Garrett Wilson's fantasy outlook for 2026 raises concerns for managers

Summary

Garrett Wilson, a wide receiver for the New York Jets, is facing scrutiny as fantasy football managers evaluate his 2026 prospects. After three seasons of subpar performances, including only one year averaging over 14 fantasy points per game, concerns persist about his role in a struggling Jets offense. Wilson's average draft position remains high, reflecting expectations that may be unrealistic given his production history. With Geno Smith projected as the starting quarterback, managers are questioning Wilson's potential for a breakout year despite his talent. The current fantasy suggests managers may need to reconsider investing heavily in him.
