Who Should I Start? Michael Wilson or Derius Davis

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson exploded for a breakout campaign in 2025, and he could remain one of the team's top fantasy scorers next year. Marvin Harrison Jr. was the consensus No. 1 receiver in Arizona entering the season, but his struggles created a perfect scenario for Wilson to break out, and the 26-year-old capitalized on this opportunity. Playing most of the season with Jacoby Brissett as his quarterback (plus a few weeks of Kyler Murray), Wilson delivered 78 receptions, 1,006 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns. He finished as the WR10 in PPR leagues, ranking ahead of stars like A.J. Brown, CeeDee Lamb, and Justin Jefferson. This outcome is even more incredible when you consider that Wilson didn't have a single double-digit fantasy performance until Week 11. From Week 11 through Week 18, he was simply otherworldly, averaging 21.2 points per game and ranking as the overall WR2 -- behind Puka Nacua and ahead of Jaxon Smith-Njigba. It would be a little too bold to predict another top-10 season from Wilson, so dynasty managers might consider trying to sell high on the Stanford product. With that said, we wouldn't be surprised to see him still have success in 2026. After all, he'll have much-needed consistency at the quarterback position with Brissett coming back, and Arizona didn't bring in any major weapons on offense to compete with him. An offense-oriented scheme under new head coach Mike LaFleur should bode well for Wilson, too. He remains firmly in the top-24 fantasy receiver conversation for next year.
