Garrett Wilson's fantasy role in Week 2
Garrett Wilson goes into Week 2 of the 2026 season as a locked-in weekly starter at WR for the NYJ. He is rostered in 99% of leagues and actually started in 91% of them, and we rank him WR15 on our own weekly board at 12.7 projected points.
Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 2 matchup breakdown
The matchup: vs GB. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 3 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.
Against a typical starting WR baseline of 10 points, his 12.7-point projection is 2.7 points better. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Start Garrett Wilson in Week 2: our WR15 projects for 12.7 points, 2.7 above a typical starting WR.
If you are deciding between him and another WR, compare projections first, then lean on the Pepper Meter heat rating as the tiebreaker.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Garrett Wilson (NYJ WR), our WR15 this week for Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season vs GB, projecting 12.7 projected points with a hot Pepper Meter rating. 91% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. I have him at WR15 because the projection lands about 27% clear of what a typical WR banks in a week. At home against GB, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Hot on the Pepper Meter reflects a steady weekly floor rather than a boom week — that's still a start.
