NYJ WR Garrett Wilson - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Denver Broncos
No doubt Garrett Wilson connected with QB Zach Wilson this past Sunday. He was targeted 14 times for nine receptions which produced 60 yards. The final production wasn't great, but the targets and receptions are encouraging for managers who drafted Wilson as a WR1 with Aaron Rodgers as the presumed quarterback.

Wilson faces Denver who is ranked 24th in aFPA to wide receivers. With the favorable matchup, we expect better fantasy numbers this week for him and the Jets.

Start Wilson as a high-end WR2 for Week 5. We will find out if he can repeat the performance from last week with better yardage and it looks encouraging this week.

NYJ WR Garrett Wilson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Garrett Wilson had a season-high nine targets, and it produced five receptions. The downside was it was for only 48 yards. That will be the Zach Wilson effect. Most managers drafted Wilson as a WR2 or even a WR1, but that will be tough each week.

Wilson faces the Chiefs who are ranked 6th in aFPA to wide receivers. He is still the No. 1 option in the passing game, but it will be hard to achieve good numbers without Aaron Rodgers and against a good defense.

Start Wilson for Week 4, but only as a WR3 or Flex. The targets will still go his way, but unless he can make a big play or two, he will struggle with his fantasy numbers.

NYJ WR Garrett Wilson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. New England Patriots
Garrett Wilson will continue to get the most attention in the Jets offense with Zach Wilson at quarterback. He was targeted eight times, but that only produced two receptions. He ended up with 83 yards but most of that came on a 68-yard TD reception.

Wilson came into the season as a fantasy WR1 with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, but of course that has changed. The Jets face the Patriots who are ranked 11th in aFPA to wide receivers. He had mixed results against New England last season with a 100+ yard receiving game and another with only two receptions.

The fact the Patriots have owned the Jets comes into play. Smith still has value because of the targets, but he only ranks as a high-end WR3 or Flex for Week 3.

NYJ WR Garrett Wilson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Dallas Cowboys
Garrett Wilson had one of the best touchdown receptions you will ever see, but it was overshadowed by the injury to QB Aaron Rodgers. Expect this to affect Wilson more than anyone and you saw that in his overall numbers which was five catches for 34 yards.

Wilson will still be the No. 1 target for QB Zach Wilson, but the production will not be as much as anticipated coming into the season. This week, he faces the Cowboys whose defense is one of the best in the NFL.

Start Wilson as a low-end WR2 for Week 2. Any chance of him jumping into WR1 territory probably went out the window for the season, but he still is capable of having big games, just not this week.

NYJ WR Garrett Wilson - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Buffalo Bills
There is little doubt that Garrett Wilson is the premier Jets wide receiver. He should be better with the upgrade at quarterback and could even end up being in that upper tier of wide receivers by the end of the season. The touchdown receptions should definitely jump from the four he had in 2022.

Wilson faces a tough Bills defense. He had 14 receptions in the two games against them last season for a combined 170 yards. So expect at least similar numbers on Monday night.

Start Wilson as a low-end WR1 for Week 1. The Bills are likely to focus on him and make one of the other receivers beat them so that could keep Wilson from having a huge night, but he still will be the main target.

NYJ WR Garrett Wilson - 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.

NYJ WR Garrett Wilson - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Seattle Seahawks
Garrett Wilson was targeted nine times for the second straight week and it produced four receptions for the second straight week. The issue was he only had 30 receiving yards with QB Zach Wilson at the helm. Good news is Mike White is back at quarterback this week.

Wilson faces the Seahawks who are ranked third in aFPA to wide receivers. Seattle has been very good against the pass and especially good at home.

Start Wilson as a high-end WR2 for Week 17. The return of White will help Wilson but the matchup is not a favorable one on the road for the Jets.
