The outlook
What 2026 looks like
for Garrett Wilson.
Wilson's 2025 was cut short at seven games, but the target sheet from those seven weeks is unambiguous: 59 targets, an 87 percent snap share, and a role as the clear first read in the offense. The efficiency was rougher than the volume, a 61 percent catch rate and 6.69 yards per target that point to tough, contested looks rather than easy completions. Even with those discounts, 8.4 targets a game over a full season projects to well over 130 targets, true WR1 territory by any measure of usage, and the target share alone (12.5 percent) undersells how often the ball was designed to go his way.
The 2026 question is purely availability. A player who commands nearly nine targets a game when healthy does not need a role change to be a top-15 receiver, he needs to be on the field for it. The draft-day discount reflects the missed time in 2025 more than any doubt about his skill set. Managers comfortable absorbing durability risk in exchange for true WR1 volume get real value at his current cost. The floor if he misses time again is real too, which is why the projection lands short of the elite tier despite per-game numbers that would otherwise justify it.

Asked & answered
Straight answers,
no filler.
Is Garrett Wilson injured heading into 2026?
As of August 2026, Wilson is on New York's roster. His 2025 season ended after seven games. There is no confirmed new 2026 injury news beyond that; the health question is about durability given last year's missed time, not a fresh report.
Is Garrett Wilson still a fantasy football WR1?
By target volume, yes. He averaged 8.4 targets a game across his seven games last season, true WR1 usage. The ranking sitting below his talent level reflects the missed time, not a drop in role.
What were Garrett Wilson's 2025 stats?
In seven games, Wilson caught 36 of 59 targets for 395 yards and 4 touchdowns, an 87 percent snap share, and a 61 percent catch rate.
Is Garrett Wilson a bust risk for 2026 fantasy drafts?
The bust risk is tied almost entirely to health. If he plays a full season at his 2025 per-game pace, a bust outcome is unlikely. Missing games again is the realistic path to a disappointing return on his draft cost.
