Should I Start Garrett Wilson?

Thursday, May 28, 11:38 AM

After a season-ending knee injury suffered in 2025, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) is back on the field for OTA practices this week, according to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. The injury bug finally bit Wilson in his fourth year in the NFL, limiting him to seven starts and 36 receptions for 395 yards and four touchdowns on 59 targets last year. The 25-year-old briefly returned in Week 10 against the Cleveland Browns, only to sprain the same knee after 19 offensive snaps. He was shut down for the rest of the way after that. The former 10th overall pick in 2022 out of Ohio State has the skills to rebound as the Jets' top wideout, but can he really do it with veteran quarterback Geno Smith, who was terrible in 2025 in Vegas, leading the offense? Wilson could also have more target competition after the addition of rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq and rookie wideout Omar Cooper Jr. He will at least come at a discounted price on draft day, with RotoBaller ranking Wilson as the WR17 overall going into his fifth year in the NFL.
