Pre-Season Outlook
Wilson had an impressive 2023 rookie season despite missing Weeks 9-14 due to an injury, which meant that he played most of his games with either Joshua Dobbs or Clayton Tune at quarterback. Upon returning from injury in Week 15, the third-round pick seemed to be working his way back into form. In the last two games of the season, with Kyler Murray at quarterback, Wilson averaged five receptions and 55 yards. It's also worth noting that Wilson started the season strong, recording at least 56 yards in five of his first eight games while catching passes from backup quarterbacks. He now figures to land somewhere between second and fourth on Arizona's WR depth chart, as the team lost Marquise Brown this offseason but then drafted Marvin Harrison fourth overall and signed veteran Zay Jones. Slot specialist Greg Dortch is the other receiver in the mix for regular snaps, but it might be him rather than Wilson who faces a threat from Jones this summer.

Running with starters
Wilson is working with the starting offense early in training camp, ahead of newcomer Zay Jones, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: The Cardinals signed Jones in May, shortly after taking fellow wideout Marvin Harrison with the third overall draft pick. With Harrison locked in for a starting spot, the other two starting roles presumably will come down to Wilson, Jones and 5-foot-7 slot man Greg Dortch. Wilson was targeted on 14.1 percent of his routes as a rookie -- one of the lowest rates in the league among starting wide receivers -- but he made the most of his limited chances with a 65.5 percent catch rate and 14.9 yards…read more

Outlook muddied after recent arrivals
Wilson has more competition for targets from quarterback Kyler Murray after the team selected Marvin Harrison fourth overall in this year's draft and then signed seven-year pro Zay Jones last week, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Wilson spent much of the offseason No. 2, at best, in the pecking order in the Cardinals passing game behind tight end Trey McBride, but the recent additions leave Wilson's potential volume in the upcoming campaign up in the air. As a rookie third-round pick last year, Wilson put together a 38-565-3 line on 58 targets in 13 contests, but he produced just 13 catches (on 25 targets) for 164 yards and one touchdown in five outings with Murray under center. The arrival of the dynamic Harrison…read more

Temporarily atop depth chart
Wilson is part of a thin WR room in Arizona after the team traded Rondale Moore and lost Marquise Brown in free agency, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Analysis: That said, the Cardinals own the fourth overall pick in a draft with three elite wide receiver prospects and might end up having their choice of the three. They also have time to pursue veterans, though journeyman Chris Moore has been the only free-agent addition so far. Wilson came in as a third-round pick last season and started 12 of his 13 games while posting excellent per-target efficiency numbers -- 65.5 percent catch rate, 14.9 YPR, 9.7 YPT -- but his low rate of targets per route (14.1…read more

Finishes rookie season on high note
Wilson gathered in all six targets for 95 yards during Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Wilson's yardage total marked a career best for the 2023 third-round pick, but perhaps more promising for the future was the fact he finally seemed to be on the same page with quarterback Kyler Murray. In four previous appearances together this season, the duo connected on just seven of 19 passes for 69 yards and one touchdown. Wilson thus heads into the offseason with a bit of momentum for the 2024 campaign, and he'll end the current season with a cumulative 38-565-3 line on 58 targets, which…read more

Gets back in end zone Sunday
Wilson gathered in four of six targets for 35 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 35-31 victory at Philadelphia.
Analysis: Since sitting out Weeks 11-13 due to a neck injury, Wilson wasn't on the same page with Kyler Murray over the previous two games, failing to record a catch on seven targets. While he wasn't exactly efficient with his looks Sunday (5.8 YPT), Wilson got back in the end zone for the first time since Week 4 on a five-yard touchdown with 5:26 remaining in the contest. He'll aim to keep things up Week 18 against the Seahawks.

To maintain regular role
Wilson will continue to play a regular role in the Cardinals offense in the final two games of the regular season, especially after Marquise Brown (heel) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Regarding Arizona's rookie class in general Thursday, coach Jonathan Gannon said, "Reps are gold right now for those guys, and they'll take the next step." Speaking of reps, Wilson hasn't lacked for them since the team's Week 14 bye, earning at least an 88 percent snap share the last two contests. Having said that, his lack of a rapport with Kyler Murray is evident, as Wilson has been contained to three catches (on 13 targets) for 34 yards in the three games in which they've both played. With…read more

No catches on three targets
Wilson (neck) was targeted three times but did not record a reception in Sunday's 45-29 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Wilson returned from a neck injury that cost him Arizona's last three games leading into the bye week. The 23-year-old failled to record a reception on three targets as he was eased back into action against San Francisco. While his stat line would normally sour any potential fantasy appeal, Wilson could see his role on offense increase if starter Marquise Brown (heel) is unable to suit up against Chicago next Sunday after re-aggravating the same heel injury for the second week in a row.

