Garrett Wilson vs Jaylen Waddle
Garrett Wilson holds a 40.8% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 10/1/2026
THE CASE FOR WILSON
Garrett Wilson is the younger asset (26.0) with a clear profile as a target-earning alpha, which is the most bankable trait in dynasty WR valuation. His market value edge (3,880 vs 3,189; +17.8%) reflects stronger long-term insulation and a higher likelihood to remain a weekly top-12 type centerpiece. If the Jets get even average QB play, Wilson’s ceiling outcomes (high-volume WR1 seasons) are more attainable than most peers.
THE CASE FOR WADDLE
Jaylen Waddle still offers week-winning spike weeks thanks to elite speed and efficiency, and his skill set translates well if Denver schemes him into space and manufactured touches. At 27.7, you’re buying closer to the production window than the multi-year insulation window, which can be ideal for contenders who want points without paying peak pricing. The discount vs Wilson can be a feature if you can add a meaningful plus (2nd/3rd-tier asset) on top of Waddle in trades.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Lean Waddle if you can get him plus an add, but straight up I still prefer Wilson for both floor and league-winning ceiling if QB stabilizes.
Wilson is the clear pick because the age and value insulation matter more than near-term variance.
The 17.8% gap is justified—I'd need Waddle plus a solid sweetener to move off Wilson.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
Garrett Wilson is worth more, and the current ~18% gap is broadly reasonable in dynasty markets.
Trade?
If you have Wilson, only pivot to Waddle if you’re getting a meaningful plus (e.g., a mid/early 2nd or a good young depth piece).
Superflex?
In SF, the WR-vs-WR logic doesn’t change much—use the format to demand the plus as a QB/2nd-round type add rather than settling for a marginal throw-in.
