Jacoby Brissett and Michael Wilson have done it again despite loss

Jacoby Brissett and Michael Wilson delivered another spectacular performance for the Arizona Cardinals, even as the team fell short in a thrilling overtime contest against the Jaguars. Brissett showed his willingness to take charge of the offense, throwing the ball 49 times, and 15 of those throws went Wilson’s way. This is an impressive volume that signals a real connection between the two. Wilson responded with 10 catches for 118 yards, continuing to emerge as a reliable force in the passing game.​

This marks two consecutive weeks where the Cardinals have relied heavily on the passing attack and featured the Brissett-to-Wilson duo as the central part of their offensive success. In last week's game against the 49ers, Brissett completed an NFL-record 47 passes on 57 attempts, and Wilson had a career-best day, hauling in 15 receptions out of 18 targets for 185 yards.

The consistency is not only drawing the attention of Arizona fans but also giving fantasy football managers every reason to start both players as the season hits its most crucial stretch. Wilson has now seen 33 targets across two games, topping 100 receiving yards each time and quickly proving that this recent surge is more than a fluke.​

Brissett’s willingness to stand in the pocket and spread the ball, combined with Wilson’s precise route-running and strong hands, has created matchup headaches for defenses. The high passing volume, smart decision-making by Brissett, and Wilson’s ability to separate and excel after the catch are fueling a level of confidence among coaches, fans, and fantasy managers alike. Notably, even with tough coverage, Wilson continues to command double-digit targets, indicating the staff trusts him as a game-changer.​

For fantasy football, the numbers speak loudly. Wilson’s back-to-back weeks as the focal point of the Cardinals' air attack and Brissett’s growing comfort under center indicate that both players are set up for continued success. As Arizona closes in on the final games of the year, expectations remain high, and the Brissett-Wilson connection is set to play a huge part in whatever victories remain for the Cardinals. Fantasy managers can plan on both Brissett and Wilson remaining strong starts, regardless of opponent, as opportunity and production are now proven every week.
