The final preview of our Fantasy Consigliere 2024 Fantasy Football draft guide comes at wide receiver, with the ranking, projection, and outlook for Garrett Wilson.

 

10. Garrett Wilson, NYJ

2023 statistics: 95 REC, 1,042 YDS, 3 TD | 4 ATT, 0 YDS

2024 projections: 97 REC, 1,193 YDS, 8 TD

 

Many will have Wilson higher than this, and that’s understandable as the No. 1 wideout in an Aaron Rodgers-led offense—which has meant huge numbers throughout the four-time NFL MVP’s career. The hype might be slightly too high, though, as Wilson has averaged just 6.8 yards per target while banking on heavy looks since entering the league, and now the Jets will have more weapons with Mike Williams and rookie Malachi Corley joining the team (not to mention the possibility of Allen Lazard reemerging with Rodgers under center). The quarterback play and overall ineptitude of the offense needs to be factored in, but it’s also worth noting that touchdowns haven’t been a huge part of Wilson’s game with seven scores through two seasons, and Williams could be getting a lot of the one-on-one opportunities in scoring territory to cap the ceiling of his young teammate. With matchups versus Charvarius Ward (who has already started the trash talk) in Week 1, L’Jarius Sneed in Week 2, and Patrick Surtain II in Week 4, Wilson’s case for mid-range WR1 value will be tested early.
