New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught six of eight targets for 82 yards and a touchdown against the Dolphins on Monday night. Wilson has caught a touchdown in three of four games to begin the 2025 season, and he could have had two if he hadn't gotten called for a very questionable offensive pass interference call. The entire Jets' passing offense has been centered around Wilson, and he has been peppered with targets. His 38 targets through four games are the fifth most in the NFL. But the Jets continue to be very run-heavy with Justin Fields, which limits the opportunities and upside for Wilson in fantasy. He's so talented that he is still able to make it work. Wilson should be viewed as a WR1 for next week's matchup against Dallas.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson gets a smash matchup in Week 4 when he lines up with the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football. The 25-year-old has been New York's most productive player thus far, and it hasn't mattered whether it's been quarterback Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor peppering him with targets. Wilson's usage is phenomenal, as he's sporting a ludicrous 39% target share - second only in the league to Seattle's Jaxon Smith-Njigba (40.3%). That should bode well for him against a dreadful Miami pass defense that's allowed a bottom-half figure in passing yards allowed per game (225.3), and already afforded four touchdowns to the wide receiver position. Even in a Jets' offense that hasn't yet found its groove, Wilson remains a solid back-end WR1. He'll come in at RotoBaller's PPR WR12 ahead of his Monday night matchup.

Fantasy managers may have been worried that New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson would be quiet in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor leading the offense with Justin Fields out with a concussion. Wilson eased fantasy managers' minds by catching 10 of his 13 targets for 84 yards and his second touchdown of the year in a 29-27 loss at Raymond James Stadium. The 25-year-old led the Jets in all receiving categories in this one by a wide margin, with no other pass-catcher seeing more than six targets or catching more than four passes. Wilson's touchdown hookup with Taylor was an 11-yard reception in the fourth quarter. Even though the Jets are 0-3 early on, Wilson remains a must-start in fantasy lineups heading into a Week 4 matchup against the winless Miami Dolphins. Wilson has 21 catches for 229 yards and two scores through three weeks.

Wide receiver Garrett Wilson and the rest of the New York Jets' offense will look to get back on track in Week 3 when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road. New York's offensive attack had a rough outing in last weekend's 30-10 loss to the Bills. Quarterback Justin Fields (concussion) completed just 3-of-11 attempts for a total of 27 yards before exiting the contest with a concussion. With Fields unable to clear protocol ahead of Week 3, Tyrod Taylor will step in to operate the Jets' offense. Taylor appeared on only 18 snaps in Week 2, so not much can be drawn from his play. Still, he looked decent (7-of-11, 56 yards, one TD) and might be forced to sling it with Tampa Bay's defense ranking as a top-five unit against the rush through two weeks (76.5 YPG). Wilson is the no-brainer No. 1 option here and should again be fed a steady diet of looks. He ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR10 for his matchup with the Buccaneers.

After an encouraging Week 1 performance, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson and the remainder of the offense came crashing back to Earth in their 30-10 home loss to the Buffalo Bills. Justin Fields looked like a completely different player in Week 2, completing just 3-of-11 passes for 27 yards. In turn, the rest of New York's skill players struggled. If not for backup QB Tyrod Taylor somewhat salvaging Wilson's line (4/50), it'd have been an even worse outing. It's been a mixed bag for the Jets thus far. While Wilson's talent is of the upper echelon, consistent WR1 production will be challenging to come by in his current situation. Volume should keep him afloat to some degree for fantasy, but the Ohio State alum is more of a volatile, WR2/3 until the offense shows some stability. He'll get the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3.

