The Bottom Line

Garrett Wilson is the better fantasy play this season.

Garrett Wilson has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 3.4-PPG advantage is real (11.6 to 8.2), and Garrett Wilson's 4 touchdowns show scoring upside. Cedric Tillman is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Cedric Tillman vs Garrett Wilson: The Full Breakdown

Cedric Tillman and Garrett Wilson are both viable fantasy wide receivers heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Cedric Tillman averaged 8.2 PPG across 14 games with the Cleveland Browns, while Garrett Wilson posted 11.6 PPG in 7 appearances for the New York Jets.

A 3.4-PPG gap gives Garrett Wilson the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Cedric Tillman turned 78 targets into 612 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Garrett Wilson converted 59 looks into 395 yards and 4 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.

Cedric Tillman has his bye in Week 10, and Garrett Wilson rests in Week 13. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Garrett Wilson at a discount because your league-mates undervalue wide receiver production, do it. Cedric Tillman is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Cedric Tillman (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value. Garrett Wilson (age 25) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
