Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson had five catches for 78 yards in a team win last Sunday. The Green Bay Packers will need to account for Wilson on intermediate routes, and that’s not easy thing to do.
At 6-foot-2 inches, Wilson is a tall target for quarterback Kyler Murray to locate outside the hashes. Wilson brings energy and talent and has been even more vital with wide receiver Zay Jones injured.
Three primary targets have been in rotation for Murray; Marvin Harrison Jr., Wilson, and tight-end Trey McBride. Murray is distributing the ball effortlessly, and Wilson is thriving under offensive coordinator Drew Petzing.
Wilson can expect additional targets in week six because the Packers’ secondary will be focused on Harrison Jr. If Wilson plays well tomorrow, it will definitely increase the chances of a Cardinals’ win.
