Mike LaFleur outlines receiver roles for Cardinals in 2026

Arizona Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur has detailed the roles of Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson in his offense for the upcoming season. LaFleur, who previously served as offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams, aims to replicate their successful offensive scheme in Arizona. He assigned Harrison to the 'X' receiver position, typically held by Davante Adams, while Wilson will take the 'Z' receiver role, akin to Puka Nacua. Both players are expected to adapt to the scheme, which emphasizes receiver mobility and versatility. LaFleur faces the challenge of implementing this system without a quarterback on par with Matthew Stafford, possibly relying on veteran Jacoby Brissett or rookie Carson Beck.
