Marvin Harrison has missed three of his last four games, but the Cardinals have hardly missed him. They’ve gotten better receiver play, in fact, without him. Give Michael Wilson a chance, it seems, and he can do it.
Wilson caught 15 passes for 185 yards against San Francisco, he caught 10 passes against Jacksonville and he went for 11 catches, 142 yards and 2 TDs against the Rams.
Only one other player in the league this year has three games with 10-plus catches and over 100 yards – Puka Nacua. The rest of the league combined has done it only eight times.

Arizona’s matchup for Week 15 looks pretty lousy – at Houston. But with how Wilson’s playing, he would be tough to leave out of a lineup if Harrison is again sitting.
He’s been awfully productive. In the last 10 years, only 31 other wide receivers have had three such games in a season. Only 12 have made it up to four such games. And all of these guys are notable, well-respected wide receivers.
Michael Wilson apparently a real thing.
