DeVonta Smith vs Garrett Wilson
Garrett Wilson holds a 14.2% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/19/2026
THE CASE FOR SMITH
Smith is tethered to an elite offense with stable QB play, keeping his weekly floor strong even as a 1B/2A option. He’s proven he can command targets efficiently and spike weeks when game scripts force volume, without needing a perfect situation. At ~8% cheaper in value, he’s a clean way to buy high-quality WR production at a discount.
THE CASE FOR WILSON
Wilson has already shown he can be a true alpha target earner despite poor QB play, and that profile tends to age well. If the Jets get even average quarterbacking/structure, his ceiling jumps into top-5 WR outcomes with massive volume. He’s younger and carries more insulation as a team’s clear WR1, which is why he commands the premium.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take DeVonta Smith if the 8.2% discount helps you add points elsewhere; take Garrett Wilson if you can pay the premium and still keep lineup depth.
Garrett Wilson is the preferred build block due to age and higher probability of sustained WR1-level target dominance.
If it’s close, lean Garrett Wilson for ceiling/insulation unless the extra cost forces you into starting a weaker flex.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
Garrett Wilson is worth more right now, but the gap is small enough that Smith plus a usable add-on can be the better total bet.
Trade?
I’d trade Smith for Wilson only if the add-on is minor (e.g., a 2nd-equivalent); if you must add a 1st, keep Smith.
Superflex?
In SF both are still WR assets, but I’m less willing to overpay for the Wilson side because liquidity and upside often sit at QB.
