New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said on Monday that wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) "will be participating in practice this week," according to Brian Costello of the New York Post. Wilson hasn't played since hyperextending his knee in London back on Oct. 12 in a loss to the Denver Broncos, but the 25-year-old appears to be feeling better with the team coming off their bye in Week 9. It's great news that Wilson is expected to get back onto the practice field this week, but it doesn't guarantee he'll be active for a Week 10 contest against the Cleveland Browns this Sunday. Creating more uncertainty for Wilson's fantasy value this week is the fact that the Jets might still be deciding who they are going to start at quarterback between Justin Fields and veteran Tyrod Taylor (knee). Wilson could be limited if he returns this weekend, too, which would make him more of a WR3/flex option for fantasy managers if he suits up against the Browns.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) did not participate in the Jets' bye week practice on Tuesday, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post. Wilson has missed two games after suffering a knee injury in the fourth quarter of their 13-11 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 6, but now will get the bye week to ensure he is healthy for the second half of the season. The star wideout was having a fantastic season despite poor quarterback play, catching 36 balls for 395 yards and four touchdowns on 56 targets in six games. He currently ranks as the WR7 in PPR points per game (16.6), and there should be more updates on his status over the next week. If he is unable to suit up again in Week 10, rookie tight end Mason Taylor would be in line for a heavy target share along with wide receivers Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson, and Allen Lazard mixing in.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) has been ruled out for their Week 8 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. The star wideout suffered this knee injury during the final quarter of their Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos. Wilson was unable to suit up last weekend and will now miss his second-straight game. During his first five games of the season, Wilson was on pace to enjoy the best season of his career as he caught 33 of his 48 targets for 382 yards and four touchdowns. As a result, managers should expect the vast majority of targets to go to rookie tight end Mason Taylor and wide receivers Josh Reynolds and Allen Lazard. However, Taylor projects as a low-end TE1, while Reynolds and Lazard as desperate FLEX plays, as the Jets have yet to announce their starting QB for this contest. Wilson will look to return in Week 10 to face the Browns, following their Week 9 bye.
Oct 24, 2025 11:46 AM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) was not seen at practice on Thursday, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Head coach Aaron Glenn said that Wilson was day-to-day, but the star wideout has yet to practice this week and looks headed for a second straight absence in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals after hyperextending his knee in the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos in London. At this time, fantasy managers shouldn't plan on having Wilson available for this weekend's action. If he misses a second straight game, the Jets will once again go with Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, and Arian Smith as their top three receivers, with rookie tight end Mason Taylor also being one of the top pass-game targets for either quarterback Tyrod Taylor (knee) or Justin Fields. That would not be a recipe for success as the Jets seek their first victory of 2025.
Oct 23, 2025 1:04 PM EST
Although New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn called wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) day-to-day, he was unable to practice on Wednesday, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Wilson has not practiced since hyperextending his knee in the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos in London, and he did not take the field in last week's loss to the Carolina Panthers. The 25-year-old is trending towards missing a second straight game in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals unless he can return to practice in the next two days. If he does return, it looks like he could be taking passes from veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor, too. As of right now, fantasy managers should keep Wilson on their benches. The team has its bye coming in Week 9, so it would make sense for the Jets to hold him out another week and hope he can return in Week 10 against the Cleveland Browns.
Oct 22, 2025 7:55 PM EST
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) is considered day-to-day, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post. Wilson suffered a hyperextended knee in the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos in London and did not suit up in Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers. The 25-year-old appears to have a shot at returning this weekend when the Jets square off against the Cincinnati Bengals, but it will likely come down to how much he can do at practice this week. Wilson is the team's clear No. 1 receiver and has 56 targets through six games played, so the Jets desperately need him back with the team expected to give veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor his first start of the year in Week 8. Wilson's fantasy ceiling has been low in New York's struggling passing attack, and it's unlikely that Taylor will be much of an improvement. If Wilson sits out again this weekend, Josh Reynolds will again serve as the Jets' WR1.
Oct 22, 2025 12:23 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee), who was listed as doubtful for Week 7 against the visiting Carolina Panthers, has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game. Wilson suffered a hyperextended knee in last week's loss in London to the Denver Broncos and was unable to practice all week. There is some optimism that Wilson will only have to miss one game, but it's unclear if he'll be in play to return for a Week 8 tilt next Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Wilson has been the team's clear WR1 through six weeks, so they'll have to adjust and use Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Arian Smith, and Isaiah Williams if they want to win their first game of the year against Carolina. Rookie tight end Mason Taylor could easily lead the Jets in targets this week with Wilson out. It's hard to recommend Reynolds or anyone else on Sunday for a flex spot in fantasy in what has been a bad Jets passing offense this year.
