Jets OTAs Open With Garrett Wilson and Braelon Allen Fully Back

The Jets opened OTAs with both Garrett Wilson and Braelon Allen participating, and both will remain full participants moving forward. Wilson was a full participant after missing 10 games last season with a persistent knee injury. Allen had knee surgery after spraining his left MCL in Week 4 and missed the rest of the season.

What They're Saying

Garrett Wilson: “This is probably one of the offenses I’m going to look back on in a few years and love the most. It’s really player-empowering”

2026 Fantasy Football Impact

It's good news for Wilson's fantasy outlook, especially after he also praised new QB Geno Smith's throws and new OC Frank Reich's offense.

This will be Wilson's fourth offense in five years with the Jets, but he should still remain the team's top target. Even after the Jets drafted TE Kenyon Sadiq and WR Omar Cooper Jr. in the first round of the 2026 draft, Wilson should see a large target share.

For fantasy purposes, this looks more like reassurance than a value swing. Wilson still belongs in the WR17 range.

Wilson sits WR17 in our PPR rankings.

Allen, meanwhile, had knee surgery last September and returned as a full participant for OTAs.

Allen's fantasy value took a hit when the Jets signed Breece Hall to a new three-year deal this month, relegating Allen to backup duty with Hall in line for the full workload in Reich's new offense.

We rank Hall RB15 and Allen RB64.
