PositiveMatchupOct 31, 2026
Wilson is a popular play this week because of the matchup and a bounce-back opportunity after expressing frustration last week. However, his production has dropped sharply since Omar Cooper Jr. returned, suggesting target share may be diluted despite the favorable Vegas matchup.PositiveProjectionOct 31, 2026
Wilson is the WR22 in fantasy points per game with a 25.1% target share, 2.09 YPRR, three red zone targets, five deep targets, and a 30.6% first-read share. Despite having fewer than nine PPR points in three of his last four games, the source projects Wilson could get the squeaky wheel treatment in Week 8 against the Raiders. Wilson's quiet Week 6 performance is explained by facing Christian Gonzalez on 93.9% of his routes; the Raiders don't have a corner in that talent area code. The Raiders have allowed the fifth-most yards per target and fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers over their last five games.PositiveProjectionOct 30, 2026
Received an A- start/sit grade for Week 8 against Las Vegas, indicating strong recommendation for fantasy lineups.NegativeUsageOct 29, 2026
Wilson had 21 catches for 243 yards and two touchdowns over his first three games but has declined to 45 or fewer receiving yards in three of his last four games, with six catches for 70 yards and no touchdowns over the last two weeks. He has expressed frustration about the Jets' losses (1-5 in last six games) but clarified he does not want to be traded. The source anticipates a potential 'squeaky-wheel' game against the Raiders, though Wilson faces target competition from rookie Omar Cooper Jr., WR Adonai Mitchell (back from finger injury), and tight ends Kenyon Sadiq and Mason Taylor. Jets QB Geno Smith may not be able to support multiple high-level fantasy pass catchers.PositiveMatchupOct 29, 2026
Garrett Wilson is WR22 in fantasy points per game but has had fewer than nine PPR points in three of his last four games; however, he could get the squeaky wheel treatment this week. Wilson maintains a 25.1% target share with 2.09 YPRR, three red zone targets, five deep targets, and a 30.6% first-read share. His quiet Week 6 performance was due to facing Christian Gonzalez on 93.9% of his routes, but the Raiders lack a corner of that caliber. The Raiders have allowed the fifth-most yards per target and fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers over their last five games.PositiveValueOct 29, 2026
Garrett Wilson is a buy-low candidate despite recent underperformance; Omar Cooper has been a revelation in recent weeks at Wilson's expense, and Mason Taylor also went off last week with 2 additional touchdowns. Wilson was shadowed by Patriots All-Pro corner Christian Gonzalez in Week 6 and ran decoy routes in Week 7, but the source expects Wilson to get back into the fold in 2 of the next 3 matchups against Vegas (W8) and Buffalo (W10). Wilson is too good of a route runner and fantasy producer to be kept down for long, and as long as the Jets continue to need to score points, Wilson should remain their number one option. The source would gladly send upside backs like Jonah Coleman and Jordan Mason to acquire his services.NegativeValueOct 29, 2026
Avery Thrasher suggests Garrett Wilson as a target acquisition in a trade for Jonathan Taylor, positioning him as a valuable return in a sell-high deal for an RB-starved team.PositiveValueOct 28, 2026
Jeremy Shulman is buying low on Garrett Wilson despite recent underperformance caused by Omar Cooper's emergence and Mason Taylor's touchdowns; Wilson was shadowed by Christian Gonzalez in Week 6 and ran decoy routes in Week 7. Shulman expects Wilson to return to form in 2 of the next 3 matchups (Vegas W8, Buffalo W10), citing his elite route-running ability and the Jets' need to score points. He would send upside backs like Jonah Coleman and Jordan Mason to acquire Wilson.NegativeMatchupOct 28, 2026
Garrett Wilson ran 22 routes out wide and just five routes from the slot against Miami last week, finishing with only two catches for 26 yards. His poor performance out wide is relevant context for A.J. Brown, who lines up out wide on 83.3% of his routes.NegativeRoleOct 28, 2026
Wilson remains the top option in the Jets' passing attack, though the source notes that Omar Cooper Jr. has established himself as a legitimate playmaker alongside him, indicating Wilson's role is not expanding but rather being shared with the emerging rookie.NegativeRoleOct 28, 2026
Wilson remains the Jets' No. 1 receiver and is not expected to be overtaken by Omar Cooper Jr., though Cooper has established himself as a credible No. 2 option.PositiveUsageOct 28, 2026
Garrett Wilson finished Sunday with just two receptions for 26 yards on three targets while teammate Omar Cooper Jr. recorded 115 yards and a touchdown. Cooper has posted consecutive 100-yard performances while Wilson has failed to reach 45 yards in those same games. Over his last four games, Wilson has drawn fewer than seven targets and scored fewer than 8.5 points three times. With Geno Smith throwing more than 30 passes in just two games this season, Cooper's production threatens Wilson's target share and weekly ceiling, pushing Wilson into mid/low-end WR2 territory.PositiveProjectionOct 27, 2026
Wilson caught just 2 of 3 official targets for 26 yards (12.5% target share, down from 18.8%) on 50 of 59 snaps (85%, down from 98%), marking a third straight lower share with no first-half official target; however, Aaron Glenn took it personally when asked about Wilson's lack of volume and spoke about making Wilson's targets a top priority in both his post-game and Monday press conferences, signaling a bounce-back is imminent.PositiveUsageOct 27, 2026
Wilson was part of the Jets' target tree in Week 7 with 12.5% target share (tied with Adonai Mitchell), following Braelon Allen at 21.9% and Mason Taylor at 18.8%. The source indicates to 'Buy Garrett Wilson' in the Jets section.PositiveValueOct 27, 2026
Wilson is a buy candidate ahead of the NFL trade deadline despite mixed production; he owns a 25.9% target share and is averaging 14.2 fantasy points per game (WR21 in PPR), but his season stats of 37 catches for 444 yards and three touchdowns place him at WR14 overall. The source suggests his stock could rise dramatically soon due to potential trade market activity, making him worth acquiring despite recent volatility including a 4.6-point game against Miami.NegativeValueOct 27, 2026
Trade value of 29.9 in Week 8, down -1.1 from prior week; slight decline in trade market value with 13 games remaining.NegativeRoleOct 27, 2026

