The New York Jets just secured another offensive tool at No. 30 overall in Omar Cooper Jr., a Deebo Samuel-esque player with a massive 46.8% College Dominator Rating that proves he was a key cog of the Indiana Hoosier offense last year. Cooper proved to be quarterback friendly, sporting a scorching 130.0 Targeted QB Passer Rating (79th-percentile) and a rugged 2.47 career Yards Per Route Run that indicate elite efficiency despite his 22.7 Rookie Age.
The first-round capital for Cooper secure his spot as a late-first-round dynasty rookie value, with his elite 90.3 PFF Grade and his assumed immediate role in a Jets offense providing the value. He will join fellow rookie Kenyon Sadiq and Garrett Wilson in a suddenly crowded Jets pass catching room.

Wide receiver Garrett Wilson will miss at least the next four games after the New York Jets placed him on injured reserve today. Wilson injured his knee last week in the Jets win over the Cleveland Browns.
Wilson has been productive when on the field this year, he’s put up 36 receptions for 395 yards and four touchdowns. The Jets will be counting on rookie tight end Mason Taylor, wide receivers Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson and newly acquired Adonai Mitchell to pick up the slack.
Justin Fields is still their quarterback so with the exception of Taylor these pass catchers shouldn’t be inserted into fantasy lineups.

The New York Jets have downgraded wide receiver Garrett Wilson to out for their Thursday Night Football matchup with the New England Patriots. This isn’t much of a surprise as prior reports have suggested that Wilson could miss multiple weeks.
Wilson has 35 receptions for 395 yards and four touchdowns on the season. In his absence rookie tight end Mason Taylor and newly acquired wide receiver Adonai Mitchell could see increased roles.
Taylor has flashed at times this season, including a nine catch game against the Cowboys, and Mitchell is a former second round pick who could benefit from a change of scenario and increased opportunities.

The Jets just can’t seem to catch any breaks. After 2 straight wins, they lose their stud wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Wilson had just returned from injury.
The knee sprain will not require surgery, however Wilson is expected to miss the next month. Depending on the Jets record, Wilson’s season may be over. The Patriots defense is in a smash spot Thursday night. Aside from Breece Hall, all other Jets are risky fantasy investments.

The Jets are sorely missing star wide receiver Garrett Wilson. He has missed with a knee injury since Week 7 and is coming off a bye week feeling healthy.
Wilson will be a much needed weapon versus the stout Cleveland Browns defense. Whether it is Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor starting at quarterback, this is much welcomed news for Jets fans and fantasy gamers alike. Fire up Garrett Wilson as a back end WR1.

The Jets made Garrett Wilson one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL, agreeing to a four-year, $130 million extension with a whopping $90 million guaranteed, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The deal makes Wilson the first WR to average over $30 million per year after just three NFL seasons, placing him fifth in average annual salary – nestled between DK Metcalf and A.J. Brown.
Now entering his age-25 season, Wilson opened his career with three straight 1,000-yard seasons, averaging 156 targets per year while never missing a game. His volume has been elite from the jump – but the efficiency hasn’t followed. He’s posted negative fantasy points over expectation (FPOE) in all three seasons, though 2024 marked his most efficient campaign to date, finishing as the WR18 in PPR points per game.
Subpar quarterback play has largely limited Wilson’s ceiling. He never clicked with Aaron Rodgers, with reports suggesting Rodgers grew frustrated with Wilson’s improvisational style. Now with Davante Adams off to Los Angeles, Wilson projects as the clear No. 1 target in a run-heavy Jets offense, catching passes from Justin Fields – his former Ohio State teammate. While the reunion may bring some chemistry, Fields is unlikely to unlock Wilson’s ceiling as a fantasy star.
Currently going as the WR16 on Underdog (Round 3 ADP), Wilson remains a high-floor, low-ceiling fantasy pick – buoyed by elite usage and durability, but weighed down by ongoing efficiency issues. That said, a 30% target share is well within reach in 2025.
