Fantasy Tiers

Courtland Sutton: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) WR (ranked #21 at the position). Garrett Wilson: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) WR (ranked #16 at the position). Among the top 50 wide receivers this season, Courtland Sutton is producing at 49% of elite pace and Garrett Wilson at 53%. That ranking gap means Garrett Wilson carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Courtland Sutton vs Garrett Wilson: The Full Breakdown

Courtland Sutton (10.7 PPG) and Garrett Wilson (11.6 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two wide receivers are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. Courtland Sutton played 17 games for the Denver Broncos; Garrett Wilson suited up 7 times for the New York Jets.

A 0.9-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.

Target volume is the story here. Courtland Sutton saw 124 targets in 2025, while Garrett Wilson drew 59. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Courtland Sutton, even in weeks where Garrett Wilson posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Courtland Sutton sits Week 10 while Garrett Wilson is off Week 13. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Courtland Sutton (age 30) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Garrett Wilson (age 25) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
