Wilson's target rate got back over 20% in Week 8 after a sideline exchange and spending time with QB Geno Smith following the game.

Highly-paid veteran receiver has been receiving limited target volume despite his contract status, with the source noting 'all the talk about the lack of targets for highly-paid veteran receiver Garrett Wilson.' Cooper Jr.'s emergence and production has overshadowed Wilson's involvement, and the source suggests that if Wilson doesn't have significant involvement against the Raiders, trade calls from other teams will intensify.

Frank Reich and Aaron Glenn have talked about getting Garrett Wilson more targets, but Wilson didn't get a single first-half target last week. The source wants to see them actually get him the ball rather than just hear about intentions. He's still WR19 and a start.

Garrett Wilson is WR22 in fantasy points per game but has had fewer than nine PPR points in three of his last four games. The source suggests 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 30.6% first-read share. His quiet Week 6 was due to facing Christian Gonzalez on 93.9% of routes; the Raiders lack a corner of that caliber. Against the Raiders' last five games, they have allowed the fifth-most yards per target and fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers.

Jonathan Taylor reports that despite trade rumors, Garrett Wilson will not be traded based on recent reporting from Sheffy. Taylor notes the Jets could be contenders in 2027 and it doesn't make sense for them to move off Wilson or Breece Hall.
