Brian Thomas vs Garrett Wilson
Garrett Wilson holds a 56.1% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 10/1/2026
THE CASE FOR THOMAS
Brian Thomas is 2+ years younger (23.8) and already valued as a top dynasty WR asset, giving you a longer runway for peak seasons. His profile fits the archetype of a weekly ceiling WR (size/speed, downfield and red-zone dominance), which can swing matchups when the offense is functional. At SF 3,168 he’s meaningfully cheaper than Wilson, so you can often get Thomas plus an add and still keep similar long-term WR1 upside.
THE CASE FOR WILSON
Garrett Wilson is the cleaner bet for elite target share and year-to-year stability—he wins at all three levels and has already demonstrated true WR1 usage through multiple QB situations. He’s valued higher (SF 3,880) because his floor is hard to match: volume plus talent tends to translate even when efficiency fluctuates. At 26.0 he’s still firmly in prime years, and if/when QB play stabilizes, he has overall WR1-in-season upside with 160+ target potential.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Wilson is the preferred contender play for safer weekly volume, but I’d take Thomas if the deal is Wilson for Thomas plus a real win-now starter or 1st-equivalent.
Thomas fits a rebuild better because of the age discount and the likelihood you can add extra value on top in a swap.
An 18.4% gap is enough that I’d default to Wilson straight up, but not enough to pass on Thomas+ as the more efficient dynasty bet.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
Garrett Wilson is worth more today by market (about an 18% premium), but Thomas is the better value per point of upside if you can add on in the trade.
Trade?
If you have Wilson, ask for Brian Thomas plus a 1st (or a strong 2nd + starter); if you have Thomas, only add a small piece to get Wilson unless you’re chasing maximum floor.
Superflex?
In Superflex the analysis doesn’t change much for WRs—use the gap to push for a QB upgrade in the add-on rather than overpaying in picks.
