Garrett Wilson vs Stefon Diggs: The Full Breakdown
Garrett Wilson and Stefon Diggs are both viable fantasy wide receivers heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Garrett Wilson averaged 11.6 PPG across 7 games with the New York Jets, while Stefon Diggs posted 9.9 PPG in 17 appearances for the New England Patriots.
A 1.7-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.
Target volume is the story here. Stefon Diggs saw 102 targets in 2025, while Garrett Wilson drew 59. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Stefon Diggs, even in weeks where Garrett Wilson 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 Stefon Diggs 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.