Production came at the expense of wide receiver Garrett Wilson, who has never been shy about vocalizing his displeasure when he doesn't see enough looks; as Jets losses pile up, expect the team to begin selling off assets around the trade deadline.PositiveUsageOct 26, 2026
Garrett Wilson finished Sunday with just two receptions for 26 yards on three targets, while Omar Cooper Jr. recorded 115 yards and a touchdown. Cooper has posted consecutive 100-yard performances while Wilson has failed to reach 45 yards in those same games. In his last four games, Wilson has drawn fewer than seven targets and scored fewer than 8.5 points three times.

Wilson remains the Jets' No. 1 receiver early in the season. The source notes that while Cooper Jr. has emerged as a strong secondary option, Wilson's status as the team's target leader should not be expected to change, indicating his role remains secure despite Cooper's strong recent performance.PositiveMatchupOct 24, 2026
Dealt with Christian Gonzalez on 93.9% of his routes last week, which limited his production and pushed target volume toward teammates; Gonzalez coverage likely to continue impacting Wilson's ceiling this week.NegativeProjectionOct 24, 2026

Listed as a GPP-only play for the NYJ vs. MIA matchup in Week 7 DFS slate, indicating recommended usage in tournament/GPP formats.PositiveMatchupOct 22, 2026
Wilson remains the focal point of the Jets' passing attack, running routes on 91.2% of dropbacks and drawing 25.8% of targets, producing 0.50 fantasy points per route run. However, this week he faces JuJu Brents (CB, MIA), who has allowed just 0.16 fantasy points per route run this season and is targeted on only 12.1% of routes run against him, highlighting how difficult opposing quarterbacks have found it to attack his coverage. While Wilson's target volume makes him hard to bench, this matchup could limit his ceiling this week.PositiveProjectionOct 22, 2026

Garrett Wilson is recommended as a trade target to acquire when selling Ashton Jeanty.PositiveValueOct 21, 2026
Jay Henry Ocho identifies Garrett Wilson as a buy-low after four catches for 44 yards against New England, noting he still played 98% of snaps and Christian Gonzalez's coverage pushed targets elsewhere. Ocho has Wilson ranked WR11 rest of season versus FantasyPros' WR16 and expects his target share to rebound; he'd offer Tee Higgins straight up, ranking her WR23 on his board. Ryan Linkletter adds that through six games Wilson has commanded a 28.6% target share and approximately 37% of the Jets' air yards, turning 48 targets into 35 receptions, 418 yards, and three touchdowns; after two of his last three games going below 10 points, Linkletter is taking advantage of the disappointing performances to acquire a receiver who remains the clear focal point of the passing offense. Linkletter would move George Pickens or Tee Higgins to get Wilson, especially with upcoming matchups against Miami and Las Vegas.PositiveUsageOct 20, 2026
Wilson's target share dropped significantly to 18.8% (from 34.4%) with only 4 of 6 catches for 44 yards despite maintaining near-full snap participation (61 of 62, 98%, from 93% in Week 5). The stark gap in opportunities is attributable to coverage by Christian Gonzalez, who matched up against Wilson on 17 routes in Week 6 (12 in man coverage) and allowed just two receptions for 20 yards on two targets—the fewest targets, receptions, and yards Gonzalez has allowed to Wilson in any game where they matched up more than five times. The source notes this coverage-driven opportunity gap likely won't sustain every week.NegativeValueOct 20, 2026
Trade value declined slightly 0.5 points to 31.0 in Week 7, ranked 16th among wide receivers with 13 games played; faces MIA, LV, KC.NegativeRoleOct 19, 2026

