News: 4 days agoVirgil failed to reel in either of his targets during Sunday's 33-30 overtime victory against Dallas.

Spin: Virgil played a season-high 38 offensive snaps, but he went without a reception for the third straight week. The Cardinals placed Kendrick Bourne (lower leg) on injured reserve Tuesday after the wide receiver fractured his right tibia in Week 8, so more opportunities could come Virgil's way moving forward. Regardless of an increase in workload, the team's Week 9 matchup versus Seattle will be a challenging one for the 22-year-old.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Virgil was selected by the Cardinals in the fifth round of April's draft. Virgil is a tall, thin, perimeter, vertical receiver who ranked near the top of this WR rookie class in aDOT (14.7) and YPR (15.8) but near the basement in RAC (4.5), catch rate (54%) and YPRR (1.79) during his career at Miami Ohio and Texas Tech. A class-high 48% of his targets came on deep routes, though he played a more well-rounded role in 2025 -- his lone season with the Red Raiders. Virgil ran a 4.57 40-yard dash at 187 pounds at the combine, which works out to a poor speed score of 86. Virgil will battle Kendrick Bourne for No. 3 duties behind Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson. He's off the short-term fantasy radar.
