All Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz insights about Garrett Wilson
PositiveProjectionOct 7, 2026
Ian Hartitz projects Garrett Wilson as an upside WR2 in Week 5 against Cleveland with top-12 potential. Wilson should see double-digit targets with AD Mitchell sidelined by finger injury. Denzel Ward is the Browns' primary cornerback but does not shadow receivers heavily—only Ted McMillan saw 49% shadow coverage, Amari Okonkwo 36%, DK Metcalf 25%, and Parker Washington 20%—positioning Wilson for favorable coverage matchups. Hartitz notes Wilson's recent performance: nearly 27 points against the Lions secondary, which has allowed 126 passing yards per game through four weeks, the worst mark of any defense over the last five years.PositiveUsageSep 28, 2026
Wilson drew a defensive pass interference penalty and/or got it in the end zone in Week 3, indicating strong downfield and red zone target volume.NegativeProjectionSep 23, 2026
Ranked as WR21, Garrett Wilson remains a talented player with top-10 separation metrics, but Ian Hartitz expresses concern that he is not running away with the target share against AD Mitchell, capping his WR1 upside; while a matchup against the Lions' poor defense is favorable, he is unlikely to return top-10 numbers, though top-15 to top-20 is realistic.NegativeUsageSep 21, 2026
Garrett Wilson remains a focal point of the passing game, maintaining a 90% route share and a 19% target share. He finished Week 2 with 5 catches for 57 yards and a touchdown, continuing to serve as a mid-to-low-end WR2.PositiveProjectionSep 16, 2026
Ranked WR22 with a strong 29% target share in Week 1 against the Packers. Gino Smith and the Seahawks offense looked good against the Titans, positioning Wilson for potential rank improvement moving forward. Ian Hartitz plans to move him up the ranks.NegativeProjectionSep 8, 2026
Primary receiving option for the Jets in Week 1 against the Titans; Hartitz notes Vegas has the Jets ranked 29th in team totals for Week 1, suggesting a lower-scoring game. Wilson is the clear starter but the matchup context is neutral.NegativeRoleSep 3, 2026
Noted as the primary receiver in the Jets offense, with Jalen Coker and other receivers operating in a secondary role within the system.PositiveValueAug 30, 2026
JJ Zachariason targets Garrett Wilson in round five, noting he breaks his rule about avoiding early-round Jets players, indicating Wilson's value justifies the exception. Zachariason also drafts Wilson as a wide receiver in an ESPN mock from the 11th pick, pairing him with Nico Luther Burden as WR options, demonstrating conviction in Wilson's draft positioning.NegativeProjectionAug 28, 2026
Wilson is projected to smash as long as Gino Smith remains the starting QB, but there is a late-season availability concern. Rich Hribar worries Wilson might not be on the field in the final month of the year due to potential injury or other factors, creating a ceiling risk despite strong mid-season upside.NegativeBustAug 16, 2026
Ian Hartitz warns that Garrett Wilson is overvalued at his current ADP, as he is being drafted in the first four rounds despite playing in an offense that could finish 32nd in scoring. While acknowledging Wilson's top-15 per-game finish last year, Hartitz argues that the risk of a bottom-10 offense makes him a poor value compared to players with top-five upside.NegativeBustAug 7, 2026
Ian Hartitz explicitly labels Garrett Wilson as a high-bust candidate, noting that he would have included him in his official bust list if he hadn't already discussed him as a personal favorite elsewhere. Despite finishing as the WR15 last year, Hartitz maintains a high bust rate for Wilson.PositiveRoleNo date
With A.D. Mitchell out due to finger injury, Wilson is elevated to a wide receiver 1 play for the Jets.PositiveProjectionNo date
Ian Hartitz ranks Garrett Wilson as WR9 against the Chicago Bears, assuming AD Mitchell is sidelined with a finger injury. With Mitchell out, Wilson's target competition decreases (Mitchell had 15 targets, Wilson had 14 going into last week). Wilson posted a season-high 13 targets, 10 catches, 107 yards, and a touchdown on fourth down against the Lions. The Bears run man coverage at one of the highest rates of the year and are not a strong defense overall. Gino Smith has completed 90% of his deep passes this year (highest mark in the NFL). Hartitz calls Wilson "a stud" and states "Great things" are expected as long as the offensive line holds up and Gino plays like 2023–2024 Gino rather than regressing to 2025 form.PositiveBustNo date
Ian Hartitz fades Garrett Wilson as a bold pick despite consensus round 3-4 ADP (WR 12-18) due to multiple concerns: (1) the traditional case for Wilson—that he'll accumulate 150+ targets due to lack of receiving competition—no longer holds with more target competition than ever; (2) the Jets offense is ranked 32nd by Vegas and could be the single worst in the NFL; (3) the team could start a really bad rookie QB down the stretch; (4) even when Wilson had high target volume in the past, he didn't deliver amazing returns; (5) per-game numbers last year were fine in limited sample but tape shows concerning patterns (e.g., eight-yard curls in Tampa Bay game with Tyrod Taylor); (6) Hartitz would prefer to see Wilson team up with a better QB like Arch Manning or Dante Moore in 2027 or beyond. Hartitz refuses to use a top-40 to top-45 pick on this offense and is "really having a bigger time struggling" with Wilson at current ADP given the poor offensive environment under Frank Reich.
