Observation only
FairPlay editorial
Wilson's participation rose while target count held
Wilson drew seven targets in each game while his snap share rose from 75 to 88 percent. He converted 11 catches into 136 yards and a touchdown, but the model's efficiency input is only 38. The market is paying for a sustained target leader; FairPlay wants the expanding role to produce more efficient high-value outcomes over time.
Player-specific analysis · Reviewed September 25, 2026 · Editorial policy
Buy the role, discount the efficiency assumption
Rebuilders can hold the age-26 receiver because participation and demand are strong. Contenders can buy when the price reflects the efficiency gap, but should not pay as though every seven-target game is automatically elite.
Target quality must catch up with opportunity
Eight-plus targets, air-yard share, red-zone work and conversion on the expanded snap role will decide the next tier. Rising snaps with flat targets improves access but not necessarily dominance.
Roster-specific plan
A market favorite with a measurable conversion gap
The same player can require a different decision depending on your competitive window and the liquidity of the return.
Contending roster
Win-now approach
Start him as a strong weekly receiver and buy when the cost sits below the truly elite target earners. Avoid adding a premium solely for name recognition.
Rebuilding roster
Long-term approach
Hold through a normal rebuild; the position and age preserve liquidity. Sell only for a younger elite receiver, scarce quarterback or premium capital package.
Negotiation edge
Best market move
Market demand is 98 and opportunity 98, while production is 94 and efficiency 38. FairPlay's disagreement is specific: access is strong, but the larger valuation still assumes improved conversion.
Evidence file · September 25, 2026
Fourteen targets held steady while snaps expanded
Wilson caught six passes for 79 yards in Week 1 and five for 57 plus a score in Week 2. Participation increased by 13 percentage points, but target count stayed at seven.
The market sees an elite receiver path; the model sees near-elite opportunity with a large efficiency discount. More high-value targets or better conversion can close it without requiring an unsustainable touchdown pace.
FairPlay value 4,557 · Overall rank #67 · Market proxy 98 · Production 94What changes the call
Evidence that closes Wilson's efficiency gap
Eight-plus targets on the expanded snap role would strengthen the elite case.
Improved air-yard or red-zone conversion would raise efficiency without relying on target inflation.
Full snaps with a prolonged seven-or-fewer target ceiling would keep him below the highest tier.
Two deals to test
Wilson trades should price access and conversion separately
These are negotiation scenarios calibrated to the current FairPlay tier, not promises that every league will price the assets identically.
Young receiver choice
Compare current target stability and projected ceiling
Garrett Wilson ↔ Malik Nabers plus an adjustment
Wilson has steadier early targets; Nabers offers a younger window and wider outcome range. The add pays for verified floor.
Contender consolidation
Move two volatile assets into one stable role
Rashee Rice plus a future first ↔ Garrett Wilson
The Wilson side buys participation and target stability. The package side retains more total liquidity if the first is credible.
