Garrett Wilson vs Terry McLaurin: Who Should You Start?
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. Terry McLaurin (Washington Commanders) came in at 9.5 PPG over 10 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Garrett Wilson carries a 2.1-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.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Garrett Wilson turned 59 targets into 395 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Terry McLaurin converted 60 looks into 582 yards and 3 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
One scheduling note: Garrett Wilson is off Week 12 and Terry McLaurin Week 14. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
