Garrett Wilson is mentioned as a keeper option in the 4th round but is not selected over Caleb Williams in the 10th round due to superior value.PositiveValueJul 13, 2026
Wilson is currently undervalued at WR13 on KeepTradeCut despite elite WR1 upside; the source recommends dynasty managers "go buy Garrett Wilson" because his trade value is anchored to Jets dysfunction rather than his actual production. Before his knee injury after 5.5 games in 2025, Wilson averaged 19.04 PPR points per game (elite WR1 production) and was on pace for 114 receptions, nearly 1,300 yards, and 12 touchdowns—top-six numbers across the board. Through his first four games, he totaled 38 targets (2nd), 27 receptions (2nd), 311 receiving yards (5th), and 3 touchdowns (3rd). At 26 years old, he fits both contenders and rebuilders. Wilson remains the unquestioned alpha receiver for the Jets and now enters arguably the best quarterback situation of his Jets career with Geno Smith, who owns a 78.3% career on-target throw percentage compared to 73.0% for predecessor Justin Fields; Smith completed 67.4% of his passes last season versus Fields' 62.7%. Wilson doesn't need elite quarterback play but rather accurate, consistent quarterback play to maximize the elite volume he's already earning. Wilson also carries more insulation than several receivers ranked ahead of him—unlike George Pickens, whose production is heavily dependent on CeeDee Lamb's availability (averaging 24.2 PPR and 24% target share without Lamb versus 15 PPR and 20.2% target share with Lamb), Wilson's elite volume is not contingent on teammate availability. The source acquired him by trading Jonah Coleman, Jordan Addison, and a late 2027 first-round pick while receiving an early 2028 third and $10 FAAB.PositiveRoleJul 6, 2026
Jets WR positioned to reclaim elite target-earner status with Geno Smith's return; had a strong start before injury derailed both his season and the Jets' campaign; the source questions whether he can return to elite target volume.
