Garrett Wilson vs Rashee Rice

“Garrett Wilson , who goes right after him in drafts, plays 3 bottom-10 units in his first 4 games!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Meanwhile, Jason’s love for Geno Smith in New York could not be overcome, and got him to pick Garrett Wilson .”

“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.”

“Although the Jets’ offense is looking more crowded, it still has only one truly established NFL pass-catcher in Garrett Wilson .”

“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.”

“Jason is really into Garrett Wilson, having him as his WR12 while his ADP has him at WR17!”

“Rice has commanded targets every time the Chiefs have given him a full-time role. Season Period Target Share 2023 Final 10 games with full-time snaps, including playoffs 24% 2024 Three complete games 31.5% 2025 Eight games 26.5%”

“In eight games last season, Rice recorded: 78 targets 53 receptions 571 receiving yards Five receiving TDs 20 rushing yards One rushing TD That comes out to 9.8 targets and 15.5 half-PPR points per game.”

“It’s easy to understand the appeal of Rashee Rice in fantasy football. Over the last two years, he’s averaged 6.”

“Even though Travis Kelce is getting older and this is his final season, he should still see a fair number of targets behind Rashee Rice .”

“Round 10: Travis Kelce (TE – KC) Behind Rashee Rice, the next target will likely still be Travis Kelce, even though he’s probably entering his final NFL season.”

“Round 2: Rashee Rice (WR – KC) Rashee Rice is certainly a bit risky with his off-field issues, including serving time in jail earlier this offseason, but when he was on the field last season, he had a staggering 37.”

“With Xavier Worthy already dealing with a shoulder issue, and Rashee Rice only running in straight lines, Kelce will be a consistent part of this offense each week.”

“He had a late-sixth-round ADP, and I got him cheaper than that in a couple of home leagues. Now, Rice has an ADP of WR12 (30th overall). I’m fleeing at that price.”

“Rashee Rice (WR – KC) Going as the WR11, 29th overall, the projections have Rice at 99 catches, 1,099 yards, and 9.7 touchdowns, which would rank him ahead of several more established names.”

“press Only four wide receivers posted a higher PPG than Rashee Rice (currently valued outside top 10 WRs in redraft and top 20 in dynasty) last season:”

“Rashee Rice (WR – KC) Taking Rashee Rice here as my WR2 is much more comfortable than relying on him as my WR1”

“Furthermore, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy have dealt with injuries in their careers, putting Allen one injury away from a starting role in a Patrick Mahomes-led offense”
