Garrett Wilson

Garrett Wilson enters the 2025 fantasy football season as one of the most reliable wide receivers in the league, poised for another strong campaign. Despite the challenges he faced with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback in 2024, Wilson still managed to finish top five in receptions among all receivers, showcasing his consistent volume and target share. This season, Wilson reunites with Justin Fields, his former Ohio State quarterback, which should help reestablish a familiar and productive connection on the field. The new coaching staff under head coach Aaron Glenn is expected to continue a run-heavy offensive approach, which might cap Wilson’s ceiling but ensures that his target volume remains high, solidifying his value as a safe WR1 option in fantasy leagues.

Wilson’s health profile remains very encouraging heading into 2025. Over his NFL career, he has been remarkably durable, suffering only minor bruises and sprains, with no significant injuries to date. This low injury risk makes him a dependable asset to count on week to week. His ability to consistently get on the field and maintain a high snap share and route participation further underlines his reliability. Fantasy managers can enter the 2025 season confident that Wilson will be available to fulfill the large role expected of him in the Jets’ offense.

The Jets have undergone substantial personnel and coaching changes that directly impact Wilson’s fantasy outlook. With Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams both gone, Wilson is now the clear No. 1 receiving option. The arrival of Justin Fields at quarterback reconnects a proven rapport from their college days. Additionally, the Jets added offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, who specializes in passing games, and focused on bolstering the offensive line through the 2025 draft. These improvements signal a strengthening offensive environment, which should translate into increased opportunities for Wilson to shine despite the overall run-oriented game plan.

From a fantasy perspective, Wilson’s target share will be key. Historically, he has commanded at least 25% of his team’s targets each season, an impressive mark that few achieve. With a thin supporting cast around him—veterans and lower-tier receivers unlikely to challenge for volume—Wilson could push his target share even higher, potentially exceeding 30%. This dominance in target share combined with his rapport with Fields positions him well to finish among the top fantasy wide receivers in 2025. While his touchdown upside may be limited in a run-first offense, Wilson’s consistent receptions and yards make him a foundational WR1 choice for fantasy lineups.
