Ah, the Arizona Cardinals, a team full of peculiarities. From spending a top-five pick on Jeremiyah Love despite having two other starting-caliber running backs to letting journeyman quarterback Jacoby Brissett hold them hostage in contract negotiations, not much of what the Cardinals do makes sense.
The Cardinals' wide receiver corps is certainly a question mark as well. Former top-five pick Marvin Harrison Jr. has been a massive disappointment since entering the league in 2024, while 2023 third-round pick Michael Wilson played like a superstar down the stretch last season.
Here's how to decide between Harrison and Wilson in 2026 fantasy football drafts.
Marvin Harrison Jr. 2026 fantasy football outlook
Harrison has yet to put it all together at the NFL level despite being one of the most hyped
receiving prospects in recent memory. He's got a strong 6-foot-3 frame but plays much smaller at the catch point, and he struggles to get separation. Perhaps another year with Brissett will help Harrison, but expecting him to produce more than he has to this point is purely wishcasting.
Michael Wilson 2026 fantasy football outlook
Wilson helped a lot of fantasy teams win championships last season, becoming Brissett's favorite garbage time target. Arizona just gave him a three-year, $75 million contract extension, so clearly they value his skillset and view him as an ascending player. The Cardinals are expected to trail a bunch again this year, so Wilson remains in a position to be a highly-productive WR2.
Is Marvin Harrison Jr. or Michael Wilson better fantasy football pick?
Wilson, by a mile. He's proven time and again he's a flat-out better player than Harrison, in real life and in fantasy. It's time to get over the past with Harrison and accept the reality that he's not the difference-maker many thought he'd be.