Fantasy managers can expect New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson to garner another huge workload in Week 2's meeting with the visiting Buffalo Bills. The Ohio State product displayed excellent chemistry with his quarterback, Justin Fields, during their Week 1 loss to the Steelers. Wilson was the only Jets' pass-catcher to command more than four looks (nine) - pulling in a whopping 41% of Fields' targets. With fellow wideout Josh Reynolds (hamstring) deemed inactive, Fields could further lean on Wilson in a tough outing with the Bills. Despite the less-than-ideal matchup, he'll continue to be a target vacuum, which bodes well for his fantasy value. Perhaps more importantly, Fields looked comfortable in his Jets' debut and should be forced to put up points with Josh Allen on the other sideline. The fourth-year pro is RotoBaller's PPR WR13 in an outing with a 47.5-point over/under.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught seven of his nine targets for 95 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. His touchdown came on a big 33-yard strike from Justin Fields in their first game together. Wilson's big game should excite fantasy managers going forward. There was no question that Wilson is an impact receiver with big upside, but it was a little unclear what his role would look like in a Fields-led offense. Now, we have our answer, and it's exciting. Wilson remains a high-end WR2 with legitimate WR1 upside heading into next week's game against the Buffalo Bills.
Sep 7, 2025 8:35 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson will be put to the test in Week 1 when his team squares off against the Pittsburgh Steelers at home on Sunday. Wilson is the clear-cut No. 1 option in Gang Green's passing attack and should again benefit from enormous volume in his fourth professional season. However, he'll again have a new quarterback at the helm, this time in his ex-college teammate, Justin Fields. The former Buckeyes will hope that their collegiate chemistry spills over onto the NFL field, although that isn't a guarantee. Despite the duo's familiarity with each other, they're still essentially brand-new teammates in a new offensive system. If Fields can take a step forward in 2025, Wilson would project to have a tremendous season. As of now, he'll be a bit of a riskier option than he has been in years past. The 25-year-old is RotoBaller's PPR WR30 ahead of Sunday's slate of action.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson could not bring in any of his three targets in Saturday's 31-12 loss to the New York Giants. Quarterback Justin Fields attempted just five passes across the Jets' two series, with three of them going the 25-year-old's way. However, Wilson was arguably interfered with on two of his three opportunities, so the former Ohio State teammates aren't totally to blame for the seeming lack of chemistry. Either way, it appears that the wideout will be a target-hog again in his fourth professional campaign. A run-heavy New York offense could cause touchdown opportunities to be sparse. Wilson should be productive anyway, given the lack of receiving options around him. Look for him and his new QB to notch their first connection in the Jets' preseason finale, a home matchup with the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
Aug 17, 2025 2:56 AM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson failed to haul in his lone target in Saturday's 30-10 win against the hosting Green Bay Packers. Wilson and the Jets' first-string offense got just one series together in this one, and the fourth-year pro couldn't connect with his quarterback the only time Justin Fields went his way. In Wilson's defense, the pass was a bit out of reach as he tried to snag it, falling out of bounds. There isn't much to go on here, but it's nice to see that Fields targeted his former Ohio State teammate despite attempting just four passes. A 25% target share is likely what the wideout will need to elevate him to the next level in 2025. That is, unless his new QB has taken a step forward as a passer. Either way, he should get that volume in spades as New York's unquestioned WR1. Hopefully, the two will get a bit more playing time together next Saturday when they line up against the New York Giants.

