2024 Season Outlooks

For the second year in a row, Wilson is one of the most common breakout picks in Fantasy Football. Let's hope his quarterback stays healthy. We're drafting Wilson late in Round 1 in full PPR leagues and Round 2 everywhere else. The 24-year-old has caught passes from Zach Wilson, Joe Flacco, Mike White, Trevor Siemian, Tim Boyle, and Chris Streveler in his first two seasons in the NFL. Somehow he topped 80 catches and 1,000 yards in both seasons anyway. With Rodgers under center, 100 catches and 1,500 yards is possible. Most notably, you should expect Wilson to score more. Rodgers has a career 6.2% touchdown rate, while Wilson has only scored on 2.2% of his career receptions. We expect him to double his career touchdowns and then some this season. Wilson is a top-10 WR in Dynasty who could leap into the top five with a hot start to the season.

Wilson is entering his third season with the Jets, with fantasy managers eagerly anticipating his breakout season. Since Wilson joined the league, New York's quarterback unit has yet to exceed a passer rating of 75. Despite this, Wilson has already broken the Jets' franchise records for most receiving yards (1,956) and receptions (159) in his first two seasons. He has also maintained an impressive average of 9.2 targets per game, a reliable metric for wide receivers. Even with Mike Williams added to the fold, Wilson has the potential for a career-best performance in 2024 with Aaron Rodgers returning under center. Projected to lead the Jets in targets, Wilson can be confidently drafted as a low-end WR1 in fantasy drafts.
