Michael Wilson - In line for extension?
sleeper-rotowire+4 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Wilson is a candidate for a contract extension as he enters the final year of his rookie deal, Darren Urban of azcardinals.com reports. Coming off a 1,000-yard breakout last season, Wilson told reporters Wednesday that his contract situation won't dictate his offseason. He's been participating in voluntary practices, catching passes from Gardner Minshew, Carson Beck and Kedon Slovis while Jacoby Brissett remains away from the team due to his own contract situation. Anyone invested in Wilson's success is rooting for Brissett to make as many starts as possible, though the fantasy results presumably will be less impressive now that the Cardinals have a new coaching staff and a new backfield. Wilson's late-season surge occurred in an offense without WR Marvin Harrison or RB Jeremiyah Love, and with Brissett attempting more than 40 passes per game. Wilson handled the volume well, but that doesn't mean he'll see anything similar in a 2026 Arizona offense where Love and TE Trey McBride look like the safest bets to pile up volume

Cardinals Interested in Inking Michael Wilson to a Long-Term Extension
The Arizona Cardinals have made it clear that they are interested in signing wide receiver Michael Wilson to a long-term contract extension this offseason as he enters the final year of his rookie deal in 2026, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com. "Michael is everything we want in our program to be about," general manager Monti Ossenfort said in February. Wilson exploded in the second half of 2025 for a breakout season, finishing with 78 catches for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns after he had an 8-52-1 line five games into the campaign. It was the first time that he recorded 1,000 yards, and the first time he had played in every game of the season. The 26-year-old former third-rounder in 2023 out of Stanford is due to make $3.9 million in 2026. Although the Cardinals' offense won't be nearly as pass-happy as it was in 2025, Wilson's performance in the desert last year has boosted both his dynasty and redraft fantasy stock as he'll continue to work with veteran QB Jacoby Brissett in 2026. He's now up to No. 34 in RotoBaller's dynasty/keeper WR rankings for the upcoming season

The Arizona Cardinals 2026 schedule surfaced. Get tickets to see Jeremiyah Love
SeatGeek is the official NFL Ticketing Partner of the New York Post. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. With a little luck, the Arizona Cardinals would have had a much better 2025 season. Unfortunately, very little went the team’s way last year and, after starting 2-0, they finished 3-14, ending the year on a torturous nine-game losing streak. Yet, what that tawdry record doesn’t indicate is that a whopping games were lost by seven points or less. Had they just gotten the job done, Kyler Murray and head coach Jonathan Gannon may have stuck around. Sadly, that wasn’t in the…ummm…cards. Instead, this year, Mike LaFleur inherits head coaching duties and Jacoby Brissett — who started 14 games in ’25 and went 1-11 — returns. To add insult to injury, the squad has the third-toughest schedule of any team in the NFL. Notable opponents dropping into Glendale, Ariz.’s State Farm Stadium this year include Jared Goff ’s Detroit Lions (Oct. 11), Bo Nix ’s Denver Broncos (Oct. 25), Matthew Stafford ’s Los Angeles Rams (Nov. 15), Jalen Hurts ’ Philadelphia Eagles (Dec. 6) and Brock Purdy ’s San Francisco 49ers on Jan. 9 or 10 in the final game of the regular season. Plus, Sam Darnold ’s defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks will be swinging in too on Sunday, Sept. 20 aka the Cards’ home opener. Thankfully, Brissett and the Cardinals got a bit of insurance in standout rookie running back Jeremiyah Love, as well as draft picks Chase Bisontis, Carson Beck and Kaleb Proctor. Offseason acquisitions Devin Duvernay , Isaac Seumalo , Tyler Allgeier , Kendrick Bourne and quarterback insurance Gardner Minshew join them. Franchise tight end Trey McBride , 2025 star signee Josh Sweat , starting wideout Michael Wilson , elite safety Budda Baker and offensive line anchor Paris Johnson Jr. return, too. If you want to root yourself hoarse in the Valley of the Sun, tickets are available for all eight Arizona Cardinals 2026 home games at Glendale’s State Farm Stadium on SeatGeek.

