On the surface, the Titans vs. the Jets is an underwhelming, avoidable matchup with a low point total. However, Wilson is a hidden gem. The Jets' rookie additions have been injured or underwhelmed in preseason. Wilson is the unquestioned WR1 who thrives regardless of the quarterback based on pure volume. Even with Justin Fields, Wilson had four WR1 performances in the six games they played together. His pricing is excellent for the upside compared to similarly priced players.

Garrett Wilson is in a pretty good spot for the Jets' opening game against Tennessee.

Wilson is priced at 29.4% but has a fair price of 35%, creating significant value. He is a 100-catch, 1,100-yard alpha receiver with competent quarterback play in a great offensive matchup against the Titans. Wilson could see 40% of the targets on Sunday, and the current price is too long. The Titans are being priced like the Rams at this number, or the Jets' offense is being priced with Brady Cook under center.

Garrett Wilson is a must-start player in the D tier and above, regardless of league settings, despite the game being projected as horribly low-scoring; the reason is that new additions Kenyan Drake and Omar Cooper Jr. (round one pick) will have no role whatsoever at the start of the year, concentrating targets on Wilson.

Wilson projects for 61.5 receiving yards in Week 1 at Tennessee. The Geno Smith addition over Justin Fields should significantly boost Wilson's production; over the last three seasons, Geno Smith averaged 1.2 fantasy points per dropback versus Fields' 1.0, and Smith takes 64.0% dropbacks per play versus Fields' 54.5%. New OC Frank Reich should help get Wilson the ball with a real, experienced QB. Tennessee's defense was reworked under HC Robert Saleh with additions at CB (Alontae Taylor, Cor'Dale Flott) and DL, but they lack a quality third CB and this is their first action together. Wilson is still WR20 in betting markets because the Jets project for only 19.0 points on the road (third lowest).

Garrett Wilson faces Tennessee, a team that disappointed during preseason, signaling a potentially long season ahead. The Titans' DB coach Tony Oden coached the Jets' secondary from 2021–2024 and employs an aggressive philosophy that could leave Tennessee vulnerable to Wilson's elite route running. If the Titans get too aggressive defensively, Wilson's elite route-running ability could exploit their secondary. The source frames this as a favorable matchup with the runway clear for Wilson's takeoff.

Ranked as WR14, Wilson is a strong play against a Titans defense that allowed a league-high 18 PPR points to opposing WR1s last year. The source is high on Wilson this season, citing improved quarterback play and a favorable matchup against the Titans' secondary, particularly if Alontae Taylor is forced to play outside corner.

Garrett Wilson is identified as the Jets' primary receiver, with Zachariason noting that 'finding quality receivers to put around Garrett Wilson was always going to be a heavy lift' given the team's limited resources. The Jets' 2024 receiver group beyond Wilson consisted of journeymen with no upside (Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Tyler Johnson) and fourth-round pick Arian Smith, who was viewed as a massive reach and has done little to change that perception.
