Michael Wilson News
Friday, June 26, 8:40 AM
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson was one of the breakout success stories of the 2025 season, recording 78 receptions for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns on 126 targets across 17 games. Wilson finished the season on a five-game touchdown-scoring streak, and he saw double-digit targets in five out of 12 games after veteran Jacoby Brissett took over as the Cardinals' starting quarterback. Brissett is back as Arizona's starter for 2026, which helps Wilson's outlook. However, Arizona has an ultra-high-volume target-earner in tight end Trey McBride and should get a healthier season out of wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. The Cardinals also averaged over 40 pass attempts per game with Brissett under center in 2025, which seems unlikely to continue under a new coaching staff in 2026. Dynasty managers should feel comfortable holding Wilson, but exploring sell-high opportunities for the 26-year-old could also prove fruitful.

Jalen Coker News
Sunday, July 5, 5:51 PM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker missed the first six games of the 2025 season due to a quad injury. The 24-year-old posted modest numbers upon his return, recording 33 receptions for 394 yards and three touchdowns on 43 targets across 11 games. Still, Carolina saw enough from Coker to sign him to a three-year contract extension over the offseason, and he enters 2026 as the projected WR2 for the Panthers. Coker has missed 12 games across his first two NFL seasons, so injury concerns are unquestionably present in his profile. Still, the young wideout could be in line for a breakout season if he can finally put together a fully healthy campaign. As the WR56 by current average draft position in redraft leagues, Coker may be a sneaky sleeper for fantasy managers to target ahead of 2026.
