WR Garrett Wilson, NYJ (1 Viewer)

[Faust]

Dane Brugler @dpbrugler
It's refreshing when the best WR in the draft is also the top rookie WR.

Two 2022 stats that really stand out w/ Garrett Wilson:

- Only 2 drops on 139 targets (w/ 3 different QBs)
- 22 forced missed tackles (No. 2 among all NFL WRs behind Deebo)

Garrett Wilson has been named the Associated Press’ Offensive Rookie of the Year.​

Not only did Wilson tally 61 more yards receiving than any other rookie, he did so with a revolving cast under that included journeyman Joe Flacco and failed second-year pro Zach Wilson. Wilson’s stats would have been far more impressive with 17 games of even competent quarterback play. Truly dangerous deep, Wilson has already proven himself as a target commander of every level of the field. He profiles as a 2023 WR1 even with the Jets’ quarterback uncertainty.

So, I was asked what I would want for Garrett Wilson. This is what I'm thinking of telling him for starters. Wanting a sanity check, you know, am I risking too much by getting multiple smaller pieces in return for a big piece, or am I even asking too much? 12 team, 20 man, PPR, QRRWWFKD (RB tend to be at a premium).

I give: Garrett Wilson, Kenny Pickett, Alec Pierce (mostly a throw-in so that I don't have too many players)

I get: Justin Herbert, Miles Sanders, Isaiah Pacheco, 2.08, 2.10
(picks after the mid-2nd round tend to be held rather loosely in this league)

I feel like boths issues listed above are true. Asking too much, AND risking too much, given that I'm trying to win now.

Currently I have:
Jalen Hurts, Kenny Pickett

1.01 (Bijan Robinson), Etienne, D'Andre Swift, (plus 1.08 and 1.09, likely either RB/RB or RB/WR)

AJ Brown, CeeDee Lamb, Garrett Wilson, Chris Godwin, Jameson Williams, Rashod Bateman, Elijah Moore, (2.01 would likely add a WR prospect, and maybe a lower one at 2.10 if the trade occured)

I still have fairly good WR depth without Wilson, though only Brown, Lamb, and Godwin are guys I can more or less count on to be solid. And adding those two RB would feel really nice, not to mention a real backup QB instead of Pickett. It's just the ridiculous ceiling for Wilson that makes me hesitate to put that out there.

Keeptradecut says I'm giving up 17,500 for 21,700. However, KTC grossly overvalues top QBs like Herbert.

As long as you read the league format and the trade, anything else is extra credit

 

[mcd]

I wouldn't do it either. My initial thought was you really needed a QB, but upon further reading, you already have Hurts.

Hurts' playing style scares me (see 2022 fantasy playoffs), so I am definitely pursuing better backups than Pickett. But not looking to make my team worse overall for it.

 

[Rockchild]

I see no reason to move Wilson for that package especially in the off-season. You're team looks good as is especially with your draft picks.

Other than Herbert, none of the other pieces intrigue me enough to even consider moving Wilson. I don't like that you have to add Pierce to the deal either.

I can't dump Pierce for anything honestly. I always like to try to package a couple prospects or middlers (usually WR) and try to get back the highest single pick I can get. Just yesterday I was offering Alec Pierce and Hunter Renfrow to move the 3.10 up. I started by offering those three assets for the 2.03, then went down the list as people rejected. Went as low as 2.08, all rejected. This league just hates WR unless they're stars.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I'm going to assume the Jets upgrade at QB, so this would not be a good time to get rid of him.

I don't see any reason to make that move from your end. You've got a solid team with solid depth. Pickett is a good enough backup QB, and I hate the idea of trading an every week starter like Wilson for non every week starters.

 

[eighsse2]

Thanks for talking me off the trade altogether, guys. Seems like a good call.

But if Wilson tears his ACL in training camp, I want all the advisor fees back.

If he tears his ACl, I still wouldnt even like the trade for you, lol. It would just be "ok"

 

[IHEARTFF]

If you trade Wilson you should be getting a RB1

 

[eighsse2]

If you trade Wilson you should be getting a RB1

Between Sanders and Pacheco you don't think there's solid potential for a RB1? Pacheco might be a longer shot, he was RB24, but he looks good and the second half of the season was the vast mojority of his work. Sanders was RB12 overall and still on the younger side (edit: not really younger side, just not "old" yet)... also where will he end up?