Ranking all 17 Detroit Lions 2026 games by difficulty
The Detroit Lions’ schedule for 2026 has officially dropped . If Detroit wants to improve upon their 9-8 season from the year prior, they need to not only win the easy games, but also win those toss-ups against tough foes and divisional opponents. While the Lions benefit on paper from a fourth-place schedule, winning in the NFL is no easy task. Pre-summer expectations go out the window once the regular season rolls around—what looks like an easy schedule in May could materialize into a gauntlet by season’s end. Let’s examine their slate of games to see which ones should be cakewalks and which ones could pose a significant challenge. While 2026 should be less of a train wreck for the Jets, they nonetheless remain one of the worst teams in the NFL and should be easy pickings for the Lions . There’s the added bonus that the Lions are playing them at home and early in the season—if the Jets are going to turn things around, it won’t happen this early. If anything, I wish that this was a road game in order to give Detroit a tougher opponent at home instead. Is Malik Willis enough to turn around a barren Dolphins team? I think not, but stranger things have happened before. As it stands, this should be a dominant victory for Detroit. A road game in Miami in November should yield modest temperatures as well. Unless De’Von Achane runs away with the game, this is a very winnable matchup for Detroit. Normally, I would rank a late-season game as a tougher matchup, as there is a higher likelihood of missing key starters. That being said, even a depleted Lions roster should outclass the Titans, barring a massive step forward from Cam Ward and company under new head coach Robert Saleh. I do think their defense could be sneakily good, however. With Jeremiyah Love, Trey McBride , Marvin Harrison Jr. , Michael Wilson , and Tyler Allgeier , the Cardinals have a fair number of weapons on offense that could scare the Lions defense. However, they have a major question mark at quarterback. I doubt that Jacoby Brissett is the answer, and it might take longer than Week 5 for Carson Beck to get a shot—even then, the rookie slid to the third round for a reason. The Panthers made the playoffs last season, but it was due to a paltry NFC South division resulting in an 8-9 team winning the crown. They lost one of their few spark plugs in Rico Dowdle to free agency, meaning that the offense will have to be carried by Bryce Young and Tetairoa McMillan . McMillan has promise, but time is running out on Young to show that he is more than a middling quarterback. Much like the Cardinals, the Falcons have a ton of offensive weapons but significant issues at quarterback. Unless one of Michael Penix or Tua Tagovailoa can run demonstrate some reliability, they may be a team forced to rely on the playmakers around them. Unlike the Cardinals, I think they can survive with subpar quarterback play thanks to Bijan Robinson , who can and will single-handedly carry that offense. The Lions draw the Giants for a late-season “Monday Night Football” tilt. While it seems like an easy victory for the Lions in May, a John Harbaugh-led Giants team could look significantly different by season’s end. For as bad as the Giants looked last season, the bulk of it can be placed on Brian Daboll at head coach and injuries to Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo . With Arvell Reese added to an already dangerous pass rush, they could be a team that outperforms low expectations. My hot take is that the Saints should run away with the NFC South title this season. Sure, that might not mean much when the Panthers won it with a losing record last year, but I genuinely think they have a high ceiling. Tyler Shough was quietly great in his rookie season, while the offense has only gotten better with the additions of Travis Etienne and Jordyn Tyson—the Saints defense is decent as well. A Week 1 home game is favorable for the Lions, who get to face a team that might not have found their groove yet. W [... truncated ...]

Fantasy Football: Nico Collins, TreVeyon Henderson among 8 players with ADPs worth tracking this summer
Here, we’ll go over eight early fantasy football average draft positions (ADP) I’m planning to track over the summer, as they raise an eyebrow one way or the other. I’m not ready to say these guys are overvalued or undervalued with certainty just yet, but they are players we should track and debate heavily over the next couple of months to iron out those takes. Note: All ADP data comes from the FantasyPros half-PPR consensus as of this publication. The harsh reality is that it’s going to be tough for Trey McBride to repeat as the TE1 overall, and therefore, make good on a top-15 overall ADP. McBride ran 694 routes last season, over 60 more than any other wide receiver — his teammate Michael Wilson was second with 630. Even more shocking, it was over 120 more than the next-highest tight end, Travis Kelce, with 573. It would be a massive disappointment if Arizona, which was in a severe negative game script and was relentlessly dropping back to pass for well over half of the 2025 season, repeats those numbers. Not to mention, if Marvin Harrison Jr. is healthy this season after missing chunks of time and playing through the back-half of the season with a heel injury, targets won’t be consolidated between just McBride and Wilson. Arizona also added a special receiving back in Jeremiyah Love. Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL season The squeeze for targets and more competition won’t doom McBride’s production. He’s too good for that. But it will carve into his fantasy ceiling. Brock Bowers should be ranked as the TE1 ahead of McBride and even then, 15th overall might be a bit too rich for him, too. Collins was WR10 last year in points per game and generally kept pace with some of the non-elite WR1s from a scoring standpoint. His role as the X-receiver in Houston’s offense does make him a bit more boom or bust on a weekly basis than some can deal with but I have some hopes (based on their Year 2 receivers breaking into the full-time rotation) that he can move around more in 2026. My guess is that the last memory we have of C.J. Stroud is unfairly pushing down perceptions of the Texans offense, which has its frustrations regardless. Stroud was sandwiched between Patrick Mahomes and Sam Darnold in EPA per play among starting quarterbacks last year during the regular season. That’s a guy who is good enough to feed a WR1 the ball, at the very least. You can make a credible argument that Collins is just as good a or better bet as WRs Malik Nabers (17th overall), Rashee Rice (23rd), Drake London (24th) or George Pickens (26th). It feels like a massive leap for Hampton to be this high in the running back rankings but it does make some sense. He was productive in a limited sample, finishing the season as the RB15 in points per game over nine contests. Hampton was also playing really well right before he went down with an injury. The Year 2 jump is very available to him and he is pretty uncontested as the clear lead back in Los Angeles. The Chargers hired Mike McDaniel as their offensive coordinator and he’s well-known for his prowess as a run-game designer. There’s also a strong argument that Hampton fits an outside zone run game, which McDaniel should employ, better than the gap-based design of Greg Roman’s desires. There’s no doubt Tetairoa McMillan was extremely productive relative to his environment in his first NFL season, where he ended up winning Offensive Rookie of the Year and clearing 1,000 yards receiving. I’m also a firm believer that McMillan could be more consistently productive if he’s moved around the formation more often and takes fewer reps as the X-receiver. We saw the fruits of that theory in his massive Week 11 game against the Falcons, where he caught three passes for 31 yards and a score from the slot. He averaged 2.0 yards per route run from the slot as a rookie. The Panthers' drafting Chris Brazzell as a boundary stretch receiver should allow the rookie to take some sacrificial [... truncated ...]

Varied Opinions on Michael Wilson Could Create Unique Trade Opportunities
Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson had a breakout 2025 season, topping 1,000 yards and finishing as WR2 from Week 11. However, opinions are split on his future target share due to the return of QB Jacoby Brissett, the presence of RBs James Conner and Trey Benson, the addition of Tyler Allgeier, and the health of WR Marvin Harrison Jr. This creates potential buy-low or sell-high opportunities for Wilson in dynasty leagues
