Michael Wilson News
Saturday, September 12, 6:05 AM
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson broke out in 2025, recording 78 catches for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns on 126 targets. His efforts during Marvin Harrison's injury-related absences were recently rewarded with a three-year, $75 million contract extension. Such a substantial investment suggests a potential changing of the guard at the top of the depth chart, but that can't be taken for granted now that Harrison is healthy. We will get our first look at how the receiving work will be divided in Sunday's season opener against the Chargers. With Jeremiyah Love (ankle) a game-time decision and Arizona a nine-point underdog, it is fair to assume the team will lean into the pass, in which case Wilson should see enough targets to be a viable fantasy option. Given the uncertainty of his role relative to Harrison, both receivers can be expected to eat into each other's work, making Wilson no more than a WR3 candidate in Week 1.

Malik Nabers News
Sunday, September 13, 2:54 PM
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Connor Hughes of SNY. Nabers had been listed as questionable, and although the Giants' medical and coaching staffs cleared him to play, the former first-round pick made it clear that he would be the one to decide whether he could suit up. In the end, he'll play in this primetime showing against the Cowboys, and he presumably won't have any limitations. Nabers averaged a whopping 10.7 targets per game before tearing his ACL last year, so we'd expect him to have a similarly large role in his return to action. Assuming he isn't playing on a snap count, Nabers ranks as a low-end WR1 against the Cowboys, who allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025.
