Garrett Wilson: 2026 Fantasy Outlook
Our board sits close to the market on Garrett Wilson, which usually means the price is fair and the pick comes down to what else is on the board when your turn arrives.
Where the market has him
Our published board has him at 38, effectively level with the market. Across 16 ranking sources the spread is 5.3 places — reasonably close.
Our board recommends him around round 4. The replacement-level wide receiver we measure him against is Christian Watson, which is the honest comparison: the question is never whether he is good, it is how much better he is than the player you could have instead.
The track record
Across 4 drafted seasons in our sample, Garrett Wilson finished at or above his positional draft price 1 time. He returned a severe bust in 1 of them. He played 13 games or fewer in 1 of those seasons — the availability line that separates hits from disasters more sharply than price does.
| Season | Drafted as | Finished | PPG | Games | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | WR17 | WR62 | 14.2 | 7 | Severe bust |
| 2024 | WR7 | WR10 | 14.8 | 17 | — |
| 2023 | WR9 | WR26 | 12.5 | 17 | — |
| 2022 | WR50 | WR21 | 12.7 | 17 | — |
Positional draft rank against final positional finish on PPR total points. A severe bust is a finish outside the top 60 FLEX scorers.
Risk and upside
Our model tiers him low for risk and moderate for upside. Across the 2026 board those two scores are essentially uncorrelated, so a low-risk label is not a low-ceiling label.
Why the model says low risk: Low risk profile: weekly/market volatility (72.4) with market disagreement (34.8) as the secondary driver.
