Garrett Wilson vs Travis Hunter: 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. Travis Hunter (Jacksonville Jaguars) came in at 7.1 PPG over 7 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Garrett Wilson carries a 4.5-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 Travis Hunter converted 45 looks into 298 yards and 1 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
One thing to note: both players share a Week 12 bye. That means you need a backup plan at wide receiver for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.
