• Jets' Garrett Wilson: Set to be WR1 for team's new QB

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Wilson is set to operate as the top wide receiver in 2025 for new Jets quarterback Justin Fields, with whom the team agreed to a two-year, $40 million contract, per Dianna Russini and Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. In addition to signing Fields, the Jets have parted ways with Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams, the latter of whom cut into Wilson's target share significantly after being acquired in a midseason trade with Vegas last season. The mobile Fields isn't considered a particularly proficient passer, but the biggest knock on him has been his failure to get off his first read, and Wilson figures to be that top read frequently in a Jets offense that could still bolster its receiving corps via free agency or the draft but currently lacks a clear starter opposite Wilson. Case in point, D.J. Moore set career highs in both receiving yards (1,364) and receiving touchdowns (eight) with Fields at quarterback for the Bears in 2023. Wilson also has some established familiarity with Fields from their college days, as they were teammates at Ohio State in 2019 and 2020, though Wilson's most productive college season came in 2021 with C.J. Stroud under center.

• Jets' Garrett Wilson: Quietly posts career year

  01/06/2025 • By RotoWire

  Wilson caught four of five targets for 51 yards and rushed once for no gain in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes the 2024 season with 101 catches for 1,104 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on 154 targets. Wilson didn't account for any of Aaron Rodgers' four touchdown passes, but the third of their four connections accounted for Wilson's 100th catch of the season. In addition to setting a new career high in receptions, Wilson exceeded his previous career high by one receiving yard. Wilson's seven receiving scores matched his combined total from 2022 and 2023, so Wilson made incremental improvements despite the Jets' inconsistency on offense. The 2022 first-round draft pick remains under contract with the Jets for 2025.

• Jets' Garrett Wilson: Catches late TD from Taylor

  12/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Wilson caught seven of eight targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills. Wilson accounted for 42 of Aaron Rodgers' 66 first-half passing yards as the Jets continued to struggle on offense. The wideout lost a fumble in the third quarter but rebounded in the fourth, helping the Jets avoid a shutout loss by catching a nine-yard touchdown pass from Tyrod Taylor with 6:59 remaining. Having already surpassed 1,000 yards for the third time in as many seasons, Wilson will have a chance to set a new career high in receiving yards against the Dolphins, as he needs 50 to match his rookie total of 1,103.

• Jets' Garrett Wilson: Well behind Adams again

  12/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  Wilson caught six of seven targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams. Wilson was limited to just one catch for 15 yards in the first half while Davante Adams led the team with five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown. The script flipped to a degree after halftime, as Wilson out-gained Adams, 39-16. Wilson has been the No. 2 option in the passing game rather than the co-No. 1 in recent weeks, so he'll be a less trustworthy fantasy option than Adams in Week 17 against the Bills.

• Jets' Garrett Wilson: Plays second fiddle after early TD

  12/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Wilson caught three of six targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars. Wilson had a 19-yard catch followed by a 22-yard touchdown reception on consecutive plays on the Jets' first drive. His next catch didn't come until less than 10 minutes remained in the fourth quarter, but Wilson set up a third-quarter field goal in between by drawing a 30-yard pass-interference penalty. Wilson took a back seat to Davante Adams, who had nine catches for 198 yards and two touchdowns, all in the second half. With Aaron Rodgers enjoying a resurgence down the stretch, at least statistically, Wilson and Adams have coexisted effectively, so both wide receivers will be high-end fantasy options in Week 16 against the Rams.
