New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson did not get to help his team as they picked up their first win of the season on Sunday. He has been on the sideline since suffering an injury in Week 6. However, with the Jets on their bye this week, he could get the extra rest he needs to return in Week 10.
Garrett Wilson Injury Update
In Week 6, Garrett Wilson suffered a hyperextended knee in the Jets’ 13-11 loss to the Denver Broncos. He only made three receptions for 13 yards in that game before going down with the injury. He has not returned to the lineup since.
When Will Garrett Wilson Return?
The exact date for Wilson’s return has not been announced by the New York Jets. However, all reports indicate that Wilson’s injury is not expected to keep him out long-term. The day after Wilson hyperextended his knee, insider Adam Schefter reported that Wilson will be out for a couple of weeks.
“An MRI today revealed that Jets WR Garrett Wilson hyperextended his knee and he now is expected to miss, as one source said, ‘a couple of weeks.‘”

If that is accurate, Wilson has already missed two games for the Jets, and he will get another week of rest this week because the Jets are on their bye. As a result, it would seem like there is a strong chance Wilson could be available in Week 10. However, that is not confirmed and will continue to only be speculation until the coaching staff or Wilson say something.
Garrett Wilson Fantasy Outlook
While Garrett Wilson is not playing on a strong team, he is still a player worth rostering in most fantasy leagues. In his first three seasons in the league, he had at least 1000 yards each year. This season, he was on pace for another 1000+ yard year and was one of the bright spots in the Jets’ offense.
So, Wilson should remain on your IR if you own him in fantasy. Once he returns, he should be in your starting lineup unless you have a particularly deep WR core in your league.
