New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson was enjoying an impressive start to the 2025 campaign before suffering a knee injury. Over his first five games, Wilson would total more than 19.0 PPR points in all but one before suffering this injury in Week 6. While Wilson would return to action in Week 10, the former first-round pick would then face a setback and not suit up for the remainder of the campaign. During his first six games (removing his Week 10 showing), Wilson continued to operate as the clear WR1 in a weak Jets passing attack, drawing 9.3 targets per game. Throughout most of his time in New York, Wilson has served as the undisputed WR1, which has provided him a high floor in fantasy, even though he has typically had subpar play under center. While the QB situation once again has questions in 2026 with veteran Geno Smith slated to take over after posting a rough 19:17 TD:INT with just 3,025 yards over 15 games with the Raiders last season, Wilson faces far more target competition than he did last fall. In the 2026 NFL Draft, the Jets added two premier pass catchers in the opening round, selecting top tight end Kenyon Sadiq and wideout Omar Cooper Jr. Additionally, the team's current WR2, Adonai Mitchell, a former first-round talent, showed promise down the stretch in 2025, seeing 8.6 targets per game and tallying 52.0 yards per game over his last five contests. While Wilson should remain the top option in this offense, Smith's underwhelming QB play and added target competition could limit his upside in 2026. Currently, the former Ohio State Buckeye is going off the board on Sleeper PPR drafts as the WR16 (37.0 ADP), which makes him a high-floor WR2 with limited upside given that the New York passing offense looks far more balanced than it has in years past.less...