Oct 19, 2025 11:53 AM EST
Updating a previous report, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) is listed as doubtful to play on Sunday in Week 7 versus the Carolina Panthers, according to The 33rd Team's Ari Meirov. A previous report suggested Wilson had already been ruled out for this weekend. The 25-year-old will most likely not be on the field this Sunday at MetLife Stadium after hyperextending his knee in last week's loss to the Denver Broncos in London. The good news for the Jets and for fantasy managers, though, is that Wilson could be in play to miss only one game and return in Week 8 to face the Cincinnati Bengals. With Wilson likely out this weekend, Josh Reynolds (hip) and rookie tight end Mason Taylor figure to draw most of the attention from quarterback Justin Fields, who is planning to be more aggressive as a passer as the Jets seek their first victory of the year. At best, Reynolds will be a volume-based WR4/flex streamer in fantasy.
Oct 17, 2025 12:25 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) will not play in his team's Week 7 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. Wilson suffered a knee injury in Week 6 and always seemed like a long shot to play against Carolina. However, Zenitz reports that "there's some hope" that Wilson "could maybe be back" for the Jets Week 8 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. With Wilson sidelined in Week 7, veteran wideout Josh Reynolds (hip) could assume the team's WR1 role if he is able to play through a hip issue that held him out of practice on Wednesday. Wide receivers Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson, and Allen Lazard could also see more playing time. However, the most likely candidates to lead the Jets in targets could be tight end Mason Taylor and running back Breece Hall.
Oct 17, 2025 10:30 AM EST
There was no sign of New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) at practice on Thursday, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Although the Jets aren't ruling Wilson out for their Week 7 contest against the Carolina Panthers, he's looking like a long shot to play this Sunday after hyperextending his knee in last week's loss to the Denver Broncos in London. Previous reports suggested that the 25-year-old wideout could miss multiple weeks, so fantasy managers definitely need to move him to their benches. Josh Reynolds (hip) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday, and he figures to see a sizeable role increase going forward for however long Wilson is out. In addition to Reynolds, Allen Lazard (personal), Arian Smith, and Tyler Johnson will need to do more to help a struggling Jets passing attack. With Wilson likely to miss time, rookie tight end Mason Taylor could end up leading the team in targets.
Oct 16, 2025 1:04 PM EST
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn isn't ruling wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) out for the Week 7 game on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, but he will not practice on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. When asked about Wilson's chances of playing this weekend, Glenn said, "We'll see how he progresses" during the week. The 25-year-old suffered a hyperextended knee in the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos in London and is expected to miss a couple of weeks, so it's probably only a matter of time this week before he's ruled out for Sunday's game against Carolina. With Wilson expected to miss time, Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard (personal), Arian Smith and Tyler Johnson will all have bigger roles, as well as rookie tight end Mason Taylor. However, fantasy managers may not want to expect much, as the Jets have had one of the worst passing attacks through six weeks.
Oct 15, 2025 12:33 PM EST
An MRI exam on Monday revealed that New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) suffered a hyperextended knee in the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday in London, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. According to a source, Wilson is now expected to miss "a couple of weeks." While it's obviously bad news for the Jets and for fantasy managers, Wilson avoided a serious long-term injury and will be back this year. The Jets have two more games in Week 7 (against the Carolina Panthers) and in Week 8 (versus the Cincinnati Bengals) before their bye in Week 9. Fantasy managers probably should be planning for Wilson to be out through the team's Week 9 bye, which would mean the earliest he could return to play would be in Week 10 against the Cleveland Browns. The Jets already had one of the worst passing attacks in the NFL, and with Wilson out, now they'll have to lean more on rookie tight end Mason Taylor and receivers Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Tyler Johnson, and Arian Smith.
Oct 13, 2025 6:33 PM EST
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed during a Monday press conference that wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) is being evaluated for a knee injury and that the team should have more information on the exact nature of the injury on Wednesday. Losing Wilson for any stretch of time would be a major issue for the Jets' struggling offense. The 25-year-old has recorded 36 catches for 395 yards and four touchdowns on 56 targets through his first six games of 2025. At minimum, Wilson's status for Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers appears to be in question. If Wilson were to be sidelined, Jets wideouts Josh Reynolds and Arian Smith would both be in line for an uptick in targets. Veteran wide receiver Allen Lazard (personal) was inactive in Week 6 due to personal reasons, but he could be back in the mix as well for New York in Week 7.