I’d rather have Pacheco than Sanders but he’s probably a rb2 if he retains the lead role. Wilson should be getting you a surefire rb1 coming back not a hopeful 2/maybe 1 if everything breaks right.

What's not to like about Sanders? Doesn't do a lot on the receiving side, but he's averaged 5.2 yards per carry over the last three years combined (560 attempt sample size). Who else does that? Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to convince you of anything, I just wonder why you wouldn't consider him a likely RB1. Granted, you did say, surefire RB1, not likely. So I'll give you that, he's definitely not surefire.

If you feel that way about Sanders then great, go trade for him.
Just don't use Wilson to do it

 

[Amused to Death]

One thing that would worry me is he's a free agent and you don't know where he'll end up. Its very unlikely he returns to the Eagles.

Sanders did play behind a great offensive line, and the easiest schedule in the history of all professional sports this year fwiw, numbers might not translate to the next team.

With that said, yeah, definitely don't like this trade thought. Keep Wilson unless you are really blown away, that guy put up WR1 numbers with bums at QB

Aaron Rodgers trade fallout: Winners/losers from blockbuster QB deal between Packers and Jets

Excerpt:

Garrett Wilson: The Jets' wideout won Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2022 despite having one of the worst quarterback situations in the NFL. Rodgers can be hard on receivers, but Wilson's job is about to get a lot better.

 

[BobbyLayne]

8 non-Zach starts: 91 targets, 47-656-4
9 Zach Wilson GS: 56 targets, 36-447-0

No wonder he switched his social media avatar to Aaron Rodgers Cal picture 5 minutes after the trade went down.

 

[King of the Jungle]

It is hard not to love Wilson as a player and what he did last year given the circumstances. However, I have to wonder if he is in for as much of a production boost as it appears with the upgrade in QB. A good defense, sound running game, and Rodgers right-hand man Lazard…could we be over excited? We all know how Rodgers like to lean on familiarity and has no patience for mistakes from young players. I think Wilson is talented enough to overcome these potential obstacles, however I am not sure he shows elite production this year like some are anticipating.

I understand the point you are making here and do agree that it is easy to overestimate the boost he will be getting...that being said he is going from Zack Wilson/Mike White to Aaron Rodgers so if you are a Wilson Owner (and I am not but wish I was) you have to be ecstatic about this and have to be pretty confident that between his immense talent and the QB upgrade a top 10 season is very realistic.

I agree, on paper it is a HUGE upgrade. My point is probably over anxious, but I also think there are some factors that may not help Wilson achieve a large increase in production. Throw in the fact that Rodgers is at the teetering point in age and I may be a little more cautious than the majority. Having said that I wished I rostered Wilson as well as I think he will be a top five fixture at some point.

Don’t disagree but at the end of the day Aaron Rodgers using a Walker at age 70 would be an upgrade over what they had last year.

I traded for Wilson in both of my dynasty leagues in the last 6 months. I overpaid during the season in one (basically D adams and miles sanders for Wilson) and probably fair value in the other, SF (Antonio Pierce and next year’s 1st).
I share your concerns but would have a hard time trading him. I think the only fairly simple trades I’d consider would be him plus something I can afford to give for Chase or Jefferson; or get something of value plus Metcalf or lamb. Maybe straight for AJ brown.

Great cashout on Adams to acquire Wilson. I tried buying early last season but the owner was one if they drafted them they will not let them go. I would rather have Wilson over Brown in dynasty but I see see both sides.

That's where I am too.

I like Wilson a lot, and obviously getting Rodgers helps, but I'm not suddenly going to be valuing him over guys like AJ Brown or other proven top guys, who are in equally good situations.

I probably have Wilson in the WR10-15 range. Low-end WR1 is very reasonable, but I'm guessing every league I'm in, someone will like him more than I do.

Highlight | Aaron Rodgers to Garrett Wilson During Offseason Workouts

 

[Drake Hater]

I'm won't be surprised to see Wilson ratchet up in mock drafts this off season. The hype of these 2 clicking will have this guy inside the WR top 10 range.

