Garrett Wilson vs Jalen McMillan: The Full Breakdown
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Garrett Wilson (New York Jets) finished the 2025 season averaging 11.6 fantasy points per game in 7 games. Jalen McMillan (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) came in at 6.0 PPG over 4 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Garrett Wilson carries a 5.6-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Target volume is the story here. Garrett Wilson saw 59 targets in 2025, while Jalen McMillan drew 15. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Garrett Wilson, even in weeks where Jalen McMillan posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Garrett Wilson has his bye in Week 13, and Jalen McMillan rests in Week 11. 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.
