Fantasy Football Player Notes

Marvin Harrison Jr.'s second season was derailed by a brutal string of injuries, but the underlying indicators still point toward a potential Year 3 breakout. Even through the missed time, Harrison continued to command high-value usage near the end zone and showed improvement in several key efficiency metrics. From Weeks 1-13, Harrison was the WR27 in PPG. In his last five healthy games...12.8 PPG - low-end fantasy WR1 numbers. Michael Wilson's stark on-off splits highlighted just how important MHJ remained when healthy to the Cardinals passing game. With Mike LaFleur now running the offense and a likely emphasis on moving Harrison around the formation more creatively, the former top-five pick remains a prime post-hype breakout candidate.

Michael Wilson's 2025 breakout came with massive context attached, as nearly all of his fantasy production occurred when Marvin Harrison Jr. was sidelined. Wilson averaged elite WR1 numbers without MHJ in the lineup, but his role and target rate cratered whenever Arizona's No. 1 receiver was active. The Cardinals are also expected to lean more balanced offensively after investing heavily in the run game during the 2026 NFL Draft with the selection of Jeremiyah Love. Wilson can still provide spike weeks, but expecting last season's counting stats to repeat in a healthier Arizona offense feels overly optimistic.
