New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught four of his five targets for 51 yards in a 32-20 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 18. Wilson finished third on the team in receiving in the high-scoring win while he was held out of the end zone for the sixth time over his final eight games of the season. The Jets' decision to acquire Davante Adams at the trade deadline cut into Wilson's production over the back half of the season but he still finished with career highs in catches (102), receiving yards (1,104), and touchdowns (seven). Wilson vented some frustration about his role in December and there have been rumors he could demand a trade this offseason if Aaron Rodgers remains the team's quarterback, although he later went on record to state that his relationship with Rodgers was fine. It would be a surprise if the Jets were willing to part with their talented stud 24-year-old receiver this offseason.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught seven passes for 66 yards and a touchdown, his second in the past three games, in a Week 17 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Wilson needs just three receptions against the Miami Dolphins in Week 18 to log the first 100-catch season of his young career. That being said, the Dolphins have been excellent against receivers this season, allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Wilson remains behind Davante Adams in the target pecking order in New York. However, the targets in the New York passing attack are consolidated enough that he is still safe to start as a high-end WR2 in fantasy leagues while also worth considering for DFS tournaments this weekend as he is unlikely to be highly rostered due to the tough matchup.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught seven of his eight targets for 66 yards and a touchdown while losing a fumble in a 40-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 17. Wilson, who is rumored to be considering requesting a trade in the offseason if Aaron Rodgers remains as the team's quarterback in 2025, was one of the team's few bright spots in the blowout loss to Buffalo. His touchdown came on a nine-yard pass from Tyrod Taylor in the fourth quarter. Wilson will take a career-high seven touchdown catches into the season finale against the Miami Dolphins in Week 18.

According to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, a key part of the New York Jets' offseason will involve determining whether star wide receiver Garrett Wilson will be part of the team's future. The 2022 first-round pick has not connected with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, with Rapoport reporting the two had a "blowup" at training camp and have not been on the same page since. Teams inquired about Wilson at the trade deadline, when New York opted to acquire wide receiver Davante Adams instead. With Wilson eligible for a contract extension after this season, New York has some thinking to do about which members of this lost season ought to be back next year.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught six of seven targets for 54 scoreless yards in a Week 16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. With just one touchdown over his past six games, Wilson will look to finish the final two games of the season on a high note, starting with a Week 17 road matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have been average against opposing receivers this season, allowing the 14th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Fantasy managers rostering Wilson will want to monitor the status of Davante Adams (hip) heading into the weekend. Adams is listed as questionable with a hip injury. If he ultimately ends up playing, Wilson can be considered a low-end WR1 in fantasy but if Adams does suit up, Wilson downgrades to a low-end WR2. Stay tuned.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson voiced his frustration after being targeted just three times in the first 55 minutes of the game by quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the Week 16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. "I'd like to be involved, love to make an impact on the game, but people see it differently," Wilson said. "That's out of my control." Wilson praised passing-game coordinator Todd Downing for trying to get him the ball, so the pass-catcher could really be taking a shot at Rodgers. In the last five quarters, Wilson has only been targeted five times. In the same span, Rodgers' buddy, receiver Davante Adams, has been targeted 17 times. Even Allen Lazard (seven) saw more targets than Wilson. He finished with six catches for 54 yards on Sunday thanks to a late comeback attempt, but it wasn't enough to make Wilson happy. He's on the verge of his third 1,000-yard season, but there has been speculation that he could ask for a trade sooner than later.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught six of his seven targets for 54 yards in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. As has been the case for much of the past month, Wilson was outproduced by Davante Adams. While not a disastrous fantasy performance, Wilson was held to 60 yards or fewer for the third straight game and fourth time over his past five contests. He has turned in just one 100-yard receiving performance since Adams was acquired in a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders back on October 15. Wilson is shaping up as a low-end WR2 heading into a Week 17 road matchup against the Bills.
Dec 22, 2024 4:37 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson broke a four-game scoreless streak with a short touchdown reception in a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. The veteran receiver will look to keep it going at home in a Week 16 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams have been a decent matchup for wideouts this season as they are allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Wilson has seen Davante Adams overtake him as the preferred target in New York but he is still seeing enough work to stay on the map as a mid-range WR2 in fantasy moving forward. He should be in all lineups in a game against the Rams that has sneaky shootout potential.
Dec 20, 2024 9:00 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught three of his six targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in a 32-25 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. Wilson finished second on the Jets in catches, targets, and receiving yards, although it was Davante Adams who dominated the passing attack with nine catches for 198 yards and two scores. His touchdown catch came on a 22-yard pass from Aaron Rodgers in the first quarter. Wilson has six touchdown receptions on the season as he will look to stay hot against the Los Angeles Rams at home in Week 16.
Dec 15, 2024 9:27 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson broke out of a late-season slump with a seven-catch, 114-yard outing against the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. He will look to build upon that performance in a road matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. The Jaguars have struggled to slow down opposing passing attacks this season as they are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Wilson has been inconsistent since the calendar flipped to November but the matchup is good enough that he can be treated as a solid WR2 in fantasy for Week 15.
