2026 Week 8 Fantasy Football Breaking News: Garrett Wilson Trade Rumors
Wilson says he wants to stay a Jet, but his name is circulating as the deadline approaches — here's what it means for your roster.
According to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), Garrett Wilson has stated he is hoping not to get traded as the NFL trade deadline — set for 4 p.m. ET on November 10 — approaches. Wilson's name has surfaced in trade chatter, but the source story does not report any deal in progress or a specific acquiring team. This is a watch-and-wait situation, not a done deal.

Wilson's preference to stay in New York is a mild positive signal for Jets managers, but it doesn't take him off the trade board — players don't control their own trades. If he does move, his fantasy value could swing dramatically depending on the offense he lands in, but no destination has been reported. Hold him for now, and check back as November 10 gets closer.
If a trade does happen and Wilson's Jets role evaporates, Omar Cooper Jr. would be next in line for targets — he's played in all seven games this season and is averaging 4.3 targets and 51.4% of snaps. Adonai Mitchell has seen even heavier target volume (6.0 per game) in his three games played, though his snap share at 65.1% suggests a larger role when active. Either could absorb looks in a Wilson-less Jets passing game, but that scenario isn't confirmed and may never materialize.