Wilson receives an A start/sit grade for Week 6 against New England, indicating strong fantasy upside for the matchup.NegativeMatchupOct 15, 2026
Garrett Wilson has been excellent this season with Geno Smith under center, averaging 14.2 fantasy points per game in half-PPR scoring, but faces a challenging Week 6 matchup in Foxborough against the Patriots. Pro Bowl cornerback Christian Gonzalez is returning after a two-game absence, and New England typically attempts to neutralize the opposing offense's best weapon. Gonzalez may shadow Wilson, potentially resulting in single-digit fantasy production despite his strong season performance.PositiveProjectionOct 15, 2026

Garrett Wilson is an appealing cash-game option thanks to his heavy target volume in the Jets' offense. With Breece Hall out for another game, New York could be forced to lean even more heavily on the passing game, giving Wilson plenty of opportunities to rack up receptions. The matchup against the Browns is intriguing; Cleveland plays a lot of man coverage, which sets up well for Wilson, who has consistently excelled against it.NegativeProjectionOct 8, 2026

Garrett Wilson is listed as a must-start player this week, indicating he is a no-brainer start for most fantasy teams.PositiveMatchupOct 8, 2026
Wilson is a safe start in Week 5 vs. Cleveland despite the Jets-Browns matchup not screaming fantasy value on the surface. The Browns rank 14th in EPA allowed against the pass but have given up the eighth-most fantasy points to both quarterbacks and tight ends and the ninth-most to wideouts. The Browns play man coverage at by far the highest rate in the league at a staggering 51%, with no other team above 37%. Among wide receivers who have run 50+ routes this season, Wilson ranks 10th in targets per route run versus man coverage (0.38), eighth in yards per route run (3.95), and second in fantasy points per route run.NegativeValueOct 7, 2026
Wilson is mentioned as a top-15 receiver to target in exchange for Quinshon Judkins, suggesting he is a preferred return in that trade.PositiveMatchupOct 7, 2026
Garrett Wilson gets an opportunity to attack a defense with one of the league's highest man-coverage rates. Wilson has cooked opposing defensive backs and is separating at a high rate, averaging 3.95 yards per route run and ranking 20th among qualifying receivers in separation with a 35% win rate against man coverage. Cleveland uses man coverage 51.9% of the time, which plays into Wilson's strengths. Start him as a low-end WR1.PositiveUsageOct 6, 2026
Wilson's target share fell from 34.2% adjusted in Week 3 to 26.7% in Week 4 (3 of 4 targets for 27 yards, no red-zone targets); while he remained tied for the team lead in target share, the 4 targets on a 15-attempt offense capped production—nobody can produce for fantasy in an offense that attempts only 15 passes.PositiveUsageOct 6, 2026
Wilson fell from 13 targets/34.2% target share in Week 3 to 4 targets/26.7% this week. He caught 3 of 4 targets for 27 yards. New York's offense produced just 157 net yards, 7 first downs, and 12 points on 32 plays (0-for-7 on third down, 3 sacks, 17:15 possession), with the passing game collapsing from 37 attempts and 321 yards in Week 3 to 15 attempts and 119 yards. The target pie shrank with the volume as the Bears completely controlled time of possession; on 15 attempts, each target is 6.7 points of share. Wilson's first half was 2 targets/2 catches/13 yards.NegativeValueOct 6, 2026
Trade value at 29.5 with a +0.3 point weekly gain, showing minimal positive market movement.NegativeUsageOct 5, 2026
Wilson was targeted just four times in New York's 23-12 loss to Chicago, finishing with a 3/27 line. The Jets' offense was a non-factor due to Chicago's dominance of time of possession (over 42 minutes for Chicago, barely 17 for New York), with Geno Smith completing only eight passes all afternoon. Wilson will look for a bounce-back effort against Cleveland in Week 5.PositiveMatchupOct 2, 2026
Garrett Wilson was part of a Geno Smith stack with Kenyon Sadiq that was 100% money last week. The Bears are a pass-friendly matchup despite Jalen Hurts' poor performance against them not reflecting the defense's true nature; they gave up over 350 yards to Bryce Young in Week 1. The matchup isn't as juicy as Detroit, but the Smith-Wilson double-stack still has legs and won't have much rostership.PositiveValueOct 2, 2026

