Matt Harmon believes this is finally the Garrett Wilson season unfolding, stating "I know I could get hurt again with Garrett Wilson, but I think I'm ready to get hurt again this year" and "I don't think I'm going to get hurt again this year." Wilson is balling with strong target opportunity; the route chart shows a good mix of layups under 10 yards and deep out cuts over the middle. Geno Smith is getting those out on time. Wilson has the seventh highest overall usage for a wide receiver in the NFL right now, and they are using him like an elite receiver. With Adnan Mitchell out, the ball is very concentrated to a couple of people, and Geno is pushing the ball downfield. Harmon projects Wilson will finally clear 15 fantasy points per game this season.PositiveBreakoutSep 30, 2026
Matt Harmon highlights Garrett Wilson as potentially finally breaking through after five seasons in the league without a 15+ fantasy points per game season. Wilson is now averaging 19 points per game with Geno Smith at quarterback, who is playing at an elite level (75.5% completion percentage, no interceptions). Last week Wilson had 13 targets (36% target share) and combined with Kenyon Sadiq accounted for almost 60% of targets and 66% of Geno Smith's passing yards and two of three touchdowns. Harmon notes the Jets offense has lost Adnan Mitchell (hand injury), Breece Hall (out), and Mason Taylor (out), creating more opportunity. Harmon emphasizes the fantasy community hasn't caught up to how good the Jets passing attack looks for Wilson and suggests this could finally be the elite Garrett Wilson season fantasy players have wanted for years.PositiveBreakoutSep 30, 2026
Garrett Wilson is highlighted as a potential breakout candidate with the question 'is it finally happening?' Matt Harmon noted that Wilson, despite being drafted from a range where 'nobody wanted to draft from that range because it's a jet,' has actually been really good so far this season and is one of the guys going later that has really boosted expectations.PositiveBreakoutSep 28, 2026
Garrett Wilson recorded his first 100-yard receiving day since 2024 in the Lions-Jets game, exiting late with a neck snap injury. Matt Harmon characterized Wilson as 'a top seven-ish, top eight wide receiver right here' this season, noting that while he's not at the level of Jamar Chase or JSN, 'this feels like you've got a top seven-ish, top eight wide receiver right here in Garrett Wilson.' The performance and Matt Harmon sentiment suggest Wilson is finally emerging as a consistent elite fantasy asset.PositiveRoleSep 25, 2026

Wilson is on the field for 90% of dropbacks for the Jets, making him the primary target; he has plenty of explosiveness and is the clear focal point of the offense, though the team is also developing secondary options like Corey Davis Mitchell to avoid making Wilson too easy to defend.PositiveProjectionSep 17, 2026
Nate Tice suggests that Garrett Wilson is a relevant fantasy asset because the Jets' offense is functioning with more competence this season.PositiveMatchupSep 11, 2026

Matt Harmon is willing to draft Garrett Wilson again despite past frustrations, citing his high target share potential (previously 34% in the first six weeks of last season). Harmon believes Geno Smith is capable of getting Wilson the ball in Frank Reich's RPO-heavy offense.NegativeUsageAug 19, 2026
Garrett Wilson's usage metrics (target share, route participation) are elite, but his production has been disappointing due to poor quarterback play and offensive scheme issues. Harmon notes that Wilson's usage changed last year to include more snaps off the line of scrimmage, which helped him maintain a 34% target share. However, concerns persist regarding the Frank Reich offense and the lack of efficiency relative to his high volume.PositiveUsageAug 18, 2026
Garrett Wilson is expected to see significant volume early in the season due to Omar Cooper Jr. not yet emerging as a rookie. Harmon notes Wilson had a 34% target share in the first six weeks of last year and will continue to see heavy pre-snap movement and formation versatility. Harmon ranks him as WR21, slightly ahead of his ADP.PositiveUsageAug 18, 2026
Garrett Wilson is expected to see high volume early in the season, particularly as Omar Cooper Jr. has not yet emerged as a significant factor.
