Garrett Wilson vs Tetairoa McMillan
Values are nearly even — within 5% of each other.Updated 9/17/2026
THE CASE FOR WILSON
Garrett Wilson is a proven NFL alpha with elite target-earning already banked, which is the stickiest WR trait for dynasty value. He’s delivered through dysfunctional QB play, so any improvement at quarterback can unlock a true top-5 fantasy ceiling quickly. For contenders, he’s a safer weekly starter profile than a rookie/young breakout bet because the production floor is established.
THE CASE FOR MCMILLAN
Tetairoa McMillan carries the premium age curve at 23.3 with a higher market value, giving you more runway and insulation if the first year isn’t a smash. His value is built on WR1 upside outcomes, and if he hits early in CAR his dynasty price can jump into the true elite tier. In a rebuild, you’re paying for ceiling plus years, which is often the correct macro bet even at a 20.9% premium.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Lean Garrett Wilson—banked NFL target dominance and near-term scoring is worth more than the 20.9% value gap when you’re trying to win now.
Lean Tetairoa McMillan—age and value insulation at WR align better with a longer window, even if you accept more short-term uncertainty.
If your roster is neutral, the price says McMillan, but if you’re starting Wilson weekly then the upgrade isn’t worth paying the premium.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
McMillan is worth more by market (SF 4,908 vs 3,880), but Wilson can be more valuable to a contender in points.
Trade?
If you have Wilson, I’d only move him for McMillan if you’re rebuilding and getting a sweetener back; if you have McMillan, don’t tier down to Wilson without getting paid.
Superflex?
Superflex doesn’t materially change this WR-to-WR comparison beyond making stability (Wilson) slightly more attractive for contenders as QB volatility increases.
