Garrett Wilson Brings WR1 Upside Into Season Opener

Saturday, September 12, 7:51 AM

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson returns healthy for Sunday's opener against Tennessee after a knee injury limited him to seven games in 2025. Wilson still caught 36 passes for 395 yards and four touchdowns during the shortened season, and his last full campaign showed the volume he can command. He finished 2024 with 101 receptions for 1,104 yards and seven touchdowns, completing a run of three straight 1,000-yard seasons to begin his career. Geno Smith now takes over at quarterback, with Wilson remaining the clear No. 1 option in Frank Reich's offense. Tennessee allowed 30 passing touchdowns and 8.2 yards per attempt last season, although Robert Saleh has since taken over as head coach. RotoBaller ranks Wilson WR15 for Week 1. His target ceiling makes him a strong high-end WR2 with a realistic path to WR1 production in the opener.

Ashton Jeanty Leads Raiders to Week 1 Win vs. Dolphins

Sunday, September 13, 4:05 PM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty had 23 carries for 102 rushing yards and added six receptions for 45 yards and two receiving touchdowns in Sunday's 27-13 win against the visiting Miami Dolphins. The second-year back from Boise State was quarterback Kirk Cousins' preferred target in Week 1, and he hauled in all six of his targets in the home-opening victory. Jeanty was a workhorse in 2025, logging 266 carries for 975 yards and five touchdowns in his rookie campaign, and he is expected to keep shouldering a heavy workload early in the 2026 season. Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak will likely lean on Jeanty again in Week 2 against the host Los Angeles Chargers, who ranked fifth in the league against the pass last season but were inconsistent against the run. Jeanty remains a high-end RB2 for fantasy managers as the Raiders hit the road to face the Bolts.
