It’s difficult to imagine a wide receiver prospect with a more impressive pedigree than Garrett Wilson. He’s a top-three recruit from the state of Texas. He earned a five-star rating and was the number two ranked wide receiver in the nation, according to 247 Sports. Plus, he signed and played for “Wide Receiver U” at Ohio State University. Now Wilson is expected to be one of the first wide receivers selected in the NFL Draft at the end of April. He has a truly impressive resume.
But, should dynasty managers be targeting Wilson early in their upcoming rookie drafts?
THE STATS
Statistics from Sports Reference.
As a true freshman, Wilson earned an 11.5 percent weighted dominator rating while competing with three upperclassmen in KJ Hill, Binjimen Victor, and Austin Mack, and two other star wideouts with Jameson Williams and Chris Olave. He also shared touches with future stars Jaxon Smith-Njigba, TreVeyon Henderson, and Marvin Harrison Jr throughout his career with the Buckeyes.
Wilson’s age-adjusted production looks unimpressive without this context.
