Garrett Wilson enters the 2026 NFL season as the New York Jets’ primary wide receiver after missing the final 10 games of 2025 with a knee injury that limited him to seven appearances and 36 receptions. With Geno Smith installed as the starting quarterback following an offseason trade, the passing attack projects higher volume than the prior Justin Fields-led unit, though new first-round additions and other pass-catchers have deepened the receiving room and reduced Wilson’s historical target monopoly. Wilson remains healthy and figures as the alpha option in Frank Reich’s offense, but his reception total will hinge on the Jets’ overall pass attempts, red-zone usage, and how quickly the revamped supporting cast integrates. The team’s favorable schedule offers additional opportunity if the offense sustains drives.