Dec 13, 2024 9:47 PM EST
The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt suggests that it might not be a matter of if, but rather when, frustrated New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson asks for a trade out of town. Only in his third season with the Jets, Wilson appears to be fed up with the losing after being eliminated from the postseason yet again in the Week 14 loss to the division-rival Miami Dolphins. Wilson will be eligible to negotiate a long-term contract extension for the first time in his career after the season, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him want to move on with it feeling like a full teardown is coming this offseason. The former first-rounder just has not been on the same page with quarterback Aaron Rodgers far too frequently. The 24-year-old has been solid in fantasy, though, averaging 12.2 half-PPR points (tied for 19th), although he hasn't scored since Oct. 31. Leaving the Jets would most likely give Wilson more long-term fantasy value.
Dec 9, 2024 5:17 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught seven of his 10 targets for 114 yards in a 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. Wilson broke out of a three-game lull to lead the Jets in receiving in the close loss to their divisional rivals, although it was Davante Adams who caught Aaron Rodgers' lone touchdown pass. The 100-yard receiving game was Wilson's first since October 27 against the New England Patriots. He will look to stay hot in a plus matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15.
Dec 8, 2024 10:51 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson has been struggling of late, having caught just 14 passes for 100 yards and no touchdowns over his past three games. He will look to return to WR1 status in Week 14's road matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins will provide a considerable challenge for Wilson to do so, however, as they are allowing the second-fewest fantasy points per game to receivers this season. Wilson is too talented to bench and is only a few games removed from a very productive month of October, but he should be treated as a low-end WR2 in fantasy for this weekend.
Dec 6, 2024 9:30 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught five of his 10 targets for 41 yards in a 26-21 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. Wilson turned in an inefficient game, mustering less than 42 yards for the third straight game despite drawing 10 targets in the contest. The third-year wideout has slowly been overtaken by Davante Adams in the Jets offense, posting 14 catches for just 100 yards and no touchdowns over his past three games while Adams has racked up a 17-169-1 line over that same span. Wilson is looking like a low-end WR2 for the remainder of the season.
Dec 1, 2024 7:08 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson returns from his bye to take on the Seattle Seahawks at home in Week 13. After a scorching hot month of October, Wilson is coming off two straight pedestrian outings since the calendar flipped to November, posting just nine catches for 59 scoreless yards over that span. He will look to bounce back against a Seattle defense that is allowing the 16th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this season. Despite the recent struggles, Wilson remains an elite talent and a focal point of the New York passing offense that concentrates its targets to him and Davante Adams, making him a high-end WR2 in fantasy for this weekend.
Nov 29, 2024 8:56 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught four of his eight targets for 18 yards in a 28-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 11. Wilson led the Jets in targets but he managed just a meager 4.5 yards per catch in the close loss to Indy. The veteran wideout has been quiet over his past two games as he has only nine catches for 59 yards and no touchdowns over that span. Wilson will be on bye in Week 12 before he takes on the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13.
Nov 17, 2024 9:24 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson turned in his slowest game since Week 4 with a five-catch, 41-yard performance against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10. He will look to bounce back against the Indianapolis Colts at home in Week 11. The Colts have struggled to contain opposing receivers this season, allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Wilson has seen at least eight targets in all but two of his games this season and is safe to deploy as a solid WR1 in fantasy this weekend.
Nov 16, 2024 8:54 AM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught five of his six targets for 41 yards in a 31-6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10. Wilson and the rest of the New York passing attack struggled against the Arizona secondary in the blowout loss as Aaron Rodgers passed for just 151 yards on 35 attempts. The slow outing for Wilson breaks a streak of five straight games with at least 61 receiving yards. Wilson now has 65 catches for 704 yards and five touchdowns through 10 games. He has a good shot at bouncing back against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 11.
Nov 10, 2024 9:41 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson has been on a tear of late as he has gotten to at least 100 receiving yards in three of his past five games while notching four touchdowns over that span. Wilson will look to keep it going in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals on the road. The Cardinals have been a decent matchup for receivers as they are allowing the 14th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. The target share has really consolidated around Wilson and Davante Adams of late and that should continue to be the case in Week 10 with Mike Williams traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Allen Lazard (chest) on injured reserve. Treat Wilson as a top-six fantasy wideout this weekend.
Nov 9, 2024 8:32 AM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson turned in a huge game in his team's 21-13 win over the Houston Texans in Week 9's Thursday night game. Wilson caught nine of his 10 targets for 90 yards and two touchdowns to help down the Texans in the close game. The veteran receiver's second touchdown was impressive as he made a leaping, one-handed grab in close coverage in the back of the end zone and just barely got both feet down in bounds for a 26-yard score. Wilson is hitting his stride after a quiet start to the season and has 60 catches for 663 yards and five touchdowns through nine games. He will be a low-end WR1 heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
