- Michael Wilson profiles as one of the most effective pass-catchers in the NFL, averaging a terrific 9.65 adjusted yards-per-target this year while grading out in the 81st percentile among WRs.
Cons
- Given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Cardinals to pass on 55.8% of their plays: the 8th-lowest rate among all teams this week.
- Accounting for their underlying tendencies and game dynamics, the Cardinals are forecasted by the projections to run only 63.3 total plays in this contest: the 9th-lowest number among all teams this week.
