Michael Wilson News
Friday, July 31, 1:27 PM
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has "generally looked better" than Marvin Harrison Jr. early in training camp, hauling in multiple diving catches while Harrison has "struggled for consistency," according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Harrison is the team's starting X receiver, while Wilson is the starting Z receiver in new head coach Mike LaFleur's offense. Wilson is more of "a move piece," meaning he's still an outside receiver, but he often aligns closer to the formation. Harrison is typically the lone WR on the field when the offense is in three tight-end sets, and so far, Harrison has earned more targets than Wilson, with 17 to Wilson's 12. Wilson broke out with 78 catches, 1,006 yards, and seven touchdowns in 17 games in 2025 in his third year in the league, but the Cardinals were an extremely pass-happy offense, and Harrison missed time due to injury. The 26-year-old former third-rounder in 2023 from Stanford is clearly a player on the rise, but if Harrison stays healthy all year, Wilson won't be a lock to improve on his numbers from a year ago in Arizona's new offense. RotoBaller currently has Wilson ranked as the No. 40 fantasy WR in 2026.

Rome Odunze News
Thursday, July 30, 4:36 PM
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) made comments back in June about his injured foot being the "new normal," which led many to believe he'd never be the WR the team envisioned he'd be when they took him ninth overall in 2024 from the University of Washington. The 24-year-old third-year wideout clarified his "new normal" comments from earlier in the offseason by saying on Thursday that "wasn't really what he meant." What he meant was that he was injured last year, suffering a stress fracture in his foot that limited him in the second half. Odunze had 20 catches for 296 yards and five touchdowns through the first four weeks before catching 24 passes for 365 yards and one TD in the final eight regular-season games. He said his "foot feels great" and "amazing" now and that his foot issue from a year ago isn't a "chronic" injury. Fantasy managers shouldn't be avoiding Odunze in upcoming drafts, especially with DJ Moore now in Buffalo. All the offseason hype has been on second-year wideout Luther Burden III, potentially making Odunze an excellent value pick with WR2 upside in 2026.
