Garrett Wilson – WR22
The first-round rookie is coming off of one of his best fantasy days, grabbing 5 catches on 8 targets for 95 yards and two touchdowns (26.4 in PPR) in the Jets’ Week 12 win over the Bears. Wilson has flashed excellence a number of times this season (four 90+ yards games) despite utterly embarrassing QB play.
When in doubt, the answer is simple. Blame Zach Wilson. Wilson averages without Wilson (See what I did there) – 10.5 targets, 19.4 points, and 77.3 yards. Get this, those numbers make the rookie a Top-10 WR in games started by Mike White and Joe Flacco.
The bottom line is – Garrett Wilson MUST be started in fantasy leagues until further notice. On tap for Week 13? The Minnesota Vikings who ranks 28th vs. WR’s this season. Fire him up.
