Wilson is available more cheaply in 2026 (fourth round) than he has been since his rookie year, and cheaper than 2025, making him a value play despite the Jets situation. Davis Matic is more optimistic about the Jets with Geno Smith and their weapons than he was last year with Justin Fields. Wilson exemplifies the long view concept: he was a first-round prospect disliked for his Jets landing spot in his rookie year, making him cheaper than warranted. He had a strong rookie season with career-high yards per route run, but production has declined each year since despite strong underlying play and route running. The decline does not make sense given his underlying talent and the games watched. Context: Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles immediately upon joining the Jets in year two of Wilson's career, preventing what was supposed to be an upgrade at QB; in year three he did play but had a tough year, and the team traded for DeVonta Adams midseason.

Sentiment around Wilson has shifted meaningfully. A year ago, ranking a rookie profile like Tate's anywhere near Wilson would have been unthinkable. Now Wilson is entering the presumed prime of his career, turning 26 later this summer, and still hasn't played with a clearly competent starting quarterback. The concern is that he could age out of his prime before that changes, though nothing is confirmed. If a strong rookie quarterback arrives (potentially as soon as next year), Wilson still projects to deliver several strong seasons paired with a legitimate passer. The source noted landing Wilson at pick 47 overall, in the late fourth round, in a recent startup draft and considering that strong value.
PositiveUsageJul 16, 2026Hayden Winks - PPR Rankings
Garrett Wilson (WR, NYJ) is #40 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 39.6 with a 188.1-point projection. Verdict: Wilson projects as a WR2 despite FUD of (overrated) new target comp. It's never easy for Wilson to score fantasy points. It comes with the territory as a Jet. 2026 is likely to be no different with Geno Smith aging, OC Frank Reich coming off 3-straight incomplete seasons as a coach, and with multiple 1st-round picks spent on pass catchers this offseason.
