Garrett Wilson vs Luther Burden: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Garrett Wilson and Luther Burden for your lineup, you are not alone. Garrett Wilson finished the 2025 season at 11.6 PPG for the New York Jets (7 games), and Luther Burden averaged 7.0 for the Chicago Bears (15 games).
That 4.6-point weekly advantage for Garrett Wilson is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Garrett Wilson turned 59 targets into 395 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Luther Burden converted 60 looks into 652 yards and 2 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
Garrett Wilson has his bye in Week 12, and Luther Burden rests in Week 7. 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.
