Who Should I Start? Garrett Wilson or Trey Palmer

Monday, January 8, 12:17 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (neck, elbow), who suffered a neck injury in the Week 18 win over the New England Patriots in the regular season finale on Sunday, said he is fine. Wilson also said he doesn't think he needs surgery for an elbow injury that he dealt with all year. The 23-year-old was believed to have suffered a head injury when he took a hard hit in Sunday's contest, but he avoided any kind of serious injury and will have a normal offseason as he heads into his third NFL season. Despite losing quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a torn Achilles in Week 1, Wilson finished with 95 catches for 1,042 yards and three touchdowns in 2023. His 168 targets ranked fourth among all wideouts. With more stability under center hopefully in 2024, the sky is the limit for Wilson.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer has found the end zone in two of his last three games. Last week, Palmer hauled in one of his two targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The rookie wideout was quiet in the game outside of his huge score. It's worth noting that Palmer has 40 receiving yards or more in three of his last four games. However, he's still the third option on this offense behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin (knee) who is currently on the injury report. If Godwin sits, Palmer would likely see a bigger role in the offense. Otherwise, Palmer will likely remain an afterthought as he only has three total receptions in his last two games.
