3 weeks agoThe Athletic's Dianna Russini and Zack Rosenblatt write that New York Jets wide receiver
Garrett Wilson will be the no-doubt No. 1 target in this offense in 2025 and should have a big season as he reunites with quarterback
Justin Fields, who he played with in college at Ohio State. As a freshman for the Buckeyes in 2020 with Fields at QB, Wilson caught 50 passes for 729 yards and seven touchdowns. Fields' ability to run the football should make life easier on running back
Breece Hall. Not only does Wilson have prior history and chemistry with Fields, but the primary thing that will make Wilson's fantasy ceiling higher in 2025 is the fact that receiver
Davante Adams is out of town. Fields can definitely stand to improve as a passer, but even if he doesn't, Wilson should eat and be a surefire WR1 target in fantasy drafts this fall.

Garrett Wilson is willing to discuss signing a long-term contract extension, according to The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt. Wilson is expected to push for top-10 receiver-type money, which would mean something in the range of $26-30 million per year. While Wilson was one of the first calls that new head coach Aaron Glenn made when he got the job, the Jets won't be in a rush to sign him to a new deal. The 24-year-old is under team control for 2025 and will make $16.82 million on his fifth-year team option in 2026. After that, the franchise tag would be in play in 2027 if they can't come to an agreement on an extension. Wilson wasn't a fan of quarterback
Aaron Rodgers, especially after the Jets traded for his best buddy, receiver
Davante Adams last year. Now that both Rodgers and Adams are on their way out the door, Wilson should be the team's unquestioned No. 1 wideout again in 2025.

Aaron Rodgers' eventual departure greatly increases the chances of wide receiver
Garrett Wilson returning to the New York Jets. Their was tension between Rodgers and Wilson last year, which started in training camp and came to a head late in the regular season, leading to speculation that Wilson could request a trade. In 11 games with both Wilson and
Davante Adams on the team, Adams was targeted 112 times (third-most in the league, while Wilson saw just 87 targets. The 24-year-old Wilson is coming off his third straight 1,000-yard receiving campaign and should be the Jets' unquestioned No. 1 pass-catcher next year after they move on from Adams. Although Wilson should have a much safer target floor in 2025 with Adams out of the picture, his fantasy value will depend a lot on who the Jets tab as their next QB.

Garrett Wilson caught four of his five targets for 51 yards in a 32-20 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 18. Wilson finished third on the team in receiving in the high-scoring win while he was held out of the end zone for the sixth time over his final eight games of the season. The Jets' decision to acquire
Davante Adams at the trade deadline cut into Wilson's production over the back half of the season but he still finished with career highs in catches (102), receiving yards (1,104), and touchdowns (seven). Wilson vented some frustration about his role in December and there have been rumors he could demand a trade this offseason if
Aaron Rodgers remains the team's quarterback, although he later went on record to state that his relationship with Rodgers was fine. It would be a surprise if the Jets were willing to part with their talented stud 24-year-old receiver this offseason.