Wilson is a Week 4 landmine despite strong recent form and increased opportunity with Breece Hall injured. He has averaged 9 targets and 19.1 PPR points per game and posted 26.7 points in Week 3 (10 receptions on 13 targets for 107 yards and a TD) against Detroit's weak defense. However, Chicago's defense is far more challenging: they've surrendered only 26.2 fantasy points per game to wide receivers (sixth-fewest in the NFL) and haven't allowed a receiving TD by a WR since Week 1. More critically, the Bears have shut down opposing No. 1 wide receivers, holding Tetairoa McMillan, Justin Jefferson, and DeVonta Smith to 4.7 receptions on 7.3 targets for 65 yards, zero TDs, and 10.5 fantasy points per game. Wilson could post his first single-digit fantasy performance of the year.PositiveProjectionSep 30, 2026

Garrett Wilson caught 10 of a team-high 13 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown (35% target share), establishing himself as the Jets' primary receiver. He had a concussion scare late in the game but was cleared.NegativeUsageSep 29, 2026
Garrett Wilson had his best game in Week 3 against Detroit with 10 catches for 107 yards and a TD, but Adonai Mitchell missed that game with a finger injury. Mitchell actually had a larger target share than Wilson through the first two weeks, which could cap Wilson's ceiling when Mitchell returns. Additionally, if Breece Hall misses significant time with a quad injury, there are questions about the offense as a whole. Despite these concerns, Wilson is a top-tier talent and warrants a hold.NegativeValueSep 29, 2026

Wilson went nuclear against Detroit, catching 10 of 13 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown as the alpha option for Geno Smith; the source highlights his acrobatic catch ability and sideline footwork. Though he was evaluated for a concussion late in the game, Wilson was cleared to return. Against Chicago in Week 4, who has surrendered the seventh-most passing yards, Wilson should be a locked-in WR1.PositiveProjectionSep 28, 2026
Garrett Wilson was one of three touchdown recipients from Geno Smith in Week 3, as the Jets nearly pulled off a stunning upset against Detroit on the road in a 31-24 loss. The source's broader context suggests Wilson remains a key target for Smith's ultra-effective passing game, with better results in store for Gang Green against Chicago's secondary, which has bled points in droves.PositiveInjurySep 28, 2026

Garrett Wilson is the implied underperformer in a bold prediction where Adonai Mitchell is expected to outscore him in Week 3.PositiveProjectionSep 26, 2026
Garrett Wilson's games thus far have been floor games due to game script and weather, but Week 3 offers the perfect matchup for high pass volume against a vulnerable Detroit secondary that has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing receivers (a stat that undersells Detroit's struggles because DJ Moore exited early in Week 2). Wilson is a clear stack option with Geno Smith.PositiveMatchupSep 25, 2026
Received an A start/sit grade for Week 3 matchup against Detroit, indicating solid fantasy upside in this specific week.NegativeProjectionSep 25, 2026
Wilson is ranked WR9 in half-PPR expert consensus rankings and has rock-solid efficiency marks: 21.5% target share, 0.24 targets per route run (TPRR), 33.3% first-read rate, and 37.5% air yard share this season. The source's bold prediction is that Adonai Mitchell will outscore Wilson this week despite Wilson's higher ranking. Both face a mouthwatering matchup against Detroit, which has allowed the fourth-most half-PPR points per game to wideouts (35.5). The source expects both to pop this week but predicts Mitchell's massive air yards share (59.4%) will result in more explosive receptions against Detroit's leaky secondary.NegativeValueSep 25, 2026

Wilson's presence on the Jets roster limits the sustainability of Adonai Mitchell's Week 2 air yards volume (69.8% team share).

Garrett Wilson faces a Detroit Lions defense that ranks 24th in pass defense EPA, has given up the fourth-most wide receiver fantasy points through two games, and has a thin, already-injured secondary that has now lost Avontae Maddox to injured reserve. The Lions have allowed a league-high 5.0 red zone visits per game and the second-most receiving yards per game. Wilson has averaged 7.0 targets per game and 2.34 yards per route run, positioning this as the eruption spot his fantasy managers have dreamed of.PositiveValueSep 22, 2026
Garrett Wilson caught 5 of 7 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown (his second score in as many weeks) in Week 2, even as his target share fell from a team-leading 34.6% adjusted in Week 1 to 16.7% this week purely because Mitchell's volume grew around him.
