Garrett Wilson enters the 2026 season as the Jets’ clear WR1 after recovering from a 2025 knee injury that limited him to seven games and four touchdowns. New quarterback Geno Smith and offensive coordinator Frank Reich have shown early chemistry with Wilson in camp and Week 1, where he led the team with six catches for 79 yards in a run-heavy win. The addition of first-round targets Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper Jr., plus tight end Kenyon Sadiq, creates a deeper passing attack that could reduce Wilson’s overall target share while potentially improving red-zone efficiency and play-action opportunities. His shift toward more outside alignments favors contested catches and deeper routes, factors that historically boost touchdown production when paired with a stable quarterback. Health, offensive line protection, and how the run-pass balance evolves remain central variables for his season-long total.