And honestly I'll probably buy that, especially if the schedule reveals some friendly matchups. Wilson produced last year with a worse QB stable and an injured Hall. The guy is a gamer.

“I love Garrett Wilson. He’s got all the talent in the building. You need your best players to be the best people on your team, he’s definitely one of them. At least one time in practice he does something where you say WOW.”- Aaron Rodgers

With Miami owning sports world, will Dolphins live up to hype? Plus, Garrett Wilson's superstar potential

Excerpt:

Wilson + Rodgers = Top-five wide receiver​

We're still a few months away from the height of fantasy football drafting, but I have a statement that could be of interest to you fantasy fiends out there:
Don't be surprised if Garrett Wilson establishes himself as a top-five receiver in Year 2.
That's right. With Aaron Rodgers' joining the New York Jets, the 2022 Offensive Rookie of the Year very well could be on the verge of superstardom. Gang Green's offense has explosive potential, and Wilson is poised to become Rodgers' new target of choice. I see him making the same type of leap that we saw last season from another pedigreed player at the position.
At this time last year, I was telling everyone within earshot that CeeDee Lamb was about to emerge as a top-five wide receiver. In fact, I expressed that very feeling in this space. And despite an injury-abbreviated, underwhelming season from Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott, Lamb still finished fourth among NFL receivers in catches (107), sixth in yards (1,359), tied for fourth in touchdowns (nine) and tied for third in catches of 20-plus yards (24). This placed him squarely in top-five territory -- and if Prescott returns to Pro Bowl-caliber form in 2023, Lamb could throw his hat in the ring for the No. 1 spot.
Wilson made quite an impact in Year 1, leading all rookies with 83 catches and 1,103 receiving yards while also scoring four touchdowns. Impressive numbers for a rookie, no doubt, but they're all the more striking when you consider the 2022 Jets' quarterback situation. New York cycled through a ragtag quartet of passers, with Zach Wilson, Joe Flacco, Mike White and Chris Streveler all logging starts. In 2023, Wilson will be catching passes from a four-time MVP.

The 2022 NFL Draft's No. 10 overall pick has immense potential as the focal point of an offense. Although he checks in at a hair under 6 feet tall (and 192 pounds), Wilson is a spectacular route runner with excellent stop-start quickness, balance and body control. Consequently, he has no problem creating separation against elite corners on the perimeter. And his underrated speed (4.38 40-yard dash at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine) enables him to stretch the field as a vertical playmaker on an assortment of go routes, deep overs and posts against one-on-one coverage.

It's a collection of skills that reminds Rodgers of a certain six-time Pro Bowler who spent eight years catching balls from No. 12: Davante Adams.

"Obviously Garrett, you know, he's a talented guy," Rodgers said last month on The Pat McAfee Show. "I threw him a pass today and just kind of turned and was like, 'Wow.' His ability to kind of get in and out of his breaks ... there's another [No.] 17 I played with for a long time who does it better than anybody. The explosiveness in and out of breaks, the 17 here, is pretty similar."
High praise -- and it's not hyperbole. Wilson has flashed enough blue-chip potential to warrant consideration as a truly elite playmaker. With a gigantic upgrade at the quarterback position, Wilson is set to take a big leap forward in 2023. And seeing how he already produced at an award-winning level as a rookie, fantasy footballers should definitely view him as a high-end WR1. The 22-year-old has take-over-the-game potential -- and he could take a spot among the top five receivers.

NFL bandwagons to hop on in 2023: Atlanta Falcons, Garrett Wilson, DeMeco Ryans among stocks to buy

In 2022, he was the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year. In 2023, I won't be surprised if he enters the All-Pro conversation.

Yep, I'm that bullish. Why? Well, the guy just racked up 83 grabs for 1,103 yards and four touchdowns with a rotating cast of underwhelming quarterbacks. Now he's catching passes from a four-time MVP.

Talking to Aaron Rodgers in a wide-ranging interview on my SiriusXM Radio show, "Schein on Sports," the new Jets quarterback raved about Wilson's ability. But he also lauded the second-year pro's character and football IQ. Rodgers compared those latter elements of Wilson's game to those of four of his favorite receivers: Davante Adams, Jordy Nelson, James Jones and Randall Cobb.

Take note, fantasy fiends: Wilson's gonna put up numbers.
