Devon Platana· Aug 19, 2026
Platana projects the Jets' post-move wide receiver depth chart for 2026 — Garrett Wilson first, Adonai Mitchell second, rookie Omar Cooper Jr. third, Isaiah Williams fourth, Tim Patrick fifth and Jamaal Pritchett sixth — with Cam Camper, Quincy Skinner Jr. and Arian Smith landing on the practice squad. He also expects a bounce-back 1,000-yard season from Wilson.
“To no one's surprise, Garrett Wilson heads into the 2026 NFL season as the Jets' No. 1 wide receiver yet again.”
