Garrett Wilson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught six of his nine targets for 61 yards and added a two-point conversion in a 37-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7. Wilson and Davante Adams wound up both drawing nine targets in their first game together since the Jets acquired the latter in the trade from the Las Vegas Raiders last week. For fantasy managers with Wilson on their rosters, it was encouraging to see as there were some concerns the addition of Adams would cut into Wilson's production. Wilson now has 46 catches for 460 yards and three touchdowns through seven games this season. He will take on the New England Patriots in Week 8 in a rematch from Week 3 when he caught five passes for 33 yards and a touchdown.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, "a select group of NFL teams" have contacted the Jets regarding the availability of wide receiver Garrett Wilson. With New York recently acquiring Davante Adams, there are many who believe Wilson's days with the Jets are over. However, there hasn't been any indication suggesting the team would make a move, considering he's one of the league's most promising young receivers. Although Wilson was expected to have a breakout year in 2024-25, that hasn't happened. But in all fairness, he hasn't been horrible, amassing 41 catches for 399 yards and three touchdowns. It remains to be seen if Wilson and Adams can co-exist, so the situation is worth monitoring moving ahead. For now, the 24-year-old remains a must-start for Sunday Night's meeting with the Steelers.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson will face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in Week 7's Sunday night game. Wilson is coming off an extremely productive two-game stretch in which he has caught 21 of his 33 targets for 208 yards and two touchdowns. That being said, he faces increased competition for targets after the Jets added Davante Adams in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders earlier in the week. Adams, of course, was a longtime favorite target of Aaron Rodgers when the two played together with the Green Bay Packers. Wilson downgrades to more of a WR2 in fantasy moving forward as he will not be seeing the type of target volume he did in Weeks 5 and 6. The Steelers have also been tough on fantasy wideouts in 2024, allowing the 23rd-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Wilson should still be started in all leagues but fantasy managers should temper expectations.
