The New York Jets (0-7) will visit the Cincinnati Bengals (3-4) in Week 8. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Garrett Wilson.
Is Garrett Wilson Playing in Week 8?
Update: Garrett Wilson will not play in Week 8 due to his knee injury.
Wilson (knee) didn’t practice on Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
We’ll continue to monitor the Jets’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Garrett Wilson in Week 8?
The hyperextended knee Garrett Wilson suffered in Week 6 against the Broncos was initially identified as a multi-week injury, so managers should count on being without New York’s alpha target until at least Week 10’s game against Cleveland (Week 9 bye).
Despite the obvious limitations of this offense, Wilson has four WR1 finishes on his 2025 resume, and that requires him to be started in all formats. We can nitpick about the ceiling/floor profile for him compared to those around him in the ranks, but his talent has shown the ability to rise above his supporting case.
Assuming reasonable practice participation heading into that Week 10 game, I’ll feel fine about reinserting him into lineups the second the Jets decide he is healthy enough to return.
