Michael Wilson vs Ryan Flournoy: The Full Breakdown
Deciding between Michael Wilson and Ryan Flournoy is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Arizona Cardinals wide receiver put up 10.7 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Ryan Flournoy of the Dallas Cowboys averaged 7.2 in 13. A 3.5-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 3.5 points favors Michael Wilson, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.
Target volume is the story here. Michael Wilson saw 126 targets in 2025, while Ryan Flournoy drew 56. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Michael Wilson, even in weeks where Ryan Flournoy posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Both share a Week 14 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking wide receivers this deep on your bench, plan your replacement wide receiver early.