Wilson (neck) is listed as active Sunday against the 49ers.
Analysis: Wilson didn't play Weeks 11-13 due to a shoulder injury, which was reclassified as a neck issue following the Cardinals' Week 14 bye. He managed a trio of limited practices during Week 15 prep and went into the weekend as questionable to suit up. Fellow wide receiver Marquise Brown's (heel) status also was up in the air for Sunday's game, but both players will be available to Arizona's offense.

Likely to suit up Sunday
Wilson (neck), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Following the Cardinals' Week 14 bye, Wilson was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday and looks poised to make his return to the lineup for the first time since Week 10. Confirmation on Wilson's status will arrive no later than 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, when Arizona will release its inactive list. In his nine appearances prior to missing time with the neck injury, the rookie compiled a 28-435-2 receiving line on 39 targets.

Officially questionable for Week 15
Wilson (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Analysis: Wilson last played Week 10 and seems to have benefitted from a Week 14 bye. He was a limited practice participant throughout the week, with coach Jonathan Gannon saying Friday that the rookie looked good in practice and should be ready to "pick up where he left off" before the injury, per PHNX Cardinals.

Limited again Thursday
Wilson (neck) was limited in practice Thursday, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: Wilson's last appearance occurred in Week 10, and while his absences Weeks 11-13 were blamed on a shoulder injury, the Cardinals now are listing him with a neck issue after their Week 14 bye. He's managed back-to-back capped sessions so far this week and will have one more opportunity to get back to all activity before the team potentially gives him a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Wilson (neck) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: In the wake of the Cardinals' Week 14 bye, Wilson got back on the field with a capped session to begin Week 15 prep and will have two more chances to get back to full activity before week's end. While his absences before the bye were attributed to a shoulder injury, he's now being listed with a neck issue.

Wilson (shoulder) was spotted taking part in Monday's unofficial practice session, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Analysis: Though the Cardinals were back on the field Monday following a Week 14 bye, the team won't have to submit its first Week 15 injury report until Wednesday, at which point it will be known whether Wilson is practicing as a full or limited participant. The fact that the rookie receiver is at least practicing in some capacity is an encouraging sign after he had sat out Arizona's last three games while missing six consecutive practices.

Ruled out again
Wilson (shoulder) will not play Sunday against the Steelers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Analysis: 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.

Sits out another practice
Wilson (shoulder) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: 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.

Wilson (shoulder) will not play Sunday against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed Friday that Wilson will be inactive for a third time in four games. The Cardinals may want to hold him out another week at this point, as their Dec. 3 contest in Pittsburgh is followed by a late bye in Week 14. Greg Dortch took on most of Wilson's snaps in a loss to the Texans last Sunday, catching six of eight targets for 76 yards while playing more snaps on offense (46 - 75 percent) than he had in every prior game combined this year (45).

Friday's injury report could be telling for both players' chances to suit up this weekend, but with Zach Pascal (hamstring) also limited Wednesday and Thursday, Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch and Andre Baccellia are the team's healthy WRs on the active roster.

Wilson (shoulder) is listed as inactive Sunday in Houston.
Analysis: 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.

Analysis: According to Schefter, Wilson suffered a setback this week, making him unlikely to avoid the Cardinals' inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Has three catches in return
Wilson (shoulder) gathered in three of six targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 25-23 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: 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.

Finishes second in team receiving
Wilson had four receptions on six targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 31-24 loss to Baltimore.
Analysis: The Stanford product wound up finishing behind tight end Trey McBride (10-95-1) for the team lead in receiving yards. Wilson is quietly putting together a solid season with a 25-401-2 receiving line through eight weeks. Expect him to continue serving as the Cardinals No. 2 wideout while catching passes from Joshua Dobbs when Arizona goes on the road to face Cleveland in Week 9, but Kyler Murray (knee) could be back under center as soon as Week 10.

Having said that, an uneven passing game led by quarterback Joshua Dobbs resulted in another lacking performance for the rookie third-round pick. It's unclear when Kyler Murray (knee) will be activated from the reserve/PUP list, so Wilson may be tough to trust for fantasy purposes until there's more stability under center.

Little output Sunday
Wilson gathered in one of two targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: 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.