According to ESPN's Rich Cimini, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson stood out even more in Friday's practice. "[The] passing attack is all Garrett Wilson," wrote Cimini. "No one else stepping up." The wideout, who recently agreed to a lucrative four-year, $130 million extension, surpassed the 1,000-yard receiving mark in each of his first three seasons. He's also coming off his best year, ending the 2024 campaign with 101 receptions and seven touchdowns. The latest update from Cimini shouldn't be a surprise. However, with more positive reports throughout training camp and heading into Week 1, Wilson could find himself climbing preseason fantasy rankings. With that in mind, the 25-year-old may have a legitimate chance of finishing in the top-10 in terms of fantasy production at the wide receiver spot, especially with the Jets lacking depth at the position.
Jul 25, 2025 11:16 PM EST
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the New York Jets and wide receiver Garrett Wilson reached an agreement on a four-year, $130 million contract, including $90 million guaranteed. Per Schefter, this marks the first time in NFL history that a wide receiver will average over $31 million per year after only three seasons in the league. Despite sharing the field with former superstar teammate Davante Adams in 2024 and dealing with less-than-ideal quarterback play in the two years prior, Wilson has eclipsed 1,000 yards receiving and 80 receptions in each of his first three campaigns. He'll head into 2025 as the team's undisputed No. 1 pass-catching option, but will again face the difficulty of developing rapport with a new quarterback in Justin Fields. While the quality of his targets is currently unknown, the Ohio State alum's talent and usage should provide WR1 upside.
Jul 14, 2025 4:56 PM EST
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the New York Jets have made a contract offer to wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Fowler added that both sides "have exchanged some numbers," so it's unknown how close the wideout actually is to agreeing to a new deal. The 24-year-old is coming off the best season of his career, catching 101 passes for 1,104 yards and seven touchdowns. It's a new era in New York, with the team hiring former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn to serve as the head coach. The team also parted ways with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, replacing him with Justin Fields. It's safe to say the Jets will need Wilson happy and motivated if the club hopes to return to the playoff conversation. While there are some questions about Wilson's fantasy outlook with a new signal-caller and head coach, he should continue to be a consistent performer for fantasy managers.
Jun 15, 2025 8:27 PM EST
The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt writes that New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson's stock is up this offseason. Wilson was the best player on the field for all of the spring practices open to the media while making highlight-reel catches and rarely dropping any of quarterback Justin Fields' passes. The new coaching staff is highlighting Wilson's ability to improvise on routes while also making sure Wilson is where Fields expects him to be on any given play. Outside of running back Breece Hall, the team doesn't have a clear No. 2 pass-catcher, which leads Rosenblatt to speculate that Wilson could set a Jets record for targets and catches in 2025. Despite seeking a new contract, the 24-year-old was present for OTAs and minicamp. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 16 fantasy wideout, but if Fields makes strides as a passer, Wilson has clear WR1 upside this year.
Jun 14, 2025 1:16 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson and cornerback Sauce Gardner, who are both seeking contract extensions this offseason, are participating in the team's mandatory minicamp this week, according to Newsday's Al Iannazzone. Wilson is entering yet another season with a new quarterback, this time his old college teammate Justin Fields. The 24-year-old former 10th overall pick in 2022 out of Ohio State has put up three straight 1,000-yard seasons to begin his NFL career and had a career-best 101 catches and seven touchdowns in 17 starts in 2024. Wilson will be the team's unquestioned WR1 this year now that Davante Adams is gone, but his fantasy upside will depend on the efficiency of New York's offense and Fields. The Jets are expected to lean heavily on their ground game, making Wilson more of a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 in fantasy.
Jun 11, 2025 12:04 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson is expected to see a larger workload next season. Head coach Aaron Glenn recently said during a press conference that they want to get Wilson the ball as much as possible. He didn't really add on much to that statement, but it shouldn't be surprising that the Jets want to get their best wideout the ball as often as possible. Despite some lackluster play at quarterback last season, Wilson finished with 101 receptions, 1,104 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns in 17 games. The Jets are hopeful that Justin Fields can give them a better performance under center this upcoming season. Wilson might creep his way into the WR1 discussion, but for now is a safe WR2 in fantasy formats.
May 22, 2025 8:35 AM EST
Speaking on the potential for a new contract, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson said, "I'm hopeful to be a Jet for life," according to team reporter Rich Cimini. The 2022 first-round pick out of Ohio State is eligible for a contract extension following his third NFL campaign. With lackluster quarterback play between Zach Wilson, Mike White, Joe Flacco, Aaron Rodgers, Trevor Siemian, and Tim Boyle, Wilson has racked up 279 receptions (469 targets) for 3,249 yards and 14 touchdowns in 51 career games. He ranks 10th among all players in receiving yards since entering the league, so the organization would surely like to keep him long term. Entering 2025, Wilson will catch passes from Justin Fields, who was his college quarterback in 2019 and 2020. While Fields has been a questionable passer throughout his NFL career, Wilson should be the dominant target-hog in the New York offense. He remains a WR2 with WR1 upside for fantasy football.
May 21, 2025 2:59 PM EST
The New York Jets are picking up the fifth-year option on wide receiver Garrett Wilson, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It will cost the Jets $16.8 million for the 2026 season. The 24-year-old former first-rounder (10th overall) out of Ohio State could work out a long-term contract extension this offseason that would make his fifth-year option basically a mute point, though. Despite dealing with inconsistent quarterback play in his three years in the NFL, Wilson has been productive with three straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons and 14 touchdowns on 279 catches (469 targets) in 51 games played (46 starts). Even though there are questions about how much the Jets will throw the ball with dual-threat QB Justin Fields now in town, Wilson has excellent chemistry with Fields from their days at Ohio State and should be heavily targeted as the unquestioned WR1 in 2025.
Apr 21, 2025 6:19 PM EST
New York Jets new head coach Aaron Glenn called wide receiver Garrett Wilson a "dynamic player" and said the team is going to look to get him the ball "as much as possible." That was expected to be the case as soon as the Jets decided to move on from quarterback Aaron Rodgers and receiver Davante Adams. Wilson was still a top-12 fantasy receiver in half-PPR scoring last year despite Adams taking away valuable targets, but the 24-year-old's upside will be even higher as the unquestioned WR1 for new Jets quarterback Justin Fields, especially if they are force-feeding him targets. Fields has plenty left to prove as a passer, but it will be a bonus that Wilson and Fields already have plenty of chemistry from their days playing together in college at Ohio State. The volume should be there, but efficiency will be a question mark for Wilson, who should be considered a legitimate WR1 in fantasy.
Apr 1, 2025 11:06 PM EST
Per SNY's Connor Hughes, the New York Jets will hold off on extension talks with wide receiver Garrett Wilson and defensive back Sauce Gardner until after the 2025 NFL Draft. Both players are entering the fourth and final year of their contracts, though the team can exercise a fifth-year option on each. Wilson has been excellent, piling up over 1,000 yards in his first three seasons and eclipsing the 100-catch mark (101) in 2024. Gardner has been stellar, too. Despite a down year that ended on IR with a hamstring injury, he's been a pillar on the Jets' back end since he hit the field. It makes sense that, eventually, New York will get a deal done with both athletes. The trick will be not breaking the bank in doing so. Both players will make an impact on the field again in 2025.
