Start Michael Wilson: 87 percent of the snaps and 25 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jeremiyah Love's 37 percent of the snaps and 49 percent of the carries. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap
- Board size306 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Michael Wilson, and the board ranks him 35th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Jeremiyah Love, and the board ranks him 128th overall on the rest of his evidence.
By format he goes standard: ADP 10; 2QB: ADP 29.
The market-based projections
Michael Wilson's market-based projection is 11.2 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 7 market sources. That is the 50th highest figure of the 219 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Jeremiyah Love is 2.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 2 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Jeremiyah Love's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
This season through Week 8
Through Week 8, Michael Wilson has been on the field for 89 percent of ARI snaps, drawn 26 percent of the targets and had 16 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 22 of the offence's 88 third down targets, had 9 of its 29 chances inside the five and seen 22 of its 57 two minute targets.
His 81 targets have averaged 11.4 air yards.
In Week 6 against LAR he caught 4 of 7 targets for 32 yards and did not score.
In Week 7 against DEN he carried 2 times for 11 yards, caught 4 of 8 targets for 55 yards and did not score.
In Week 8 against DAL he carried 1 time for 17 yards, caught 8 of 15 targets for 111 yards and scored 1 touchdown.
Through Week 8, Jeremiyah Love has been on the field for 44 percent of ARI snaps, taken 52 percent of the carries, drawn 6 percent of the targets and had 23 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 2 of the offence's 64 third down targets, had 3 of its 22 chances inside the five and seen 3 of its 49 two minute targets.
His 14 targets have averaged 0.6 air yards.
In Week 4 against NYG he carried 14 times for 63 yards, caught 1 of 1 target for -8 yards and did not score.
In Week 5 against DET he carried 12 times for 22 yards, caught 0 of 1 target for 0 yards and did not score.
In Week 8 against DAL he carried 9 times for 23 yards and did not score.
Their 2025 seasons
In 2025 Michael Wilson played 17 games and scored 220.6 PPR points, 13.0 a game, finishing WR10.
He caught 78 of 126 targets for 1006 yards and 7 touchdowns, with 15 red zone targets.
That came to 7.4 targets a game, a 62 percent catch rate and 12.9 yards a catch.
He was on the field for 81 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Jeremiyah Love is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
Side by side
Michael Wilson is a wide receiver and Jeremiyah Love a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
Both are off in Week 14, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.
Michael Wilson is listed as questionable on the injury report.
Jeremiyah Love is listed as ir on the injury report.
What would change the answer
Jeremiyah Love has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
