Fantasy Tiers

Garrett Wilson: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) WR (ranked #16 at the position). Trey McBride: Tier 1 (Elite) TE (ranked #1 at the position). Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. A Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) WR is harder to replace on waivers than a Tier 1 (Elite) TE in most league formats.

Garrett Wilson vs Trey McBride: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Garrett Wilson (WR, New York Jets) against Trey McBride (TE, Arizona Cardinals) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Garrett Wilson averaged 11.6 PPG in 2025 over 7 games, while Trey McBride posted 14.9 PPG across 17 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Garrett Wilson has his bye in Week 13, Trey McBride in Week 14. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.
