wilson is quickly earning the trust of Joshua Dobbs, but the 2023 third-round pick will have troubling making an impact in Week 3 against an elite Cowboys defense.
