Garrett Wilson

Garrett Wilson's injury-shortened 2025 masked what looked like a target monster season before he got hurt. The Jets star commanded an elite 30% target share early in the season despite subpar quarterback play, reinforcing his status as one of the league's top target earners. With Geno Smith now under center and improved offensive line play in New York, Wilson is set up for a bounce-back campaign. Even with added target competition in the form of two first-round rookies, Wilson projects as the clear centerpiece of the Jets passing attack and an underrated fantasy WR1 candidate in 2026.

Last year, before being lost to a knee injury (Weeks 1-6), Garrett Wilson was the WR10 in fantasy points per game. During that span, he commanded a 31.2% target share with 65.8 receiving yards per game, 1.92 yards per route run, a whopping 45.9% first-read share, and 0.087 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). With more weapons installed around him this offseason (Omar Cooper Jr. and Kenyon Sadiq), Wilson's target share and first-read share could dip some, but he'll still be the clear leader of the passing attack with (hopefully) improved quarterback play with Geno Smith under center. Wilson is a strong WR2 with WR1 upside if the Jets new look offense gels in 2026.
