Ron Stewart ranked Garrett Wilson as one of his two highest-ranked players alongside Zay Flowers, projecting Wilson better than Jaylen Waddle.

Ron Stewart is six spots higher than consensus on Garrett Wilson, viewing him as an elite talent who earns targets. Despite the Jets' poor passing offense last year (under 3,000 yards), Wilson averaged 19 PPG as WR5 through five games with Justin Fields; even with a normal offense, Wilson offers significant discount value.PositiveProjectionAug 22, 2026

Ron Stewart has reversed his prior stance on Garrett Wilson. Previously he advised against drafting Wilson ('I was saying do not draft Breece. Do not draft Garrett Wilson'), but this year he's changed conviction, stating 'This year I'm in,' signaling improved outlook or role confidence. Stewart also has Wilson pushed up to the top of round four, ranking him after Ibuka, Lad McConi, Jaylen Wadd, and T. Higgins, but preferring a tier of DeVonta Smith, Z Flowers, Malik Neighbors, Crystal Lave, and George Pickens. Wilson is positioned as a strong value in the dead-zone range.PositiveValueAug 20, 2026
Ron Stewart views Garrett Wilson as a strong value play despite poor quarterback play. Wilson has historically produced at 19 points per game through five games last year with Justin Fields, and Stewart believes he is as talented as George Pickens, Nico Collins, and Chris Olave—earning targets at the same rate as first-round receivers. At his current price, Stewart sees significant upside if he receives league-average quarterback play, with 'meat on the bone' at his draft cost. Stewart also cites Wilson as a historical example of a talented player who emerged immediately as a rookie on the Jets, demonstrating that elite talent can produce regardless of situation.PositiveProjectionAug 19, 2026
Ron Stewart identifies Garrett Wilson as a top pick with a high floor (14.8 PPG) and ceiling (18.5 PPG).

Stewart considers him a strong value in round four.PositiveValueAug 18, 2026

He is also selected as a wide receiver in a double hero RB draft example roster.PositiveValueAug 14, 2026
Highlighted as the standout wide receiver pick in the draft range; the source notes that outside of Wilson, the wide receiver options become significantly more difficult and less appealing.PositiveProjectionAug 13, 2026
Garrett Wilson projects to 14+ points per game, matching the production tier of Z Flowers, Crystal Lobby, and DeVonta Smith; Ron Stewart likes Wilson significantly despite acknowledging undoubtedly more downside variance in his projection compared to those peers, using projection as a skeleton framework rather than pure ranking determinant.PositiveRoleAug 12, 2026

Garrett Wilson is Ron Stewart's most drafted player in round 4 across all drafts, indicating strong conviction and frequent selection at that price point.NegativeProjectionJan 16, 2026
Ron Stewart notes Garrett Wilson got bailed out with an injury; Stewart believes if Wilson had stayed healthy and played with Brady Cook over the final stretch, he would not have produced like he did in the first few weeks. This suggests Wilson's early-season performance was buoyed by a stronger QB situation before Cook took over.PositiveProjectionNo date
Wilson ranked as wide receiver 17 with a 30%+ target share in two of his last three seasons and 34% target share in five games last year (19+ PPR points per game in that sample). He led the league in first-read target share at 29.4%, behind only JSN and Puka Nakua. Despite 2.1 yards per route with poor QB play (Jets 29th in completions, 32nd in passing yards and TDs last year), the Jets project to 8th in completions, 21st in passing yards, 22nd in passing TDs this year—a significant leap from league average to low-20s range. This QB play improvement should unlock Wilson's elite target share into consistent production.PositiveRoleNo date
The source notes that play-caller Frank Reich has explicitly identified Garrett Wilson as a bellcow player around whom the offense will be run, signaling high usage expectations.PositiveInjuryNo date
Wilson suffered a hyperextension injury (not an ACL tear) that appears mild based on available information. The Jets shut him down cautiously with Brady Cook at QB, but there is no rush to return. The source is drafting him as normal this offseason and expects him to be fine entering training camp and week one.
