Latest takes
“Garrett Wilson , who goes right after him in drafts, plays 3 bottom-10 units in his first 4 games!”
Joe Harris· Aug 18“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.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 11“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
“Zay Flowers dominated Baltimore’s passing game in 2025 and remains Lamar Jackson’s most trusted target.”
Lawrence Iacona· Aug 19“Zay Flowers (WR – BAL) “ Zay Flowers is being drafted as WR17, which is a bit of a head scratcher considering he finished as WR12 in PPG for receivers that played more than half the year (WR14 if not).”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 11“Flowers posted 86 catches, 1,211 yards, and six total touchdowns last year despite playing for a team that threw the fewest passes in the league over the last three years.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10

“Zay Flowers (WR – BAL) is set up for touchdown regression in the best way. Every other receiver who topped 1,200 receiving yards last year scored at least eight touchdowns except him.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10“Zay Flowers is a popular target of the fantasy community due to his ability to separate from defenders, along with Declan Doyle’s new offense. Camp reports have been extremely positive, with a lot of talk that Flowers will be the absolute focal point of this Ravens’ passing game.”
Frank Ammirante· Aug 9“There’s a world where Zay Flowers has the talent to be a top-5 fantasy WR if he can ever score TDs.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 9“Isaiah Likely is gone, and I don’t think Ja’Kobi Lane or Elijah Sarratt provide the level of incentive to keep me off of drafting the guy who has been the other boundary target next to Zay Flowers for years now.”
Tony Martin· Jul 30“The Fantasy Hitman grabbed his beloved Zay Flowers to be his WR2.”
Kurt Mullen· Jul 29“The Ballers really like Zay Flowers , who will serve as the primary pre-snap chess piece operating from the Z-receiver spot. This alignment keeps him off the line of scrimmage to dodge press coverage while creating misdirection.”
Vernon Meighan· Jul 27“The Declan Doyle addition makes me more bullish on Flowers, who was the entire Ravens’ passing game last season.”
Jeff Krisko· Jul 23“Yet, Zay Flowers’ role as the clear-cut No. 1 option in the passing game remains unchallenged.”
Mike Fanelli· Jul 18“Zay Flowers (WR – BAL) My rank – WR19, 45th overall ADP – WR22, 60th overall The Zay Flowers propaganda is making its way around the Redraft streets, but it doesn’t appear the dynasty community is quite as bullish. Well, I’m buying the hype on Flowers.”
Jim Moorman· Jul 17“Flowers is just as electric as she was billed coming out of college. He's been Lamar Jackson's No. 1 receiver since the day he was drafted, and at times he's been Jackson's only noteworthy receiver.”
Ethan Woodie· Jul 11“With DeAndre Hopkins and Isaiah Likely gone, the passing volume may be further consolidated in Flowers' favor. Valued as the WR18 in ECR, Flowers should be in line to smash his ADP if he can simply post a league-average touchdown rate.”
Jim Moorman· Jul 10“Flowers finished as the WR4 overall in route participation in 2025, rocking an impressive 29% target share. In terms of efficiency, Flowers finished 12th or better at the position in yards per route run (YPRR), yards per target and yards per team pass attempt last year.”
