Fantasy Upside
The stock for Garrett Wilson and every other Jets skill player went up as soon as Aaron Rodgers was traded to New York. Wilson eased his way into the No. 1 role last season and proved to be one of the best rookie wide receivers in the league. Now with the quarterback position upgraded, Wilson can build on those rookie numbers that saw him catch 83 passes for 1,103 yards.
Fantasy Downside
The league knows about Wilson now so there will be more attention on him. The Jets also brought in four veteran receivers that will be in Rodgers' progressions including two former Packers. Wilson has the talent but experienced receivers around him could cut into his production.
2023 Bottom Line
Wilson is clearly the No. 1 receiver for the Jets, but we don't expect him to have a big jump in his numbers. They should be similar which makes him a viable low-end WR1 for 2023. He is ranked the No. 11 receiver this preseason and is going in the second round. If you go running back in the first round, he can be your No. 1 receiver as a second-round pick.