Oct 13, 2025 10:37 AM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) suffered a knee injury during his team's Week 6 matchup against the Denver Broncos in London and will undergo an MRI, according to Connor Hughes of SNY. Wilson's injury was initially reported as a hip issue, but Hughes clarifies that it is actually Wilson's knee that is the problem. Wilson recorded three catches for 13 yards on eight targets in the Jets' 13-11 loss to the Broncos. If he were to miss time, Jets wideouts Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith, and Tyler Johnson would likely see more targets, as would tight end Mason Taylor.
Oct 12, 2025 2:22 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (hip) sustained an injury on Sunday during an ugly 13-11 loss to the Denver Broncos in which the Jets fell to 0-6 on the season. Jets coach Aaron Glenn confirmed the hip injury after the game, according to Antwan Staley of the New York Daily News. The former Ohio State Buckeye entered the game fourth among all wide receivers in targets and seventh in yards, but managed just three catches for 13 yards against Denver as New York threw for only 45 yards and gave up nine sacks. Wilson didn't miss extended time because of the injury on Sunday, but his status will be worth observing when the Jets return to practice prior to playing Carolina in Week 7.
Oct 12, 2025 1:10 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson will get a resilient Denver Broncos team this Sunday when the two squads square off in London. The Broncos are one of the better all-around defensive units in the league, and have been solid against opposing passing attacks, yielding 200.2 passing yards per game (eighth-fewest). While there is some concern for the 25-year-old's ceiling in this contest, Wilson has been outstanding thus far. Even including a down outing against the Bills in Week 2, he ranks third among all pass-catchers in target share (32.9%), seventh in yards (382), and fourth in targets (48), corraling four touchdowns through the first five games. Wilson's target-hog role in New York's offense will keep his weekly floor high, and rookie tight end Mason Taylor shouldn't dent his value too much, if at all. The Ohio State Product comes in as RotoBaller's PPR WR10 ahead of Week 6.
Oct 11, 2025 3:13 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught six of his 10 targets for 71 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 5 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Wilson remains Justin Fields' preferred target in the passing game and ranks in the WR2 tier as a result, but his Week 5 fantasy performance was admittedly inflated by a garbage-time touchdown. The former Ohio State product found the end zone with New York trailing by three possessions and just 2:49 left on the clock. Of course, fantasy managers don't care how or when players produce, as the results are the same either way. New York should continue to play from behind for most of this season, leaving ample opportunities for Wilson to boost his stats and reward fantasy managers as a mid-to-low WR2.
Oct 6, 2025 1:11 AM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson is a locked-in WR1 for this weekend's home outing against the Dallas Cowboys. The Ohio State alum has been the most productive New York pass-catcher, and it isn't close. Wilson leads the Jets in targets (38), receptions (27), yards (311), and touchdowns (three), with the next closest "receiver" being Breece Hall and his 13/108 line (19 targets). He is once again set for an enormous target share as New York hosts a vulnerable Dallas defense in Week 5. The Cowboys' defensive unit has been sieve-like thus far, yielding the most total yards (420.5) and second-most points (33.0) per game to opponents. With Dallas' inability to stop the opposition, and Wilson being the most consistent Jets' weapon, he's in store for yet another blow-up spot. The 25-year-old is RotoBaller's PPR WR5 ahead of this weekend's slate of action.
Oct 4, 2025 1:30 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught six of eight targets for 82 yards and a touchdown against the Dolphins on Monday night. Wilson has caught a touchdown in three of four games to begin the 2025 season, and he could have had two if he hadn't gotten called for a very questionable offensive pass interference call. The entire Jets' passing offense has been centered around Wilson, and he has been peppered with targets. His 38 targets through four games are the fifth most in the NFL. But the Jets continue to be very run-heavy with Justin Fields, which limits the opportunities and upside for Wilson in fantasy. He's so talented that he is still able to make it work. Wilson should be viewed as a WR1 for next week's matchup against Dallas.
Sep 30, 2025 1:12 AM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson gets a smash matchup in Week 4 when he lines up with the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football. The 25-year-old has been New York's most productive player thus far, and it hasn't mattered whether it's been quarterback Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor peppering him with targets. Wilson's usage is phenomenal, as he's sporting a ludicrous 39% target share - second only in the league to Seattle's Jaxon Smith-Njigba (40.3%). That should bode well for him against a dreadful Miami pass defense that's allowed a bottom-half figure in passing yards allowed per game (225.3), and already afforded four touchdowns to the wide receiver position. Even in a Jets' offense that hasn't yet found its groove, Wilson remains a solid back-end WR1. He'll come in at RotoBaller's PPR WR12 ahead of his Monday night matchup.
