Wilson had two receptions on five targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 36-30 overtime loss to Carolina. Wilson finished second in receiving yards despite catching just two passes for the Cardinals in a game during which no receiver went over 50 yards. The sophomore out of Stanford bounced back from last week's dud in which he registered just nine yards on the same amount of touches he saw Sunday. Wilson remains limited to deep-league value heading into Saturday's contest against the Rams.

Wilson had two receptions on five targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 36-30 overtime loss to Carolina. Wilson finished second in receiving yards despite catching just two passes for the Cardinals in a game during which no receiver went over 50 yards. The sophomore out of Stanford bounced back from last week's dud in which he registered just nine yards on the same amount of touches he saw Sunday. Wilson remains limited to deep-league value heading into Saturday's contest against the Rams.
Wilson caught both of his targets for nine yards during Sunday's 30-17 win against the Patriots. Wilson's 74 percent snap share Sunday was in the range of his norm this season, but TE Trey McBride (10 targets), WR Marvin Harrison (six) and RB James Conner (five) continue to dominate the attention of QB Kyler Murray. Wilson has recorded multiple receptions in five consecutive contests, a span in which he's accrued a 14-199-1 line on 20 targets. He'll continue on in his modest role in the Cardinals offense this coming Sunday at Carolina.
Wilson caught two of three targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks. 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.
Wilson caught five of seven targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 23-22 loss to the Vikings. The five grabs were the most for Wilson since Week 8, but the second-year wideout once again took a back seat to Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison in the Cardinals' passing attack. Wilson has seen at least four targets in three straight games, his longest-such streak of the season, and his role could continue to grow in Week 14 against the Seahawks.
Wilson hauled in two of four targets for 54 yards during Sunday's 16-6 loss at Seattle. Trey McBride dominated the attention of QB Kyler Murray on Sunday to the tune of 15 targets, which translated to a 12-133-0 line for the tight end. Murray still put up 37 passes, though, and Wilson was among three other Cardinals to earn at least four targets (Marvin Harrison had six, James Conner recorded five). Since Wilson was blanked on one target back in Week 9, he's had modest results the last two contests, combining for five catches (on eight targets) for 78 yards and no touchdowns. He'll remain a regular in Arizona's passing game this coming Sunday in Minnesota.
Wilson gathered in three of four targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 31-6 win versus the Jets. After getting blanked on one target during a Week 9 victory against the Bears, Wilson made a mark in the box score Sunday, but he still ranked fourth in targets among Cardinals behind WR Marvin Harrison, TE Trey McBride and RB James Conner, all of whom earned five. All three at least doubled up Wilson's receiving yardage total, and Harrison was on the receiving end of QB Kyler Murray's only TD pass. Wilson hasn't surpassed 31 yards in five consecutive contests, leaving his fantasy value waning as Arizona enters its Week 11 bye.
Wilson didn't gather in his only target during Sunday's 29-9 victory against the Bears In a game in which the Cardinals were having their way with the Bears on the ground, Wilson and his fellow pass catchers were on the receiving end of only 20 passes from QB Kyler Murray versus 34 carries overall as a team. As a result, Wilson didn't record a catch for the first time in nine contests this season, and his single target marked a campaign low. Even rookie first-round WR Marvin Harrison (2-34-0 on five targets) and stellar third-year TE Trey McBride (3-35-0 on four targets) were unable to produce much in the passing game, so Wilson's lacking performance is somewhat justified. Still, Wilson will look to get back in the box score this coming Sunday versus the Jets.
Wilson caught one of three targets for 15 yards in Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers. Wilson played 44 of the Cardinals 57 offensive snaps Monday, trailing Marvin Harrison (48) but well ahead of depth wideouts Greg Dortch (17), Zay Jones (11) and Zach Pascal (2). Despite his healthy snap share as the No. 2 wideout, the 24-year-old was unable to make much of an impact in Arizona's aerial attack. With the offense struggling to perform consistently from week to week, Wilson's fantasy utility continues to be inconsistent, as well.
Wilson (ankle) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Monday's contest against the Chargers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports. Both Wilson and Marvin Harrison shed their respective injury labels ahead of Monday. Wilson has seen at least four targets in each of the past four games, but Arizona's inconsistencies passing the ball have kept things in check somewhat for the second-year wideout, who has just 18 catches for 201 yards and a touchdown over that stretch. The Chargers are dealing with injuries across its secondary, so it's possible Wilson and Harrison could get back on track under the primetime lights.
