The Arizona Cardinals have two young, talented wide receivers on their roster.

Michael Wilson had a nice third season, finishing 78 receptions for 1006 yards and seven touchdowns. Then there is a Marvin Harrison Jr. who had 41 receptions for 608 yards and four touchdowns in only 12 games. His 17 game splits are 60/875/7 which is really solid, but not quite what everyone had hoped for coming out of Ohio State.

Now, with Mike LaFleur in charge, he has talked about the way that he plans to deploy the two young wideouts.

While LaFleur did not call plays, he was around enough with Sean McVay to understand how to set things up and prepare for games. In game, that is still to be determined, but the profile for success is there.

The offense will have options, the question becomes will it be able to continually produce with those options?
