Latest takes
“Jason started addressing his WR room with his third pick, taking Garrett Wilson. After taking a pair of RBs to start the draft, Jason debated between a few WRs here, but ultimately stuck with his rankings and went with Wilson over Tetairoa McMillan and Devonta Smith.”
Kurt Mullen· Aug 14“Garrett Wilson’s supporters will kindly point out that even in a horrible situation last season, he was able to produce at an incredibly high clip before eventually succumbing to a knee injury after Week 6. Fair point, but a deep dive into why he was producing is troubling.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 14“Honorable mention: DeVonta Smith and Luther Burden .” – Mark Ringo ( Sleepers and Busts ) Garrett Wilson (WR – NYJ) “ Garrett Wilson is an elite talent stuck on a team lacking elite quarterback play.”

“Garrett Wilson will easily lead the Jets in targets if he stays healthy.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 10“Add in the fact that Wilson has more competition than ever — first-round tight end Kenyon Saddiq, first-round receiver Omar Cooper Jr., and Adonai Mitchell, who the team acquired last year in the Sauce Gardner deal — and I’m just feeling faded by the Jets’ leading wideout.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 7“30 overall, giving him strong enough draft capital to matter, yet a crowded offense with Garrett Wilson, Kenyon Sadiq, and Breece Hall points more toward a complementary early role than instant target dominance.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 30“Meanwhile, Jason’s love for Geno Smith in New York could not be overcome, and got him to pick Garrett Wilson .”
Kurt Mullen· Jul 29“Gamers are still operating with one foot in and the other out on Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson, but the upside potential is still on the table.”
Rich Hribar· Jul 23“Although the Jets’ offense is looking more crowded, it still has only one truly established NFL pass-catcher in Garrett Wilson .”
Ted Chmyz· Jul 22“On Garrett Wilson specifically, sentiment has shifted meaningfully. A year ago, ranking a rookie profile like Tate’s anywhere near Wilson would have been unthinkable. Now Wilson is entering the presumed prime of his career, turning 26 later this summer, and still hasn’t played with a clearly competent starting quarterback.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 18“Jason is really into Garrett Wilson, having him as his WR12 while his ADP has him at WR17!”
Colt Williams· Jul 13“Garrett Wilson's 395 receiving yards led the Jets despite playing only seven games. Better health from Wilson will give the team their top weapon in scoring territory.”
Josh Shepardson· Jul 1“The biggest red flag of all is all the weapons around Wilson, which he'll be fighting for targets. The Jets added great pieces to the offense, which is good for the team but not for Wilson's fantasy prospects.”
Michael Moore· Jun 24“The knee is the first landmine, as it was significant enough last season that Wilson missed more than half the season. Wilson is practicing this offseason, but the sprain was the first significant injury of his career, and it remains to be seen how he'll bounce back.”
Michael Moore· Jun 24“Garrett Wilson finished the 2022 rookie class with 215.7 PPR points, one of the few rookies in recent years to surpass the 215-PPR-point threshold.”

“RB expected to be sidelined at least one week HC Matt LaFleur on Josh Jacobs : "He's gonna be out for at least this week." ( Packers.com - Wes Hodkiewicz ) FF Today's Take: Jacobs reportedly injured his groin on Monday or Tuesday.”
FFToday· Aug 12“If healthy, Jacobs has a top-5 fantasy ceiling. But as the 28-year-old continues to pile up volume and small injuries, fantasy managers should be wary of the production tapering off.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 11“Josh Jacobs (RB – GB) Going as the RB14, 21st overall, Jacobs is projected for 289 carries, 1,161 rushing yards, and 12 rushing touchdowns, plus another 36 catches and roughly one receiving touchdown. Health was the story that took some shine off last season, as a knee bruise and thigh injury limited him over the second half.”

“Josh Jacobs was involved in an offseason domestic incident that is reportedly still under investigation, though no charges have been filed.”
Curtis Hirsch· Aug 5“Round 6: Josh Jacobs (RB – GB) I’m a bit skeptical of Josh Jacobs because of his off-the-field issues, but if he’s on the field, he’ll get plenty of carries and catch around 40 passes.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 5“1 | Diff: +5 Josh Jacobs has been the RB8 and RB9 in fantasy points per game during his two seasons in Green Bay.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 5“31 10 21 James Cook 13 5 8 Josh Jacobs 7 15 -8 Saquon Barkley 2 13 -11 Bucky Irving 10 33 -23 In past years, so many top RBs have gotten hurt that the Zero (or hero) RB draft strategies have become popular.”
Jordan Pullett· Jul 29“Running Back For the RB1 cutoff, one analyst goes as deep as Josh Jacobs around RB15, while the other draws the line one tier earlier at Derrick Henry.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 25“Josh Jacobs (RB – GB) Josh Jacobs finds himself in a similar situation to Saquon Barkley, but for very different reasons. Unlike Barkley, who has a new offensive coordinator and is on a team primed to bounce back from top to bottom, Jacobs finds himself in a very similar situation to last season.”
Ellis Johnson· Jul 17“The swift decline in Josh Jacobs' market value has everything to do with the legal cloud hanging over him. He was arrested in late May on domestic violence allegations. While he was later released, prosecutors say the investigation is still ongoing.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Jun 24“With starting running back Josh Jacobs entering his age-28 stride, and also being the alleged perpetrator of domestic violence, Lloyd may finally get a shot to play meaningful snaps for the Packers.”
Edward DeLauter· Jun 23“Josh Jacobs might be the biggest value in early fantasy football drafts. Despite finishing as a productive fantasy back last season, Jacobs is currently being drafted outside the top 12 running backs in many formats. The case is simple: Green Bay trusts Jacobs near the goal line, he remains heavily involved as an early-down runner, and his receiving floor is underrated.”
FantasyPros Staff· May 10“Josh Jacobs at 299 [college touches] is one of only two other backs who had fewer than 400 college touches and were first-round picks.”
Rich Hribar· Apr 24“Josh Jacobs' legal situation makes things a bit cloudy for the upcoming season, but it's never a bad thing to stockpile running backs.”
Kurt Blakeway· Jul 10“Jacobs will be subject to the league's personal conduct policy and will likely face a suspension ahead of the 2026 season, pending the league's internal investigation.”
Jonathan Comeaux· May 26
