Efficient WR1 every week
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR62 last season at 14.2 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR7 at 19.1 PPR points per game, against 14.2 over 7 games last season (WR62). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 54th of 142 in target volume (12.5% target share), 60th of 142 in downfield role (15.7% air-yards share) and 28th of 142 in efficiency (2.03 yards per route run). His points come from his efficiency. Downfield role is the soft spot. Geno Smith is his quarterback.
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
A knee injury wrecked Wilson's 2025 after just seven games, but the underlying usage stayed elite while he played: 12.5% target share looks soft until you see he ran routes on barely a third of snaps, yet still drew 0.303 targets per route. The healthy version is the 2024 monster who posted a 26% target share, 0.624 WOPR, 101 grabs for 1,104 yards and a 52.3% success rate at +0.142 EPA per play. He has anchored this passing game for three years running, and three straight seasons north of 150 targets when on the field tells the real story.
The context finally improves. Geno Smith and Frank Reich replace a broken quarterback room, and Wilson remains the clear first read despite added complementary weapons. He's a strong WR2 with WR1 ceiling around an early-Round-4 ADP. Buy the volume; the floor and the upside both point up.
What Drives His Outlook

Garrett Wilson Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Garrett Wilson's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
Garrett Wilson projects as an efficient WR1 every week for the rest of the 2026 season: a weekly starter in 12-team PPR, 10-team PPR and half-PPR leagues. His efficiency (2.03 yards per route run, 28th of 142 WRs in 2025) supports that. His downfield role (15.7% air-yards share, 60th of 142 WRs in 2025) holds him back.

What could hurt Garrett Wilson's fantasy value?
