Who Should I Start? Tyler Johnson or Johnny Wilson

New York Jets wide receiver Tyler Johnson is a healthy inactive for the Week 4 divisional contest on Monday Night Football, according to Susanna Weir of NewYorkJets.com. Johnson will head to the bench with Josh Reynolds returning from a hamstring injury that kept him out in Weeks 2 and 3. It's not as if Johnson took advantage of Reynolds' absence, as he caught only two passes on four targets for 32 yards and no touchdowns in two games. He didn't even catch a pass on one target in the Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Reynolds will return as receiver depth alongside Allen Lazard, Arian Smith, and Isaiah Williams for the Jets behind clear No. 1 Garrett Wilson. For fantasy purposes, nobody besides Wilson is startable on a weekly basis among the Jets' receivers. Johnson has only four receptions for 63 yards and no scores in three games so far in 2025.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Johnny Wilson (knee, ankle) will undergo surgery on his knee and ankle and miss the entire 2025 season, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Wilson suffered the injuries in practice on Tuesday. The 24-year-old was selected in the sixth round by the Eagles in 2024 and appeared in 16 games as a rookie, recording five catches. Wilson was expected to play a larger role on offense in his second season, but that will now have to wait until 2026. Philadelphia acquired wide receiver John Metchie III from the Houston Texans earlier this week, and Metchie III looks like the favorite to take Wilson's role as the team's WR4.
