Garrett Wilson has been pretty darn good this year with four good games and four stinkers. One poor performance came against Christian Gonzalez (New England), where Gonzalez has won every matchup against Wilson. Despite this weakness, Wilson remains very good overall. The source would not trade Wilson and Omarion Hampton for AJ Brown, valuing Wilson's consistency and upside over the uncertainty of Brown's fit with Drake Maye.NegativeMatchupOct 19, 2026
Wilson had a down week in Week 6 against New England, partly due to Christian Gonzalez's elite coverage.

Garrett Wilson ended up off a week, and the Jets' offensive strategy appears designed to slow down the game and reduce total plays.

The speaker notes this is an old-school strategy that doesn't align with modern analytics and success patterns.PositiveRoleOct 1, 2026

Available at ADP 410 on Sleeper and 501 on Yahoo; the source is very bullish and says he's well better than where he's being drafted, but notes that at the 2–3 turn (where he's being taken in some drafts), he's a smidge too high because you'd be passing on George Pickens (top-12 WR last year on better offense) or DeVante Smith (on much better offense); still a good player but odds favor those alternatives at that draft position.PositiveUsageSep 1, 2026
Garrett Wilson is highlighted as a superior target earner compared to the options available in Cleveland last year, which limits the immediate fantasy path for rookie tight ends like Kenyon Sadiq on the Jets.PositiveValueAug 26, 2026
Garrett Wilson is a massive value being drafted around WR20 despite elite underlying metrics. He is one of five players to start a career with three consecutive 80-catch, 1000-yard seasons despite poor quarterback play. He maintains a 28% career target share, and the source notes that players with a 27%+ target share are typically drafted in the top 12.

Garrett Wilson is cited as a tier-comparable to Drake London; the source states 'I think he's in that tier of Garrett Wilson' and notes that Wilson, despite playing with a suboptimal quarterback, was also 'kind of, as far as draft cost, immune' to quarterback concerns, similar to London's positioning.PositiveRoleMay 19, 2026
