The Arizona Cardinals just landed a prototypical pocket passer at No. 65 overall in Carson Beck, a massive 6-foot-4, 233-pound field general who brings elite processing and a 72.2-percent Completion Percentage to the desert. Beck displayed an 83.5 College QBR (83rd-percentile) and 8.8 Yards Per Attempt, proving he can slice up defenses with accuracy while with five seasons of college football under his belt.
In dynasty formats, Beck is a high-upside stash likely to sit behind Jacoby Brissett where his 7.07 Yards Per Play and pro-style pedigree make him a savvy mid-round rookie target with the potential to emerge as a high-floor Superflex starter once he claims the throne in an offense featuring Jeremiyah Love, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson.

While Jacoby Brissett’s prolific 2025 season and proven ball distribution skills would provide a more stable 2026 floor for Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson, a developmental rookie could lead to inconsistent targets and lower immediate efficiency. The Cardinals’ have expressed interest in Alabama’s Ty Simpson, though veteran bridge options like Brissett and Gardner Minshew make more sense for a rebuilding roster.
Brissett under center is best case scenario for fantasy football. However, if Simpson goes to Arizona, dynasty leaguers could be presented with a strategic “buy-low” opportunity on McBride/Wilson/Harrison if their market value dips due to rookie-year growing pains. Their long-term value remains insulated regardless of the short-term quarterback volatility.
Jacoby Brissett will have another weapon on hand week 16 vs. the Falcons. Marvin Harrison Jr. will return from a heel injury.
In his absence, receiver Michael Wilson and Trey McBride have put up fantasy week winning numbers. Wilson has 2 WR1 weeks since week 11 and McBride is the overall TE1 in fantasy football. While Harrison should eat into some target share, expect this to be another game where the Cardinals go into throw mode as they are No.1 in team pass plays per game at 42.6.

The Arizona Cardinals were blown out by the Los Angeles Rams but wide receiver Michael Wilson continues his breakout season. Wilson totaled 142 yards and two touchdowns on 11 receptions.
Wilson is now up to 61 catches, for 712 yards and three touchdowns on the season. He’s also had 10+ catches and over 100 yards in three of his last four games.
Most of Wilson’s production has come with Jacoby Brissett under center so as long as Brissett remains the starting quarterback Wilson will continue to be a viable option for fantasy managers.

The Arizona Cardinals may have discovered a gem for their offense in wide receiver Michael Wilson. Due to Marvin Harrison Jr surprise appendectomy, Wilson was thrust into the spotlight and recorded 33.5 ppr fantasy points and was WR1 overall for week 11. Wilson had 15 catches on 18 targets and 185 receiving yards. Harrison Jr. career high in a game is 7 catches.
Micheal Wilson is the hottest wavier wire pick-up, especially if Harrison Jr. is out again against the Jaguars in week 12. The Cardinals are finally able to utilize their offensive weapons under quarterback Jacoby Brissett, leaving Kyler Murray as the odd man out.

Michael Wilson is still struggling with a nagging shoulder injury that has prevented him from playing since Week 10. He will not participate in Sunday’s game against the Steelers, and will have an additional week to recover as the Cardinals have a bye week in Week 14. Although Wilson has yet to make a significant impact in his rookie season, he is still receiving ample playing time, having been on the field for 78.5% of snaps in this offense.
Greg Dortch has emerged as a quality weapon for Kyler Murray in the past two weeks with Wilson out of the lineup. Dortch has been targeted 17 times hauling in 9 catches for 103 yards and a touchdown. Dortch is back in flex consideration for Week 13 for managers in a jam with bye weeks and injuries.
